Guests who choose historic hotels have a chance to stay in a building that has been recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Penguin typically preserve original characteristics like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.

They are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., while “heritage hotel” is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the building and architecture itself. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the place’s cultural value and how it shaped the community.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you’d get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Penguin doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
