What is a historic hotel like in Philadelphia?

A stately home, palace or even a lodge, old police station or skyscraper can be considered a historic hotel provided that it's a place of special interest. Traditional architecture and period features are often found in the public spaces and guestrooms of such hotels in Philadelphia, giving a historical feel.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
You'll often hear the term "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S. though overall the terms are quite similar. The architecture and actual building of historic hotels tend to be what's most significant. For a heritage hotel, it's mainly the cultural value as well as how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in Philadelphia have modern facilities?
Hotels include modern conveniences and safety features you expect to find, but every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the amenities found at a contemporary hotel should be available at a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Philadelphia, don't worry that you'll find yourself staying at a place that's uncomfortable or rundown.
