Ship Leopard Boutique Hotel - No Children
3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (541)
"Lovely heritage hotel and endearing staff who made you feel at home. The Harbor View is a bit of a misnomer as the harbor has been eclipsed by a transportation hub, so the main view is of a bus station. Harbor View rooms are at the front of the hotel, which is also the sunny side, so get very warm on nice days and the hotel does not have air conditioning in the rooms ( only common areas). Breakfast was excellent."

What is a historic hotel like in Portsmouth?
Historic hotels give guests a chance to stay in a place officially recognised with a 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 — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Portsmouth typically preserve original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These terms are 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 physical building and architecture. Mainly a heritage hotel draws meaning from the place’s cultural value and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Portsmouth have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you’d find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. Booking a historic hotel in Portsmouth doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
