What is a historic hotel like in Waikiki?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place recognised with a national historic designation.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.

In Waikiki, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
