Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place that’s been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of 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 Garden City often retain original characteristics like traditional architecture and period features in their communal spaces or guestrooms.

These are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and actual building. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place’s cultural value and how it inspired the community.

Hotel interiors feature the modern conveniences and safety features you might expect, though efforts have been made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the amenities found in most hotels will also be available in a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Garden City, don’t worry that you’ll be staying at a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
