They 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 emphasise the building and architecture itself. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the place’s cultural value and how it shaped the community.

Hotel interiors feature the modern conveniences and safety features you might expect, but every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, free WiFi and the normal amenities found in any hotel should be available at a historic hotel.
