Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a building that has 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 — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Elmina typically preserve original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture in their communal spaces or guestrooms.

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 place more significance on the building and architecture itself. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it shaped the community.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay can expect the usual amenities you’d get from a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Elmina doesn’t mean you’re picking a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
