A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a building recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in New Delhi usually retain original elements like traditional architecture and period features within the guestrooms or public spaces.

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 architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it influenced the community.

Yes, every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the amenities you’d get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. When you book a historic hotel in New Delhi, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
