A guest who chooses a historic hotel has the opportunity to stay in a building officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of stately homes, palaces or even lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Olinda often retain authentic 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., whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus 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.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you’d find in a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Olinda doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
