A guest who chooses a historic hotel has a chance to stay in a place officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Ploiesti typically preserve authentic elements such as period features or traditional architecture in guestrooms or communal spaces.

They are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., while “heritage hotel” is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. Heritage hotels draw their meaning mainly from the place’s cultural value and how it influenced the community.

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