A historic hotel gives guests an opportunity to stay in a building that has been recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like stately homes, palaces or even lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that’s been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in The Gardens often preserve authentic characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture within the guestrooms or public spaces.

These are quite similar. The term “historic hotel” is more common in the U.S., while “heritage hotel” is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the architecture and building. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value that the place has and how it influenced the community.

Yes, every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the usual amenities you’d find in a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. When you book a historic hotel in The Gardens, it doesn’t mean you’re picking a place that’s uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
