What is a historic hotel like in Boston?

These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
