What is a historic hotel like in Inverness?
When you book a historic hotel, you'll spend a night or two someplace that has an officially recognised national historic designation. A castle, stately home, palace or even a pub, lodge, old police station or skyscraper can be turned into a historic hotel provided that it's a place of special interest.

"Heritage hotel" is more common in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar.

Do historic hotels in Inverness have modern facilities?
Hotels include modern conveniences and safety features you expect to find, though efforts have been made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions.
