"The torturous winding road and hairpin bends,make this hotel quite difficult to get to; it is also at the top of a very, very steep mountain, SO steep and narrow our car could not make it to the top. We had to get out and climb the next kilometre on foot, with our baggage, up a rough, unmade, rocky road; when we eventually arrived we faced another climb up two dozen steep steps to the door.

They are quite similar. “Historic hotel” is a term often used in the US, whereas “heritage hotel” is common in Asia and Europe.
