"The staff was wonderful. The building was undergoing renovations but still clean. Room clean and very nice set up. The one thing not so good was the weak coffee."

What is a historic hotel like in Lexington?
Guests who choose a historic hotel can stay in a place that has an officially recognised historic designation. A castle, stately home, palace or even a pub, lodge, old police station or skyscraper can be identified as a historic hotel as long as it's a place of special interest. Traditional architecture and period features are typically found in the communal spaces and guestrooms of such hotels in Lexington, giving a historical feel.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
"Heritage hotel" is a term often used in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar. The architecture and building of a historic hotel is generally what's most important. For a heritage hotel, often it's the cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Lexington have modern facilities?
Hotel interiors feature the modern conveniences and safety features you might expect, but every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades.

Rest assured that when you choose a historic hotel in Lexington, you won't be staying at a place that's uncomfortable or rundown.
