What is a historic hotel like in London?
Historic hotels give guests an opportunity to stay in a place officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — any place of special interest.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasise the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in London have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features.

In London, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
