What is a historic hotel like in Santorini?
Historic hotels give guests the chance to stay in a place that's been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can be castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Santorini often retain original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the architecture and actual building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the community.
Do historic hotels in Santorini have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Guests can expect the amenities you'd find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, and free and fast Internet. In Santorini, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
