What is a historic hotel like in Chicago?
A historic hotel gives guests the opportunity to stay in a place that's been recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place's cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Chicago have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.

When you book a historic hotel in Chicago, it doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
