A historic hotel gives guests an opportunity to stay in a building that has been recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Chinatown often retain original elements such as period features or traditional architecture in guestrooms or communal spaces.

You’ll often hear the term “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe, while “historic hotel” is a term often used in the U.S. though overall the terms are quite similar. The architecture and actual building of a historic hotel is generally what’s most significant. For heritage hotels, often it’s the cultural value as well as how it shaped the community.

Hotels have the safety features and modern conveniences you expect to find, but every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the popular amenities found at a contemporary hotel should be available at a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Chinatown, don’t worry that you’ll find yourself staying at a place that’s uncomfortable or rundown.
