"Central location with Restaurant Pub on one side of the hotel and Bakery on the other. Did not use the Sauna but a very enjoyable one night stay at this Boutique style hotel. Would continue the Adventure on my next visit to Nelson, no hesitation."

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., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe.

In Nelson, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
