What is a historic hotel like in Riga?

Traditional architecture and period features can be admired in the public spaces and guestrooms of such hotels in Riga, giving a historical feel.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These terms are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. A historic hotel tends to put more importance on the physical building and architecture. Mainly a heritage hotel draws meaning from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Riga have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you'd get from a hotel such as WiFi, heating and air conditioning, and updated bathroom facilities. Booking a historic hotel in Riga doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
