Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in Thurso usually retain original qualities such as period features or traditional architecture in guestrooms or communal spaces. ### What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel? > These terms 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 physical building and architecture.
