What is a historic hotel like in Addis Ababa?
A historic hotel gives guests the chance to stay in a place that's been officially recognised with a historic designation.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value that the place has and how it shaped the community.

Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, while interiors have safety features and modern conveniences.
