What is a historic hotel like in Canberra?
A guest who chooses a historic hotel has an opportunity to stay in a building officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world come in all forms like castles, palaces, grand homes or even old police stations, pubs, lodges or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Canberra usually retain authentic elements 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 a term often used in the US, whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the building and architecture itself. Mainly a heritage hotel draws meaning from the cultural value and how it shaped the community.

Booking a historic hotel in Canberra doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown.
