What is a historic hotel like in Williamsburg?

A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a building officially recognized with a historic designation.

These types of hotels in Williamsburg often preserve original elements such as period features or traditional architecture in their public spaces or guestrooms.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?

The two are similar. “Historic hotel” is a term often used in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to emphasize the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value and how it influenced the community.

Hotels have the safety features and modern conveniences you expect to find, but every effort is made to preserve historic facades and treasured traditions. Private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, free and fast Internet, and the usual amenities found in a hotel should be available at a historic hotel. When you choose a historic hotel in Williamsburg, don’t worry that you’ll find yourself staying at a place that’s uncomfortable or rundown.
