What is a historic hotel like in Detroit?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, stately homes, palaces or even pubs, lodges, old police stations or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Detroit typically preserve original characteristics such as period features or traditional architecture in their communal spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is more commonly used in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to place more significance on the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the place's cultural value and how it shaped the community.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features.

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