What is a historic hotel like in Donegal?

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 US, while "heritage hotel" is often used in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value and how it influenced the community.

In Donegal, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's rundown or uncomfortable for guests.
