What is a historic hotel like in Bangkok?

A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a place officially recognized with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs, or skyscrapers — as long as it’s of special interest. These types of hotels in Bangkok often preserve original elements like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.

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.
