Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG

Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Viajamos en Familia para conocer Edinburgo y estuvimos muy comodos en este hotel! Si bien no está en el centro, está al lado del zoo y la zona es muy tranquila. La parada de micros está en la puerta, llegan muy rapido al centro y al aeropuerto. La espera es breve. El hotel está muy bien equipado, las camas cómodas, toallas suficientes, Pava electrica para prepararse café, té con leche. El desayuno es muy abundante y variado, desde platos calientes, huevos, panceta, bollería, panqueques, yogurt, frutas, cereales y café expresso, te, chocolate y jugos. La zona del desayuno es muy bonita y tiene un Starbucks también! El personal es muy amable. El hotel cuenta con pileta e hidro climatizados. El dia del check out pudimos dejar nuestras valijas en consigna para poder recorrer y volver por ellas mas tarde. Sin duda volveriamos a alojarnos! "

These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to focus on the physical building and architecture. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.

Booking a historic hotel in Edinburgh doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
