What is a historic hotel like in Kobe?

You'll often hear the term "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe, while "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S. but overall the terms are quite similar. The architecture and building of historic hotels tend to be what's most important. For a heritage hotel, it's mainly the cultural value and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in Kobe have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors should expect the popular amenities you'd get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi, and more. When you book a historic hotel in Kobe, it doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's uncomfortable for guests or simply rundown.
