Historic boutique hotels gain an element of authenticity by developers applying specific features into a building that is considered historic by the very nature of their beginnings, whether they were hotels to start with or a building that has been adapted, converted and/or renovated to be a boutique hotel. Many times, a hotel may get extra financial assistance or tax credits, as an example, to assist in the development of these properties. Having the ability to market these properties with their historical references, makes them highly desired as long as design aesthetics and service elements are actually in the close to luxury category. Those can includes experiences throughout the property.
