When you choose a historic hotel, you'll spend a night or two in a building that has an officially recognised national historic designation. A palace, castle, grand home or even an old police station, pub, lodge or skyscraper can be turned into a historic hotel provided that it's a place of special interest. Traditional architecture and period features are typically found in the guestrooms or communal spaces of such hotels in Dien Bien Phu, bringing the history to life.
