Continuing our blog series on Twitter resources for heritage- and culture-minded travelers (for previous posts, read
90+ Twittering Towns that Speak to Your Travel Interests,
Part 1 and
Part 2), I’ve compiled a list of historic hotels, inns and lodges that are actively tweeting on Twitter.
These hotels are doing a wonderful job of staying connected to travelers who are not just seeking a hotel stay but an enriching experience in a historic building or house. Historically, the properties are significant in many ways and play vital roles in the history of their cities or regions. Those tweeting on behalf of the hotels aren’t just talking about their own properties but also about area sites, activities and events that may interest their guests.
Here are 32 historic hotels, inns and lodges that are tweeting away with information that could help you on your travels. This is just half of the list — Arizona through Massachusetts (alphabetically). Part 2 will be published in the coming days, so stay tuned!
