The Arabic name of the hotel translates as heritage; the hotel is an authentic Aleppine building which was built over two and a half centuries ago. It has been keenly restored to display the architectural magnificence of Aleppo's heritage or 'tourath'. The ceiling of each of the hotel's 15 guest rooms has a design that pertains to a civilisation that had once flourished in Syria, the cradle of civilisation. Facilities available to guests at this guesthouse include a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services, a hotel safe, TV lounge, restaurant, and room and laundry services.

The historical hotel is located in the centre of Aleppo city. It is situated in the middle of the main market, 2 km from the bus station and the train station, 12 km from the airport, and 2 km from the citadel and the bazaar.
