Fort hotels are historical hotels with a large fort that was once used as an army post. Its large protective walls are sturdy enough for a hotel, and usually feature ocean or lake views outside, cliff tops and wide stargazing views. Forts are sometimes named after army leaders and remain decorated in the style of yesterday, with cotton sheets, gold fixtures, and rock swimming pools.
