German term or phrase: Ein Gefühl vergangener Zeit
It's the title on the website of a hotel and refers to the fact that the building is 600 years old.
I know what it means of course but I can't come up with a catchy phrase.
Thanks for your help.

Ein Gefühl vergangener Zeit
The past is brought to life


Explanation:
I think this would work OK. Or maybe: "History is brought/comes to life". A little more poetic might be: "Recapturing the feel of olden times".
