Actually, if you check Google (not an official grammar source, I know, but still interesting to
see) you will find over 68,000,000 entries for "a history" and just over 128,000 entries
for "an history". Just a little food for thought. :)
Similar situation for a hotel or an hotel, except there was an entry for "Ask Oxford" that suggested the old fashioned way of saying it was "an hotel"

Take care!
