One way to hold storied: the -ed ending here means carrying something, the way means carrying a beard. So storied is carrying stories. A storied hotel walks around with a hundred tales stuck to its name, and you cannot say the name without one of them coming along. The second meaning of storied borrows the same ending but a different story: a building carrying floors.

storied 可以想成「身上帶著某樣東西」的 -ed,就像 bearded 是「帶著鬍子的」。那 storied 就是「帶著故事的」。一間 storied 的老旅館,名字上黏著上百個故事,你一提它,故事就跟著出來。另一條線用的是同一個 -ed,但帶的東西不是故事,而是樓層。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary gives two separate routes for this spelling: story (a tale) + -ed, and story (a floor, level) + -ed. They are different words that happen to look the same.

來源列出兩條不同的來源:一條是 story(故事)+ -ed,一條是 story(樓層)+ -ed。它們是兩個剛好長得一樣的字。
