Surely
if the H is silent then its an 'an' and if its not then its an 'a'.
eg. A Hotel
An Hour
or if you cant pronounce words properly 'An 'otel'.

I thought it didn't matter if the 'h' was silent or not,
since you can say either an historian or a historian and still be correct.

that's a bit old fashioned
and "an homage" suggests it is being pronounced in the american faux-french stylee rather hom-idge.
