The hotel was wonderful! The connections to the former jail were amusing (The Clink restaurant and the ‘Solitary’ do not disturb sign). The retention of parts of the original building was brilliant.
I don’t know why anyone Wld use a barn door on a bathroom! It provides no privacy whatsoever!

Superb bed and pillows. Tastefully decorated rooms and public areas. Good restaurant and excellent breakfast. Great location
No meet and great when we arrived late at night. No offer to help with luggage. No tea/coffee making facilities. There was an option to have a kettle and tea/ coffee making but only the kettle materialised so no use. Although the building was lovely the stay wasn't worth the money we had to pay.

Great location at the edge of Beacon Hill. Rooms quiet and bed extremely comfortable. Very unique atmosphere as historically was the old Charles Street jail and elements remain in the decor.

About
Overview
Housed in an iconic Boston landmark and originally built as a prison in 1851, the Liberty Hotel is a unique luxury property with a fun, modern atmosphere and design that honors the building’s rich history.
Liberty Hotel underwent a restoration in 2007 and in 2016; an $11 million dollar investment pushed the hotel into luxury. The 298 rooms at the hotel are stylish and elegant, with interesting decorative elements that incorporate the incarceration theme, and upscale bathrooms with separate rain showers and soaking tubs. Details such as framed skeleton keys, heavy vaults for bedside tables, and earth tones make the rooms classy while giving praise to history. Amenities include quality Luxury Collection beds topped with Frette linens, large flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and minibars.
The Liberty features three restaurants and two bars, each with a distinct dining option. Multiple dining options combined with a fitness center, 24-hour business center, indoor and outdoor event space, and pet-friendly accommodations all make this hotel one of the best values in Boston. The intriguing back story and architectural grace make it one of the most attractive hotels in the area.
Located in Boston’s Beacon Hill community and two blocks from the Charles River, the Liberty is just a short walk to lots of shopping, dining, and tourist sites such as the Charles River Esplanade, the Museum of Science, and the Boston Common. The hotel is also a 10-minute drive from Fenway Park, Harvard Square, Harvard University and Faneuil Hall.
The Liberty is popular with couples and business travelers but is also a great choice for visitors interested in history.
