The Liberty Luxury Collection Hotel, Boston
More photosExpert reviews
“For a posh jailbreak, try the Liberty Hotel; once the Charles Street Jail, the 298-room hotel features five bars and dining spots and a captivating, multitiered lobby.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Boston.
“All 298 guest rooms come with luxurious linens and high-tech amenities, while the 18 in the original jail wing boast floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing views of the Charles River and Beacon Hill.”
“You’d never think that people would be clamoring to get into a Boston prison, but the Charles Street Jail — now converted into The Liberty, A Luxury Collection Hotel — is one of the city’s hottest spots.”
“Since it opened in late 2007, the buzz surrounding the chic Liberty—formerly Boston’s Charles Street Jail—was at first deafening, with bankers, tech geeks, foreign playboys, and fashionistas all scrambling to call it their own.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Boston.
“Spend the night in the slammer: unique and luxurious, the Liberty Hotel is set in Boston’s former Charles Street Jail, built in 1851. In this century, the striking granite building has rooms you won’t want to leave, and some of the city’s best bars and restaurants. The old drunk tank is where locals go to play.”

Clink Restaurant- food was good but the service was SLOW!!! Went there 3 times, so it wasn’t fluke. Need more staff. The wait was UNACCEPTABLE!

Okay hotel with an interesting history.
The location was great.
I wouldn’t call the hotel luxury. For the price of the room I expected more. There was a fire alarm that went off around 12am which caused an evacuation. That wasn’t fun.

Very nice hotel, interesting history but for $600/night we would like the toilet to work
nice lobby, love the history of the hotel
The toilet in our bathroom didn’t work properly. We had maintenance come up but he couldn’t fix it.

As expected but pricy
I asked for bath tub (not just shower) and got that.
Didn't replenish some of the toiletries (eg soap)
Ordered taxi for 4.30 am (to get to airport) and it wasn't there.

AMAZING!! Would recommend. Lived up to all my expectations.
After visiting for drinks on a couple of occasions I was so looking forward to staying overnight, Wonderful stay. Room is vey spacious and some great touches in terms of the decoration. We were offered a glass of champagne on arrival. All the staff were so attentive and friendly. We ate at Scampo and also had drinks and food in the bar area. Breakfast at The Clink rounded out a really special weekend.
Restrooms on 2nd floor could have been cleaner

CN Traveler + 1 more“For truly opulent yet thoughtful digs in a just-renovated historic site that offers as much style as it does comfort; think local art in all 312 rooms, not-so-mini bars stocked with Massachusetts-sourced goodies, 17 suites with heated bathroom floors, and chic dining (and imbibing) options that have long attracted locals.”
