The Liberty Hotel

Beacon Hill luxury in former 19th-century Boston jail

History abounds

Formerly the storied Charles Street Jail, this unique hotel stands at the base of historic Beacon Hill. Massachusetts General Hospital and the Charles River Esplanade are both within a block. Boston Common is one-third of a mile away.

Dinner in CLINK.

CLINK., The Liberty Hotel's aptly named on-site restaurant, offers seating beneath the lobby rotunda or in the dining area by an original jail cell. Alibi, the bar, is set in the former “drunk tank,” complete with brick cell walls.

Liberty Hotel

The Liberty Hotel is a beautiful hotel with an amazing architectual history. The rooms were very comfortable, and the staff was always pleasant and polite. It is located next to a T station making it very easy to get around Boston. The only issue we had was that trash trucks would come throughout the night to empty dumpsters (filled with glass) a few stories below our room. Very disturbing!

Love to stay there again

The hotel is very well done. Decorating a former jail is a challenge and it was definitely achieved. Staff was helpful and pleasant.

What? A hotel without hot water?

I was very disappointed with my experience at this hotel. The room was fine- not great, but there was not a drop of hot water. I was there for a big party- and when I called the desk- they said- "Yup- NO hot water today. We have called for someone to look at it." What? A hotel without hot water? They left a card for breakfast and a note the next morning, but the room should have been comped in my opinion. The bar downstairs was a real hotspot- if you are looking for that.

Traveler's tip on nightlife

Great hopping late night hotel bar.
