Boston's jaw-dropping luxury hotel, located where the Charles Street Jail used to stand, with cheeky nods to its original construction. - Eric Grossman
Of The Liberty Hotel's 300 guestrooms, 20 are located within the old Charles Street Jail, with the remaining housed in a new 16-story tower. The modern rooms -- each of which has a flat-screen TV -- are tastefully appointed, with many enjoying river views. Located near the Esplanade, and next to the Charles Street T stop, the hotel provides an ideal home base for tourists. On-site drinking and dining options are set to include Clink (small plates), Scampo (upscale modern fare by Lydia Shire) and Alibi (a nightlife destination, courtesy of Patrick Lyons).
