The Liberty, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Boston
Hotel · Boston, MA
About
The Liberty draws a mixed crowd of fashion-forward locals and curious travelers. This luxury hotel was once the Charles Street Jail, built in 1851, and its transformation preserved the iconic brick architecture. The three-story lobby features a giant chandelier, creating a striking collision of old and new. Every Thursday, StyleBoston hosts a 'Fashionably Late' soiree here, and the in-house restaurant Clink dishes out special treats. The 300-room property offers sweeping Charles River views from its Beacon Hill perch.
You'll find a mix of LGBTQ+ and straight guests, with a relaxed vibe that extends to the smoking area. The rooms blend modern tech with historic details. Go on a Thursday to catch the weekly soiree, or anytime for a drink at one of three dining venues. It's also steps from Charles Street shopping and the financial district.
Located in Back Bay near Cambridge St., The Liberty sits on the edge of Beacon Hill, close to the Charles River and upscale shopping on Charles Street.
