Liberty Hotel (former Charles Street Jail)

The Liberty Hotel occupies the restored Charles Street Jail, a granite jailhouse built in 1851 that was adaptively reused and reopened as a luxury hotel in 2007. The conversion preserved cellblock elements and the jail's central rotunda while adding modern hospitality spaces, making it a notable example of adaptive reuse in Boston. The building sits on the edge of Beacon Hill overlooking the Charles River and often draws attention for its contrasting historic-industrial interior within a hotel setting.
