Liberty Hotel (former Charles Street Jail)

The Liberty Hotel occupies the former Charles Street Jail, a 19th-century granite jail that was redeveloped and reopened as a boutique hotel in 2007. The adaptive reuse preserved architectural features of the original cellblocks and central rotunda, which are incorporated into the hotel's public spaces. The transformation of a historic municipal jail into a hospitality venue is frequently cited in discussions of preservation and urban reuse in Boston.
