From the Site: Once the storied Charles Street Jail, The
Liberty Hotel in Boston welcomes guests to Boston with the spirit of a
landmark liberated following an extensive $150 million acquisition,
renovation and construction process. Marrying historic architecture
with the high standards of refined, modern travel, The Liberty Hotel is
New England’s premier luxury hotel in Boston Massachusetts. Commanding
in scale, the original granite edifice was innovative for its day,
comprising a beautiful cruciform-shaped structure complete with a
90-foot central rotunda and cupola built in 1851. Today, through
meticulous planning reflective of the property’s colorful past, this
strong and beautiful building is home to a variety of transcendent
public spaces linked by historic catwalks – including lobby and
reception areas, restaurant, bar, grand ballroom, and meeting rooms –
as well as a limited number of guestrooms. Among the other dramatic
features that have been preserved are vestiges of jail cells within the
hotel lobby bar and magnificent, oversize windows. A new, adjoining
16-story tower houses the majority of guestrooms with every modern
convenience.
The ultimate union of historic influence and
contemporary design, The Liberty Hotel is a luxury hotel in Boston,
inspired by a sophisticated interior decor that integrates with the
architecture’s beautiful simplicity. Echoing the stone facade,
reception desks are punctuated with a panel of granite warmed by a
surrounding concentric panel of mahogany woods. Throughout the public
areas, American colonial prints, enlarged and rendered in historic
colors such as maroon, gray and purple, provide a fresh take on a
traditional look, while bold geometric carpets in rich hues of purple
and yellow are reminiscent of New England window panes and the friezes
