Overview

Housed in an iconic Boston landmark and originally built as a prison in 1851, the Liberty Hotel is a unique luxury property with a fun, modern atmosphere and design that honors the building’s rich history.

Liberty Hotel underwent a restoration in 2007 and in 2016; an $11 million dollar investment pushed the hotel into luxury. The 298 rooms at the hotel are stylish and elegant, with interesting decorative elements that incorporate the incarceration theme, and upscale bathrooms with separate rain showers and soaking tubs. Details such as framed skeleton keys, heavy vaults for bedside tables, and earth tones make the rooms classy while giving praise to history. Amenities include quality Luxury Collection beds topped with Frette linens, large flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and minibars.

The Liberty features three restaurants and two bars, each with a distinct dining option. Multiple dining options combined with a fitness center, 24-hour business center, indoor and outdoor event space, and pet-friendly accommodations all make this hotel one of the best values in Boston. The intriguing back story and architectural grace make it one of the most attractive hotels in the area.

Located in Boston’s Beacon Hill community and two blocks from the Charles River, the Liberty is just a short walk to lots of shopping, dining, and tourist sites such as the Charles River Esplanade, the Museum of Science, and the Boston Common. The hotel is also a 10-minute drive from Fenway Park, Harvard Square, Harvard University and Faneuil Hall.

The Liberty is popular with couples and business travelers but is also a great choice for visitors interested in history.

Caroline, Aug 2022
The rooms’ doors are extremely noisy so it is impossible to sleep in pass 6:45 as people start going on with their day. Room staff are starting to make rooms, vacuum and open doors multiple times starting at 7:30…in 10 minutes, we counted 15 doors closing in and out at 8am…they are not discreet and could be less noisy…that kinda ruined our stay in very expensive hotel.

Pros (+) Great atmosphere, historic building! Concierge even made 9 degrees sound fun at our 8 am wake up call... hard to do. Overall very unique and satisfying experience. Clink was a unique dining experience. Breakfast was delicious, the lemon chive hollandaise was top notch but the flavor notes were subtle. I couldn't be more pleased!

Pros (+) Clean and comfortable. Good valet staff.
Cons (-) $50 parking... conveniently not mentioned prior to arrival. Asked for 2 queens and got a king. Nothing but 20-somethings in the lobby any time I was in it (ZZZzzzzzz). As I almost live in hotels, I care about the mix for my own sanity and it would be nice to have a more professionally/intellectually diverse mix. Inconvenient access to AC plugs at the desk. Occupancy sensors suck. No mint:)

Pros (+) The liberty staff, amenities, location and feel were top notch.
Cons (-) I did not like how thin the walls connecting the rooms were. It was hard to fall asleep at night a few nights we were there because there was no sound buffer.
