#The Liberty, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Boston Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
This time I decided to go to a "bad" place to feel a wave of ~ Boston Freedom Hotel was once a prison in Charles Street, in the 140 years before being converted into a hotel, has held some of the most notorious criminals in Boston history. Later, based on the experience of the prison, the hotel gave modern talent. Sitting in the iron cage, drinking red wine, eating breakfast, this life can experience a "prison life", capitalizing happy face!

From Jailhouse to Luxury Haven: The Liberty Hotel
Imagine staying at… a jail! 😯
For nearly 150 years, the tall granite building at 215 Charles Street was known as the Charles Street Jail and housed some of Boston's most heinous criminals.
Now it is @liberty_hotel – a unique luxury property with a hip atmosphere and a playful design that honors the building’s rich history.
A lot of details stayed the same, but at the same time the rooms and restaurants are very stylish and comfy. Btw! Every week you can join a free guided tour around the hotel.
I should confess that it was one of the most unique hotels I have ever stayed!
