This hotel is housed in an ex-prison and they have kept many of the original facades which makes this hotel beautiful, unusual and playful. The rooms are small, but amazing. Our 2 teenagers were with us and even though it was crowded, the furnishings are beautiful, the room cozy, that it didn't matter. The feather down bedding makes for good... More

I booked this hotel as a Xmas gift for my husband (booked the "Truth" package that included breakfast and a signed basketball from Paul Pierce) - and it did not disappoint! Location is great, right off of the red line Charles MGH stop and we easily walked to the TD Bank North Garden. The room service menu was awesome (included... More

Let me start by saying the hotel service was exceptional. Starting from the Bellman, through the front desk, and even during a period, service at the bar was excptional. I have no qualms about recommending the hotel. I know some people like the Back Bay area, this is definitely a bit of a walk to everything, or more like a... More

Booked this hotel a few weeks before travelling to Boston. The hotel was gorgeous, albeit pricey. We were greeted with sparkling wine and very friendly staff. Stayed on the 11th floor and unfortunately had a view of the back of the hospital...which in this case was fine as I didn't spend much time In the room. The lobby is quite... More

We spent 3 days in this hotel and, by chance, we took the Marathon´curfew on April 19th, which is my wife's birthday. Luckily, we were in this charming, gorgeous hotel, with a kind, young and impeccable staff. It is a renovated prison that became a gorgeous boutique hotel. Spacious and comfortable rooms, good value (considering how extorsive Boston is), spectacular... More

We just enjoyed another great stay at The Liberty. It's a beautiful hotel that feels intimate yet metropolitan at the same time. We had a tower room which was very comfortable. The only thing lacking was a view. Great service throughout!

The Liberty is the perfect hotel for a visitor that wants excellent value great, proximity to historic sites and being part of the history of Boston. The Liberty Hotel was a prison in the late 1800's which was renovated and converted into a exceptional hotel. I saw American Idol contestant Angie coming out of the Liberty on television last night... More

The Liberty is a wonderful place to stay in Boston. They have wonderful service, unique atmosphere and the rooms are very restful and quiet despite its busy location. The lobby bars are a hip spot and you will always feel like you are in the middle of the action. It is right across the street from a T stop and... More

Very enjoyable stay in Boston at this very cool hotel. Will absolutely stay there again. The staff was wonderful. The facility is an innovative architecural use of a building formerly used for less enjoyable purposes.
