  • Fortunately, I have never had to spend a night in jail. If I ever do I hope that it can be the old jail of Boston, Massachusetts. Although our jail in Charlotte is a pretty modern looking building, I would never guessed that the Liberty Hotel was once the Charles Street Jail, had someone not told me. Having learned this little tidbit, I did some research and discovered that from the mid-19th century until 1990, this building was the jail where Boston kept her most prominent criminals, including the very infamous Boston Strangler. Actually, only 18 of its approximately 300 guestrooms are in the former jail. Those 18 are in the granite front part of the hotel. The remainder are in a newly built 16-story tower added to the rear of the old jail.

    The rotunda at the entrance was once the exercise yard for the jail while the bar and one of the two restaurants have various distinct reminders that this was once a jail. The guestrooms are actually very modern with HDTV and VOIP telephonesbut they also have hints of the jail heritage such as bars on the curtains and stripes on the bathrobes. The views of the Charles River, Beacon Hill, and the Boston skyline will definitely make you want to "break-out" and see more of Boston, in fact it would be a crime if you did not.
