"A striking example of adaptive reuse, this hotel occupies the former Charles Street Jail (built 1851) and pairs historical character with contemporary comforts: a five-story open-plan lobby illuminated by ornate ocular windows and chain-link chandeliers, 298 rooms and suites with a refined aesthetic, and inventive food-and-drink concepts that repurpose the building’s past (Restaurant Clink sits in former cells serving North Atlantic seafood, and the Alibi cocktail bar occupies the old “drunk tank” with authentic bluestone floors and brick walls adorned by large portraits)." - Paul Rubio
