Historic jail turned luxury hotel with chic rooms
"A weekend curling experience for groups of two to six turns the hotel’s setup into a synthetic, broom-free rink that feels more like oversized shuffleboard: you kneel at center and slide smaller-than-regulation stones toward the target. The session comes with a box of treats—cinnamon-dusted churros, homemade strawberry Pop-Tarts, Korean chili chicken sliders, crispy pork and ginger dumplings—and a carafe of hot chocolate, with “après-curl” continuing in the cozy lounge." - Madeline Bilis
"New and nearby for this year, this hotel just across the street from the Esplanade will be open to the public, with fireworks visible from the fourth-floor balcony catwalks that line the hotel’s cavernous lobby." - Todd Plummer
"Housed in the former Charles Street Jail, The Liberty Hotel blends original jailhouse architecture—wrought ironwork and windows—with modern touches, creating a uniquely memorable stay; its popular bars and lounges can make the hotel feel crowded at times. I found multiple dining options including the fashionable Liberty Bar, the seafood-forward Clink, and Scampo, which is celebrated for some of the best Italian food in Boston." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

"A historic hotel and must-visit holiday attraction, known for its upside-down Christmas tree installation in the lobby." - Hannah Selinger
"Set in a converted 1851 jail, this Beacon Hill hotel turns its penitentiary past into a playful theme: guest rooms display framed cell keys and tally-mark pillows, and six restaurants and bars nod to the building’s history. Dining and drinking lean into the concept—Clink is a seafood spot with tables separated by prison cell doors, and Catwalk is a cocktail bar on the original jail catwalk—creating a memorable, theatrical overnight experience." - Bailey Berg, Laura Dannen Redman
