Several guesthouses and hotels in the United States are marked by Interesting histories. The Liberty Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts is no exception. It was, for over a century, Charles Street Jail—former home to notorious law-breakers and criminals. But after an elaborate, $150-million, half-a-decade renovation, there now stands a luxury hotel that is drawing local and foreign guests. Boston.com aptly calls the hotel “a new wine in an old bottle” because it retains its jail-like structure that makes for a historic and unique hotel right in the heart of Boston.
