PB hotel design editorial

Completed in 1851 by architect Gridley James Fox Bryant, the Charles Street Jail on Boston's Beacon Hill was considered a model of enlightened incarceration — a granite Italianate structure whose octagonal rotunda and radiating cellblocks embodied the reformist ideals of its era. When Architectural Resources Cambridge transformed the building into The Liberty Hotel in 2007, the $150 million conversion preserved that original granite facade with its arched fenestration and rose window above the entrance, adding a fourteen-story contemporary tower behind without disturbing the jail's civic gravitas. The 298-room property carries its institutional bones openly rather than concealing them. That honesty extends inward: the bar named Clink retains original brick archways and iron cell bars, candle-lit banquettes set against masonry that held some of Boston's most notorious inmates for over a century. The rooms in the historic wing look directly onto the granite courtyard walls — as visible in the images, some guests wake to the sight of original cell apertures framed in stone. Interiors designed by Cheryl Rowley deploy a palette of deep navy, charcoal herringbone wallcovering, and custom key-and-lock motifs woven into the carpets, nudging the carceral theme into something wry rather than gimmicky. Brass-trimmed dark wood furniture and tufted leather seating throughout the lobby bar ground the conversion in a register that acknowledges the building's weight without being crushed by it.

"Still my favorite hotel! Spent 3 days enjoying the Boston West End. Great room looking over the Charles River, wonderful / courteous staff, and great food! Historic tour of the hotel with Mirko was a highlight. Be sure to look him up when you visit!"

"I wanted to take a moment to share what an incredible experience I had working with Mirko. I was planning a surprise 50th birthday celebration for my mom from Italy, which could have easily been complicated because of the distance and time difference. Mirko made the entire process completely seamless. From helping coordinate and organize the room for 24 guests, to arranging a beautiful digital frame gift and uploading hundreds of photos I sent him, he handled every detail with such care and professionalism. Because I was coordinating everything from Italy, I often had to text Mirko on his personal cell phone at odd hours due to the time change. Not once did he make it seem like an inconvenience. He was always responsive, personable, and incredibly helpful. He even helped me coordinate the message that appeared during the celebration, which ended up being one of the most meaningful moments of the evening for my mom. She said it was truly one of the top three moments of her life. Planning such an important event from another country could have been stressful, but Mirko made the entire experience smooth, thoughtful, and truly special. I just wanted you to know how exceptional he was and how much his effort meant to our family. I will absolutely be leaving a wonderful review and look forward to returning for many future events. Thank you again for such a memorable experience. Warmly, Olivia"

"We held a nonprofit fundraiser at the Liberty Hotel Boston for 185 people up on the top floor catwalk. The experience was magnificent! The space is unique and attracted a sell-out crowd. Heavy passed appetizers, an antipasto table, and dessert fondue rounded out the food program with strategically placed open bars. Because of the quality of the food and superior service, we will plan do hold this event again at this location."
