Independent Report
locationLocated in Bostons Beacon Hill area this hotel is a city landmark. The main building was once the Charles Street jail which has now been transformed into a four start property. On the banks of the Charles River and adjacent to Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Charles River Esplanade, the shopping areas of Charles Street and Newbury Street are within walking distance. Cambridge and the Financial Deistrict are a short subway ride away.
generalThere are many things to do in Boston and this hotel is well situated in the heart of Bostons Beacon Hill neighborhood and is just a few steps away from the Charles River and its Esplanade. The property offers easy access to outdoor recreation, unique shopping, entertainment, downtown and the university and colleges of Boston and Cambridge.
This property is non-smoking (12/07:JB)
lobbyAmong other dramatic features that have been preserved are vestiges of jail cells within the hotel lobby bar and magnificent, oversize windows. There is an original atrium stretching dramatically from the floor of the lobby through to the cupola.
exteriorThe original granite Charles Street Jail building was innovative for its day, comprising a beautiful cruciform-shaped structure complete with a 90-foot central rotunda and cupola built in 1851. Today, through careful planning, this historic building is home to a variety of public spaces linked by historic catwalks. The hotel features a union of historic and contemporary design.
restaurantThere are three distinctive venues for dining and drinks. Hotel guests may have cocktails in the lobby jail bar, regional specialties in the casual second floor hotel restaurant and bar, or Internaitonal cuisine at the fine dining restaurant.
roomsThere are 300 guestrooms, including suites with river views in this newly built/renovated property. The rooms are decorated with contemporary furnishings. Rooms are located in the original building with the majority of rooms located in the new adjoining 16-story tower.
