BOSTON - The elegant iron-railing balconies were once catwalks where guards stood watch over the inmates to make sure they didn't try to break out.
At the newly opened Liberty Hotel, it's hard to escape what this building once was: a decrepit jail where Boston locked up its most notorious prisoners.
But that's just the point.
After a five-year, $150 million renovation,the old Charles Street jail is now a luxury hotel for guests who can afford to pay anywhere from $319 a night for the lowest-priced room to $5,500 for the presidential suite. The hotel, at the foot of Boston's stately Beacon Hill neighborhood, opened in September.
So everything can be a business.......

Hope the hotel is not going to be a jail for those who leave homes and stay in hotel.
Incidently, there are lovely palaces in Mysore,150 kms from Bangalore and those palaces are now turned into star hotels. In fact the hotel premises is so good, many cinema producers use this for shoting their films.

yep if you have some money you can turn every place in something beautiful.For example in desert they built a water park......so if you have enough money you can do impossible things.
