Acclaimed chef José Andrés is known for his inventive take on Spanish cuisine, which he brings to the SLS Hotel's signature restaurant. Here Andrés presents a menu consisting entirely of tapas, divided into traditional flavors (Catalan-style toasted bread with tomato and Jamón Ibérico, or sauteed shrimp with garlic and Basque green peppers) and modern innovations (seared persimmon with Jamón Ibérico, or a Japanese taco with grilled eel, shiso leaf, cucumber, wasabi, and fried pork rinds).

Scampo Boston, MA
The Liberty Hotel is one prison where we'd never want to use our "Get Out of Jail Free" card. This adaptive reuse of the former Charles Street jail is the perfect marriage between historic preservation and hyper-modern design. The intrigue and originality of celebrating Boston's dark side in high style fosters an endless buzz throughout the multi-storied bustling lobby and the hotel's numerous drinking and dining outlets. Where else in the world can you booze it up in the former DUI holding cells or indulge in American cuisine in the vestiges of original cells? Keeping the Jailhouse Rock alive, the Liberty Hotel hosts a full range of weekly social events dubbed "Liberty Affairs," which are now staples in the Boston social scene.
