HOURS: Mon.–Sat. 9:30 a.m.–7 p.m., Sun. noon–6 p.m.
Somewhere between the over-the-top elegance of the Shops at the Bellevue [2] and the down-and-sometimes-a-little-dirty Gallery [3], the Shops at Liberty Place offer yet another indoor urban mall experience.
A central atrium is covered by a domed-glass ceiling and several hallways of shops lead toward the street in different directions, occupying two entire floors of a full city block. Above it are endless floors of offices, making the food court a popular stop for the downtown business set at lunchtime.
You’ll find chain clothing stores including Express, J. Crew, and Victoria’s Secret, as well as health and beauty brands Aveda, Crabtree & Evelyn, and The Body Shop, along with shoe stores Nine West, Aldo, and Bellini. You’ll also find Borders, Sunglass Hut, Godiva, and an upscale men’s hairstylist, Style of Man.
