The Eliot Hotel - Historic Neo-Classical landmark with award-winning Japanese dining and European-style suites in Back Bay
Located at the intersection of Massachusetts and Commonwealth Avenues, this 1925 Neo-Classical Georgian Boston hotel features 95 European-inspired rooms and suites adorned with Italian marble and ikat fabrics. The Eliot Hotel houses UNI, a James Beard award-winning contemporary izakaya by Chef Ken Oringer, serving innovative sashimi, global street food, and craft cocktails. Guest accommodations include soundproofed windows, flat-screen HDTVs with streaming capabilities, minibars, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Spacious one-bedroom suites offer queen-size sleeper sofas and living rooms separated by French doors, while two-bedroom suites feature dual marble bathrooms. The hotel's Back Bay position places guests within 0.5 miles of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Library, Trinity Church, and Copley Square. The Hynes Convention Center subway station stands one block away, with Logan International Airport situated 7 miles from The Eliot.
Pros
Recognition from Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler as among the world's best hotels
Contemporary izakaya UNI ranked among 'Best Restaurants in America' by Zagat
Soundproofed windows that open in all rooms
Walking distance to major cultural landmarks and shopping on Newbury Street
Cons
Only 16 standard rooms available out of 95 total accommodations
Located at busy intersection of two major avenues
“The Eliot Hotel charms with its 1925 origins and attentive staff, particularly noted for exceptional service; rooms are well-appointed, though some bathrooms show their age. Its Back Bay location is ideal for exploring Boston's cultural attractions, especially with the award-winning UNI restaurant right on-site. A solid choice for those appreciating classic elegance with modern conveniences.”

the lack of a dedicated hotel bar was not ideal. the small bar is part of the entrance to the japanese restaurant. it gets very busy in the evenings. it is not very suitable to sit at high tops at the bar.

I appreciated the location. It allowed easy access to many restaurants and shops (all within walking distance). The in-room amenities were also a plus. The room was notably spacious.
I found stains on the carpet which was off-putting. Several outlets did not work properly. The beds felt very uncomfortable and lopsided (I think the rooms need updating).

The premier suite was very spacious. it had a separate living area and a well-equipped kitchenette. the bed was very comfortable. I slept soundly each night.
The bathroom was quite small. It felt cramped with limited counter space. the air conditioning unit made a noticeable noise. It was a bit distracting during the night.
