The hotel was amazing. They give you an actual key to your room! It was very centrally located to where we wanted to be and we have to acknowledge Jarvis, our doorman! He was so friendly and helpful. He really brightened our day. If we go back to Boston, we’re definitely staying there again

We have been staying at the Lenox for the past 18 yrs for our annual “pilgrimage” to our beloved Boston but had been noticing the Eliot and wanted to try it. We found it to be a much better fit for us, and location is perfectly tucked between Commonwealth & Newberry and our favorite spots. Staff was impeccable, especially housekeeping and those affable doormen. We will be back☺️

The Eliot Hotel has a romantically elegant boutique vibe laced with 100 years of historical significance in our great city of Boston.

Classic medium-sized hotel from the 1920s. Nice, slightly small rooms (but they upgraded me to a suite!!), very comfortable. Very attentive staff. Excellent location in beautiful Back Bay.

The shining star of The Eliot is the staff; they were attentive, kind and authentically present and helpful. In letting them know we were celebrating a milestone anniversary, they upgraded our standard room to suite; the suite was beautifully and elegantly designed, bringing with it a classic old world charm. The location itself has a wonderful restaurant if you’re looking to stay close and otherwise, is a few minute walk from the well renowned Newbury Street with countless shops and eateries. We also enjoyed a show at the Citizens Opera House which was a close drive away. Overall, the Eliot is a great stay in a prime location to enjoy all that Boston has to offer, is well maintained, and housed with a staff who truly want to provide you with a special experience.
