About
The Eliot Hotel is a Neo-Classical Georgian building on Commonwealth Avenue, opened in 1925, with 95 rooms and suites. It is small enough to feel like a residence on the avenue rather than a big-city hotel, and its suites are laid out for real stays: a living room closed off from the bedroom by double French doors, and a sleeper sofa for a child or a friend.
It suits families who want a suite without leaving Back Bay, couples who like a quiet address, and anyone with a dog, since pets of any size are welcome. The hotel sits at the western end of Back Bay, one block from Hynes Convention Center station on the Green Line and one block from the No. 1 bus to Harvard Square in Cambridge, which makes both conference days and a Fenway Park game easy without a car.
Rooms and suites
Deluxe rooms have one queen or two double beds. One-bedroom suites add a living room with a queen sleeper sofa, and two-bedroom suites have two bedrooms and two marble bathrooms, which is the family option. Every room has an Italian marble bathroom, bathrobes and soundproofed windows that open, and shoes left out overnight come back shined at no charge.
Dogs and practical details
Pets need to be mentioned at booking, must be crated when left alone in the room, and housekeeping is skipped while they are there. Parking is valet only, with no in-and-out privileges, so plan to leave the car for the stay. There is room service, same-day laundry and dry cleaning, and a small business center behind the front desk.
Behind the scenes the hotel has switched to LED lighting and low-flow plumbing, recycles paper products and lets guests skip daily linen changes.
Restaurant
Uni is a contemporary izakaya on the hotel's ground floor, with its own entrance at 370A Commonwealth Avenue. It is run by chef Ken Oringer with chef David Bazirgan, and it serves a tasting menu and an à la carte menu every night, plus a weeknight prix fixe in the Uni Lounge. It opens for dinner only; book online through its website or by phone. A 14-seat communal table and private rooms handle groups.
