The Eliot Hotel

The Eliot Hotel is an all-suite boutique hotel at 370 Commonwealth Avenue, on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue in Boston's Back Bay, Massachusetts. The setting is residential and leafy, along the tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue Mall, with Hynes Convention Center, Newbury Street, Symphony Hall and the Charles River Esplanade each a short walk or subway ride away. Hynes and Symphony stations provide Green and Orange line connections. The building's early twentieth-century brick architecture gives the hotel a European, townhouse-like feel, and its all-suite format means every guest receives a separate living area rather than a standard room. Nightly rates run roughly $300-600 in US dollars. Listed amenities include a concierge, a fitness center, a restaurant and bar, room service, valet parking and free Wi-Fi. The restaurant is a neighborhood-oriented dining room that suits both hotel guests and local patrons. Service is personal and boutique in scale, appealing to couples, longer-stay visitors and business travelers who want more space than a typical room provides. The Eliot is convenient for visitors to Boston University and Berklee College of Music events, as well as for attendees of conferences at Hynes. Back Bay's grid makes the area easy to navigate on foot, and Commonwealth Avenue is especially attractive in spring when magnolias bloom. Rates and availability tighten during graduation, Marathon weekend and major convention periods, so advance booking is recommended. Valet parking is available, but many guests find the subway more practical.
