"Set the scene for us—will we be wowed?Even before you step inside, it's not hard to tell that The Eliot is a deeply elegant hotel—the neo-Georgian building it's housed in was built in 1925. That sense of grandeur continues into the vaulted, marble-filled lobby, which feels like a throwback to another era. The property is opulent without being imposing, and decadent without being impersonal. Who else is staying here?The prime location, graceful digs, and services like free overnight shoe shines make The Eliot a hit with business travelers. Tell us about the digs.With only 95 rooms, most of which are suites, the Eliot never feels too busy or commercial. Rooms are tastefully outfitted with Italian marble, beautiful toile fabrics, and stately beds topped with fluffy pillows. Modern amenities keep The Eliot from feeling dated: flat-screen TVs in every room, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, and so on. What's there to eat?The Eliot is home to Uni, one of the best Japanese restaurants in Boston. For room service, you can order sushi, sashimi, izakaya small plates, and American classics like burgers and club sandwiches. Tell us a little about the staff—anyone you'd give an award to, if you could?The valets. They navigate busy Commonwealth Avenue deftly collect your bags, usher you inside, and whisk away your car to the garage. What else should we know in advance?While there isn't a gym on-site, all guests receive complimentary passes to the Boston Sports Club around the corner. Amenities like digital access to the New York Times, a business center, a boardroom, dry-cleaning, and in-house pressing will appeal to business travelers. Bottom line: Why are we booking here?The Eliot offers an exceptional location and a level of service that even the big hotel chains struggle to deliver. For an old-world feel and top-notch experience, this can't be beat." - Todd Plummer
