Built in 1925, the historic Eliot Hotel is located in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. It offers an on-site sashimi bar and elegantly decorated rooms with down comforters and marble bathrooms.

Loved the Eliot hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the location was perfect for our trip to Boston. We had a suite room for 3 of us (my husband, my daughter and myself). It was a great size and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This historic guest house is located in Boston's Back Bay district, only 2 minutes' walk from the Hynes Convention Center and various shops along Newbury Street.

There was a problem with the elevator when we first arrived. The staff was so helpful with delivering our luggage to our room, up the stairs! We also loved learning that the French restaurant recommended by friends was right downstairs!

Very cozy and not luxurious, but great for a single traveler...especially for business. Great location in downtown Bost and helpful/friendly staff. Loved the better-than-usual free coffee machine in the lobby. Also appreciated the refillable water and incidental supply closet

Located in downtown Boston, this luxury hotel is adjacent to the Prudential Center and 1.8 miles from Fenway Park. It features a seasonal rooftop pool and spacious rooms with a 58-inch flat-screen TV....

Amazing hotel apart from the ridiculously racist front of house staff. Incident 1: At first he profiled my colleague and didn’t let him check in. When I walked in with some fancier bags literally 2 hours later no such excuse was given to me that check in is at 4 pm and I was promptly checked in by 2 pm. We were told nothing about the amenities while some of the other guests were given cards and a bunch of details. Ok not a big deal. Incident 2: As I’m going for breakfast on my last morning I mention to the front desk that I might go 10-15 min over the 11 am checkout time. The front desk insisted that the hotel is fully booked out and that I must check out at 11 am (I immediately pulled up booking.com and there were plenty of rooms available for the same day booking start..where I come from the punishment for lying is pretty darn severe but in any case).. I ended up ignoring their silly behaviors and instead checked out by 11.20ish with little to no hassle. Management should train these racist and frankly ridiculous front of house staff!! Caucasians aren’t the only people who can afford to stay in $500 / night hotels yea.. PS: I left the same review on Google reviews too

Boutique Hotel, great customer service, clean, kind, friendly people. Rooms are small…it’s Boston, square footage comes at a premium! Bed was very comfortable! Great location, centrally located to hop on and off the T to get anywhere in the city! Would have been nice to have an outdoor area to sit and have coffee, but overall we would recommend The Boxer!

    It is a beautifully designed hotel with gorgeous decoration and with a very luxurious feel. For business travelers undoubtedly a good choice, as they do not mind getting into the car or cab to go to their business appointments. For tourists, this is in fact not a suitable hotel given its location far away from the city center and not too good public transport connections.

    Their interior design is fantastic, someone put a lot of thought and effort into it. Their staff was also very helpful and friendly. It's quite hard to have a good hotel experience in Boston without paying Boston prices, and with their unusual proposal this is a nice exception.

    It was a fun quirky atmosphere with a great design. It feels like an office building that was converted to a hotel. The receptionists were all very kind and helpful and cheerful. A few funky places to eat around and some nice walks.

    Lovely studio hotel with a tasty arty interior design. The rooms were clean, lovely breakfast each morning but most of all friendly, welcoming and accomodating staff who would go an extra mile to make us feel comfortable! You made us feel very welcomed and relaxed, kids loved the board games selection and the garden/patio area.

    Extraordinary friendly and approachable staff. Small room but with a very smart layout, interior design and a nice view. Very quiet. The lobby/bar/living room downstairs was very comfortable and stylish. The concept is probably, that the room is for sleeping. If you want to hang out, than come down to the bar. There is no pressure to consume there. Very good located We absolutly loved our stay at this hotel. I will definitly book it again and recommend it to friends.
