Fodor's Review:

The luxury of this plush boutique hotel extends from the split-level marble lobby with its vast chandelier to the taupe-toile- or chocolate-silk-accented rooms, each with an Italian marble bathroom and two televisions. The majority of the rooms are one- or two-bedroom suites; all have marble-topped bar areas (with sink). The award-winning Clio restaurant, helmed by rising star-chef Ken Oringer, garners raves for its contemporary French-American cuisine. Or you can dine at the Uni Sashimi Bar, a less-expensive option. The Eliot is close to Newbury Street and a short walk from Kenmore Square. Fenway Park is within walking distance as well. A sweet perk for fitness buffs: free passes to the nearby Boston Sports Club. This property has popped up on several "best" lists lately, but there are a couple of caveats. Readers warn that rooms near elevators are noisy, and complain of lapses in service. Pros: Good location, great restaurants, pet-friendly. Cons: Very small bathrooms, elevator noise, lapses in service by young staff.
