Concierge.com's insider take:

In Back Bay, convenient to Fenway, Symphony Hall, Newbury Street, and especially the Harvard Club, which is next door, the neo-Georgian Eliot is named after Harvard President (1869–1909) Charles Eliot, even though he didn't live to see the building finished. Still belonging to the family that bought it during the Depression, the place goes for traditional comfort with either taupe toile and frills or raw brown silk accented by leopard prints, and framed prints in its suites—yes, suites—there are 79 of them, plus only 16 rooms. The hotel is distinguished by its world-class restaurant, Clio, and its sashimi bar, Uni, plus its uncommon kid-friendliness: Under-18s share your room free, in a crib if required, and there's babysitting on demand (for a fee).

From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:
This 1925 Back Bay hotel with a neo-Georgian exterior is "elegant without being stuffy." Served in an ambience resembling a 1920s Parisian supper club, the French-Asian cuisine at Clio "does the trick." Staff provide "highly personal attention"; accommodations in toile or silk create an "old-world feel."

Disappointment

Don't believe the "reputation" . Very disappointing. Unfriendly, arrogant, small rooms, poor service despite the pretty exterior image of the hotel.... more
