The Eliot Hotel is old school Boston charm found in the heart of the Back Bay. Although it is a smaller boutique hotel, they pay attention to detail and seem to remember every guest. With special accomodations like being able to have your room stocked with wine and treats before you come, to a concierge that will navigate you through Boston like the back of his hand, there is a reason that this hotel has stayed in the top of it's playing field since 1925. Located on Comm. Ave with Ken Oringer's Clio and Uni attached, it is also just a hop, skip, and a jump from tony Newbury Street. The Eliot offers luxurious suites complete with A/C, living room, Italian marble bath, pantry, and mini-bar. Clio, the Eliot's in-house restaurant, has garnered Best of Boston acclaim for its New French cuisine, and now its New Age Uni Sashimi Bar. Deluxe rooms with queen or double bed cost $215-255. Spacious 1-bedroom single suites cost $295-345; for $590-690 they'll open the door into an adjoining bedroom and turn it into a 2-bedroom suite. Reservations accepted a year in advance for Commencement.

Boston's only year-round Hostelling International hostel is just a short walk from Newbury St. Clean, comfortable, and simple rooms (male, female, and coed) have 6 beds each. If for some reason you're shy about sleeping half-naked in a room full of traveling strangers, they also have some private/family rooms from $69/night. Dorms $32-35, non-members pay a $3 fee on top of any rate. Hostelling membership is $28 with a picture ID (open to all ages, not just students). Make reservations ahead (by phone or online). This is a friendly and vibrant business with a mission "to help all, especially the young, gain a greater understanding of the world and its people through hostelling." For 25 years the Boston International Youth Hostel has provided educational and cultural exchange programs to its guests and the community of Boston.
