T+L's #1 hotel in Boston (2025) and a CNT perennial — a quiet Back Bay boutique on Commonwealth Avenue where most rooms are suites with Italian marble bathrooms and canopy beds. UNI, the hotel's Japanese izakaya by chef Tony Messina, is named Boston's best restaurant and a James Beard semifinalist. More residential in feel than the larger Back Bay hotels; ideal for guests who want understated luxury with serious food built in.
