Eliot Hotel Parking

Although the Eliot Hotel does not have its own parking garage, valet service is fast and efficient. 

If you don't need in/out privileges, you may be able to find cheaper rates at a nearby garage where you can leave your car.  Drop off your bags at the hotel (give them a call if you need help with your bags) and then head to the garage.

The cheapest parking for weekends and nights is at Boston Common Garage (10-12 minute walk, unless you linger as you walk through the Public Garden, which is easy to do).  Validated parking, which gives you a small discount, may be available at the 100 Clarendon Street Garage (5-6 minute walk).  Closest but most expensive is at the Prudential Garage (use the Exeter Street entrance and park as close to it as possible for a 4-5 minute walk).

A better (and cheaper) option is to not bring your car at all, if possible.
