The Raphael was a treat venue for a small company meeting that I attended. The rooms were spacious & well-appointed. The staff was among the best I have experienced. Wireless internet was fast. New flat screen TV's gave a great viewing experience. The catered light evening meal & the breakfast were both good, but I don't think they were indicative... More

Couldn't help but feel like I was getting ripped off. The hotel is gorgeous and Valentines day was alot of fun, but the view I had was of the parking lot. After staying at the Q hotel and spa it seemed like alot better value. Also the construction outside my window woke me up in the morning. More

When I arrived at the Raphael, they had no record of my prepaid reservation! Once I produced the proof of booking it appeared that a recent system upgrade had seen my reservation disappear into the ether! Not a problem for the Raphael, and I was soon checked in to a beautiful 1 bedroom suite with a view over the Plaza... More

I had a king suite overlooking the Plaza. Absolutely gorgeous and the best and friendliest service anywhere!! Love the doormen, wait staff in restaurant, front desk. More

We stayed in a presidential suite for one night for our anniversary. The room was very nice and clean. Separate bedroom, bath, huge tub with tv, and living area with table. Located right along country club plaza. Staff was very friendly with good service. Free valet parking. We thought this hotel was much better in quality and value than the... More

If you're visiting the Country Club Plaza shopping district this is one of the best locations to stay. This is my first time back in several years and they have definitely made many renovations. It's always been a charming hotel but the room updates have been excellent. We stayed in a suite that had ample space in the living and... More

We have been coming to the Raphael for about 15 years. It’s the boutique hotel standard against which I measure all other hotels. We were there on a weekend in January because we had a Marriott coupon we needed to use before it expired. Due to the cold weather, we hung out in Chaz quite a bit – jazz on... More

Overall, this is an excellent hotel and had a great view of the Christmas lights in Country Club Plaza. Two negatives were that our room request (upper floors, away from elevator, and quiet) were not fulfilled at check-in and that the restaurant service for breakfast was lackadaisical. One room we were shown had a very fresh paint smell (it is... More

The Raphael is our favorite place to stay in KC. What has started out to be one night stays turned into 2 and 3 day stays. The Chaz is a great place to eat, drink, and be intertained. First class old grand hotel charm, but totally up to date in technology and facility. The people are what truly makes it... More
