Hepburn supposedly frequented this hotel and she had good taste. We spent 9 days at the Raphael and while the location was not our cup of tea, the hotel was perfect. We spent $495/night for the room with fabulous buffet but without internet. The bathroom was spectacular, the housekeeping impeccable. Really, I do not remember a single staff member who... more

Hotel Raphael is a throwback to a time when smaller "boutique" hotels were housed in old palaces in city centers, with ornate rooms, high ceilings, large marble bathrooms with towel warmers, and staff which is both hospitable and knowledgeable. This hotel is all that, and more... It's located steps from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees. It has... more

We stayed three nights at the Raphael before joining a barge cruise in Burgundy. Our flight arrived early so we were at the Raphael at 8:30 am and our room was not ready. Although check-in time is not until noon, they provided another guest room as a "waiting room" so we could rest and freshen up until our room was... more

We spent 6 nights at the Hotel Raphael in early July 2009 and couldn't have loved it more. The hotel is outstanding from top to bottom. From the room decor to the service professionals to the restaurant to the attention to detail, it's a first rate hotel. The staff even hosted a 4th of July party for the Americans staying... more

The decor and appointments of the hotel are classically adorned and luxurious at every turn. Every detail is a delightful feast for the eyes and no comfort is overlooked here. (Ladies be warned: bring your own after-shampoo... more

The common areas were a little stuffy, but the service was excellent and not too overbearing, including the concierge, who was very helpful. However, I was put in a ground floor room which looked on to a courtyard which was incredibly dark and frankly unacceptable for a hotel of this class. My bathroom had ants, which is hard to believe.... more

We successfully bid on auction for the 6 night package at the Hotel Raphael in Paris. Our suite was beautifully furnished with antiques, dramatic curtains, high ceilings with ornate moldings: it was like staying at Versailles with Louis XIV! The closet in our room was larger than the entire room at some other hotels in Paris. The rooftop patio had... more

Fantastic 5 star hotel and 5 star price! We shelled out for the romance package and although its the same as a months rent for me its TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY!! You can see this hotel in the short film by wes andersons hotel chevlier, its awesome on film and more impressive in person. The staff went above and beyond... more
