“A Great Hotel on the Plaza”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 29, 2013

Stayed at the Raphael for the first time this weekend. Have prior been staying up the hill on the other side of the Plaza at the Marriott Residence Inn. Both are ultra-convenient to the Plaza but the Raphael now gets my vote as the place to stay while in KC. Elegant historic room. The attention to detail is apparent everywhere... More

“Lovely hotel, but skip the restaurant.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 15, 2013

We have stayed here over 20 years and many different flags. Marriott has done well, freshening the lobby with very chic furnishings. The front desk staff was stellar. Breakfast was such a disappointment both in quality and service. The bar is worth a Pre-bedtime cocktail, but that is all the time we care to spend in the restaurant. Make sure... More

“Great Alternative”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

Great location on the Country Club Plaza. Newly redecorated--a boutique hotel. We had a nice one bedroom suite. Cozy restaurant with good food. Parking can be an issue if it is snowing and the hotel is crowded but valet parking is offered.
