My husband and I spent one night at The Raphael in celebration of my birthday. It was absolutely delightful! We had a King junior suite which was very comfortable and roomy. From the minute we entered the hotel we were made to feel welcome. All of the staff was friendly, responsive and professional. We were particularly impressed with the reservations manager, Sara Henricks. I had one slight billing issue and she was right on top of things and resolved the issue at once. The hotel itself is Historic and has great charm. The restaurant at the hotel is Chaz and we had a delightful dinner while listening to live music. We will return

What a fantastic hotel! There service is extraordinary! We had a suite overlooking the Plaza. Beautifully furnished and great accommodations! Their customer service is exemplary. This is probably the best "boutique" type hotel we have ever stayed in, in all of our travels. Walking distance to the Country Club Plaza shops & restaurants. Their (covid) sanitation practices are wonderful.

Checked into this beautiful hotel a few hours ago. I checked in via the App and was promptly given an upgrade to a Queen /Queen Suite Room. I did decide to stop by the front desk to pick up physical keys rather than trying the mobile key. Everyone was masked in the lobby and plenty of hand sanitizer. Checkin was a breeze. Offered extra water bottle to take to the room. Lady at the desk was a pleasure. Our room was a gorgeous 2 room suite on the 7th floor with a partial Plaza View. Bathroom has a very nice dressing area with plenty of room for toiletries. Plan to enjoy cocktails at the Chaz tonight. Will write a separate review. So far everything has been perfect. We have stayed here before 3 years ago and are happy to report everything is just as lovely as last time. One change I noticed from last visit was that Marriott Gold member no longer receive free breakfast. …
