    Don't miss the Raphael during the holidays
    The Raphael is wonderfully located just off the Country Club plaza and offers a wonderful respite to whatever activities you are doing. Our absolute favorite room is the Presidential Suite because it has an entire room dedicated to a large soaking tub with television. It is so…

    What a GREAT Visit !!
    We looked at several hotels before selecting one for our first visit to the Kansas City area. The Rafael won out and after staying there, we were very glad we made this choice. The staff was very accomodating, the room was large, quiet, had a great view overlooking the Plaza and…

    As a Gold member, would you choose the in-room breakfast or have breakfast in the restaurant? In-room seems unique but reviews suggest restaurant is good.
    So for the delay; I opted for the points option (750) and ate out. But, the meals I have had in the restaurant have been excellent!

    Starlight theatre is pretty far from the hotel- I doubt they offer this

    "Presidential Suite with large soaking tub"
    "Rooms overlooking the plaza have the best view and were quietest"
    "I stayed in a suite with a living room, and bedroom. It was great because I could put my daughter to bed. We had a great view of the city."
    "Ask for a view of the Plaza, especially during the holidays."
    "Ask for the side looking out over The Plaza. The Christmas lights are very nice and the summer music on the front lawn is very nice."
