The Raphael Hotel, Autograph Collection

We've been staying at the Raphael off and on for years, and it's safe to say, the service and hotel are holding up well. It's always solid and reliable. This month's stay was no exception with a special highlight for the folks in Chaz. When we arrived, the drive, valet and lobby were slammed, but all the available team members jumped in to keep the flow of guests moving and acknowledged. Everyone was super friendly and worked efficiently through the waiting guests. Our connecting suite was spacious and clean, perfect for our family. Love these showers! Dinner and snacks in Chaz were really great and the service was friendly and efficient. There are many places to eat on The Plaza, but don't skip out on Chaz!

Thanksgiving at The Raphael Hotel was simply amazing!! Our suite was spacious and comfortable!! We loved the walk-in shower and the jetted tub!! The bedding was luxurious and I slept like a baby!! We had dinner at Chaz and the service and food is so good!! Drinks in the lobby at check in were excellent!! I enjoyed meeting Kate Porter the events coordinator!! She was so kind and professional!! The Valet and Check-in was also 5 star!! We can’t wait for next year!! Thank you for a magical experience!! We loved all the Christmas decorations!!

The staff here are great- from the front door people to reception--it snowed quite a bit today and the staff was out there shoveling and salting the street, and doing what they could in the garage. Its an excellent team. the hotel itself is a little odd--my room was very big (a suite) and perfectly comfortable (especially the incredible bed), but its as if someone froze the whole place in 1995. Very old fashioned decor, an old toilet and tub. Even the physical building is red brick from another era. All fine, but caught between classic and modern. Still, easy parking and pretty area of the city, and i slept well.

Clean, amazing staff!!!

This is my go-to to upscale hotel in Kansas City. Fantastic unique autograph collection property, charm, well appointed rooms, and the restaurant/lounge like no other. I particularly enjoy the food at the lounge at the live quiet music in the evenings. The staff is always friendly.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at The Raphael Hotel! The property is stunning, with a timeless charm and beautiful decor. The staff were all incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We especially enjoyed their fitness center. It was clean, well-equipped, and convenient. But our favorite part was the location. You can’t beat being right next to the Kansas City Plaza! We walked to so many great restaurants and shops, and felt very safe the entire time. It’s also the perfect place to watch a Chiefs football game. The bar was lively, full of energy, and filled with well-mannered fans who made the experience even more fun. We’re already looking forward to coming back on our next trip to Kansas City. Highly recommend The Raphael!

The hotel is beautiful and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. It’s close to the Plaza so you have lots of options to go exploring.
