My stay at The Raphael Hotel was good overall! The attentive staff and spacious suite overlooking the Plaza were the highlights, making for a comfortable experience. However, I did encounter some noise issues with the parking area at the back of the hotel. A couple of minor dining missteps also stood out, but I still enjoyed most of the meals. Overall, I'd definitely return! 😊🌟

My stay at The Raphael Hotel was incredibly nice, especially with the romantic atmosphere that made it perfect for my anniversary. The staff went above and beyond, making sure we felt special with thoughtful touches. However, the room size was a bit smaller than I expected for the price, and the showering experience was slightly disrupted by unexpected room access, which detracted from the otherwise luxurious vibe. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for anyone seeking an elegant getaway. 🎉💖

I recently stayed at The Raphael Hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The room was beautifully appointed and cozy, and I really enjoyed the live jazz music at Chaz, where the staff surprised us with a complimentary champagne toast. However, I was let down by the initial challenges in securing answers to my questions prior to booking, and the parking was not as straightforward as I expected. Overall, it was a charming experience but with some areas for improvement.
