We often try to stay at Autograph Collection hotels when we travel. I’ve always been impressed with the accommodations, cleanliness and service. The Raphael did not come close to what I’ve come to expect from an Autograph Collection hotel. While the staff was courteous, the accommodations were mediocre and cleanliness was questionable - both in the hotel and in the restaurant. This was especially surprising because The Raphael was one of the more expensive Autograph Collection hotels we’ve visited in the Midwest.
Great room friendly service wonderful views and good food. Special week end could not have been better. Recommend this hotel to everyone wanting a life memory.

Very friendly staff. Great view of the Plaza lights from our room.
From Amy at the front desk to our amazing, clean and very nicely decorated, two room suite, we can not say enough great things about this awesome hotel.
The Chaz Steakhouse downstairs did not disappoint either….. We enjoyed a delicious meal, with great live entertainment!

The staff took wonderful care of us!! Wine, goodies, and lovely card were delivered to us after we enjoyed a drink at Chaz. Plus a wonderful complimentary breakfast!!
Absolutely love Raphael! Cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff. Above and beyond to make our stay absolutely marvelous. Chaz is a MUST. Our dinner and wine were perfect. Plus live music ❤️
Everything clean. Staff generally friendly but desk people need to greet whenever someone comes in and doormen need to open doors each time. Older doorman was great. Bartender is Richard excellent. Lots to do nearby

Staff was incredibly kind and helpful when we had issues with the hot water. Location was perfect for lights on the plaza.
The staff members were amazingly helpful and the hotel was beautiful with a unique charm. I enjoyed every minute of my stay there and highly recommend it for anyone visiting the KC area.
