"A combination of elegance and warmth."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I stayed at the Raphael for an entire week and now would not stay anywhere else in Kansas City. Certain rooms have a wonderful view of the city which adds to the experience. I had breakfast every morning in the restaurant and soon got to know the servers. After breakfast,I worked out in the gym which featured a treadmill, bike, elliptical, rowing machine and free weights. Also provided were cold water, towels and protein bars. There was always several staff members in the lobby to greet you, answer questions or just chat. After a few days, the Raphael felt like home. and the homemade chocolate chip cookies certainly added to that feeling!
