Raphael Hotel

Voted one of the World's Best Places to Stay by Travel+Leisure, this one of a kind boutique hotel is patterned after Europe's fine small hotels. The Raphael is designed to offer a uniquely Kansas City experience, combining the intimacy and charm of a locally significant landmark with highly individualized service. Originally constructed in 1927 as the Villa Serena Apartments, the building was transformed into The Raphael Hotel in 1975. A multi-year total renovation was concluded to preservation standards in 2009, earning the property a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The Raphael is noted for its portfolio of getaway packages designed to showcase the abundant charms of the hotel and the Country Club Plaza as well as the attractions that make Kansas City such a desirable and unique destination. As an iconic historic hotel affiliated with the Autograph Collection, The Raphael offers Marriott Rewards. The hotel features 88 suites and 38 guest rooms furnished in traditional styles.
