I simply cannot rave about The Raphael Hotel, Kansas City enough to communicate all that they did during my 8 day stay. EVERY staff member (and I mean every) regardless of position, went out of their way to be pleasant, helpful, and anticipatory. Food at their restaurant is creative and of excellent quality; locals dine there as a destination. Nightly light jazz in the lounge is a relaxing treat. The hotel ventilation system scented the public space with a delightful, light scent that was a welcome each time I moved in, out, or around the hotel. Bed supremely soft. Bathrooms scrubbed to perfection. Kudos to Tracee at the front desk, and Rick in guest services, for their kindness and care. I know where I'll stay on my next trip to KC!
