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.

We paid a premium on the day of a World Cup game. The hotel was fine, but not worth $1400 for one night. The gym is small. The carpet is worn. The room cleanliness was fine and the amenities provided in the shower were only fine. For the price I expected a very premium experience and it was just meh. I have had much nicer experiences at other hotels and paid $1000 less per night. Florian at the front desk was great though.

hotel staff went above and beyond with great service. from a free bottle of wine delivered to our room to the restaurant giving us an apple to staff bringing toothpaste to our room. when i left a hairbrush in the room, they had it in the lobby in less than 15 mins. from checkout so that I didn't end up going home without it. they were wonderful! we plan to be back.

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

The staff is fantastic. The food at the restaurant is excellent. The only drawback I had was that my Jag was parked outside for three days of inclement weather. If you’ve got a great car, you might want to request the fee. Keep it in the parking garage for you.

Perfect Plaza Stay

From the moment we stepped on this property until the moment we left, we were treated like kings and queens. The front desk was exceptional. I believe it was Amy who went way above and beyond every single time we asked. I would stay here again in a heartbeat it’s a beautiful place and the service is beyond five stars.

Pros:
-Location: Across Ward Parkway from the center of the Plaza (Capital Grille).

-Staff: Very friendly and quite accommodating. This is one of the best hotel staffs I’ve encountered! Everyone, and I mean, everyone, greeted you when they crossed your path. From the housekeeping staff, to doormen, to front desk people, to the maintenance man, and even the high school junior, who greeted me at the restaurant door and made conversation, as I waited on a to-go order. And if you needed something . . . anything—it was at your room in a jiffy.

-You can self-park for $5 less than valet, per day, and the lot is right behind the hotel. It’s worth it to self park.

-The building is old, but that is part of its charm. Elevators are small, but there are four of them, and the rooms themselves are well-kept and updated.

-Room-darkening curtains make it extra dark at night—a plus for a good night’s sleep.

Did I mention the staff? Extraordinary!

Cons:
One regret—in trying to save a buck, we got the smallest of the rooms, which is still more spacious than your average hotel room (it’s a small studio suite). The bathroom area was tight, though, and that was the main drawback.
It’s a pretty penny to stay in this place, period, but if we could do it over again, we’d book the larger room.

We wanted to find a cool and unique hotel for a night as we traveled through to Colorado. This was exactly what we hoped for. My 4 young children were impressed and had the time of their lives. The access to the park and restaurants made it ideal. We were treated like royalty!

Historic plaza building lives on

The overall stay was ok. Management was attentive and the facility as a whole well cared for in a historic building.. There was an unexpected disturbing issue with the cleanliness of the bedding which management quickly addressed. The rest of the stay went well. Perhaps just an isolated incident. .

The hotel overall is a wonderful location and beautifully decorated.

Unfortunately, I had a gift bag that had been given to me and was in the room and the cleaning team threw it away. When I spoke to the front desk about it, they told me they would ship it to me at my expense if they found it and that they would call after looking for it. I waited for them to speak with staff and look for it and when I left the hotel, they told me they would call with an update. I never heard from them.

It’s shocking that a hotel of this stature with throw away your personal items and treat it as a small issue.

Spacious rooms. From the bellman to the valet top notch. Only issue was our room wasn’t ready and was told we would get a call when it was and our luggage would be sent to our room. When we got there looks like there was a different front desk person and our things were still sitting in the lobby. They redeemed themselves with an amazing room service breakfast. Best Eggs Benedict if ever had. Plus the bar in the restaurant had top notch service.

Will not be back.

We came to celebrate our one-year anniversary and I had been working closely with the hotel to arrange a special package for this occasion. I contacted the hotel several times before our stay, both through phone calls and emails, and even made an in-person visit on the day of our arrival to confirm that everything was in order. Upon checking in, I once again confirmed with the front desk that our room was ready and prepared as planned. Initially, the staff member indicated that it didn’t seem ready, but then she changed her mind and said it was.
However, when we arrived at our room, I immediately knew something was wrong. The atmosphere was supposed to be enhanced by music, but there was none. As I stepped inside, I was devastated to find that none of the arrangements I had meticulously planned with the hotel were in place. There were no rose petals, no toast (not the food kind), and no music—absolutely nothing. This was supposed to be a memorable celebration for my partner and me at The Raphael, in a top-floor king suite, and instead, it became a painful disappointment.
The lack of attention to detail ruined what was meant to be a special moment, and I found myself in tears, while my partner tried to console me. While minor mishaps can happen, completely overlooking every aspect of our celebration is entirely unacceptable. As a result, neither of us plans to return. This experience has left us frustrated and heartbroken.
