Location

The Raphael Hotel is remarkably well located, close to the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysees, the Avenue Montaigne, within a few steps of the Avenue Matignon. The Hotel is situated in a green and peaceful environmental.

Food and Beverage

• La Salle a Manger: the Hotel's gourmet Restaurant  is in the image of the Hotel, for it subtly blends the traditional and the modern. The period furniture and crystal chandeliers, wide drapes and high ceilings give an inkling of what is soon to come: duck foie gras, cepe and girolle mushrooms, fine Charolais steaks or lamb from the Limousin region. The menu is built on classical dishes made from the best the French countryside has to offer. Chef Philip Delahave uses this structure as starting point and goes on to renew and enliven the classics with creative touches of his own, just the right amounts of sun-drenched herbs, vegetable stocks and exotic spices. For example, he accompanies his pan-fried bass and crab with an orange and fresh coriander bouillon and uses a bit of lemon rind to enliven the mussels surrounding his sole filets and roasted gambas with taggiasche olives.
• Jardin Plein Ciel in Summer: The atmosphere on the terrace could not be warmer. To be sure, it is an easy place to relax, with its fresh and varied buffet, delicious grilled meats, 360° view of Paris and such a profusion of greenery that you are likely to forget there is a tumultuous city below.
• The Bar: The Bar at the Raphael Hotel is a favourite spot for all sorts of people. Businessman taking a break between meetings can be found sitting next to tea time regulars. The Bar has the a warm woodwork, velvet upholstered armchairs and intimate atmosphere so often associated with upper class British clubs. Yet the drink that makes it famous is neither tea nor sherry, it's the Mojito. Chief Barman Bertrand Merlette can mix white rum and mint just like they do in Havana. But at the Raphael guests drink their Mojitos with decidedly British composure. So much for a rumba.

Room Info

• Exceptional Suites: The Hotel's most beautiful Suites are located on the top floors. These Duplex and Triplex Apartments each have a Terrace with a panoramic view. One looks out over the Arc de Triomphe and another the Eiffel Tower. The most exceptional of the three - the Raphael Suite has a sumptuous decor of 17th century woodwork, stained glass and handmade ceramics that fills three levels, stretching up to the rooftop for a 360° view of Paris from a spacious garden terrace.
• Deluxe Junior Suites: The Raphael was designed at the beginning of the 20th century for well-to-do guests who often brought their families along. That original vocation is still visible today in the Hotel's large Suites with their spacious Living Rooms and Bedrooms. Better yet, vestibules, Halls and connecting doors can be opened or closed to join several Suites and thus create a Private Apartment of nearly 300 m², which is not so much a Hotel as a second home.
