Raphael Paris Hotel
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.
Rooms
- 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.
- Junior Suites: The Hotel offers 32 Junior Suites. Using nooks and
alcoves to separate Bedrooms from the rest of the Suite, associating a
serious Empire desk with a stylish and pretty dressing table, the Junior
Suites are simultaneously spacious, comfortable, refined and practical.
- Classic Rooms: A large Bedroom fitted out with a queen bed, 322
sq.ft. (30m²)A Bedroom harmoniously decorated with Louis XV and Louis
XVI authentic furniture, wooden wardrobes and a writing desk. Up to date

Food & Beverages
- 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.
