Raphael Hotel - Property information

What to expect: “Shopaholics” and sightseers looking to avoid the Michigan Avenue chain hotels are drawn to this small, red-brick hotel built in the 1920s as a dormitory for nurses. A red canopy hangs over the entrance, which leads to a small, high-ceilinged lobby with wood beams, a wrought-iron chandelier, large arched windows, lots of natural light, upholstered furniture, and tables topped with fresh flowers.
• Amenity highlights: Guests of the 17-story Raphael can walk 2.5 blocks to its companion property, the Tremont, for massage treatments and use of a small fitness room with a stair climber, exercise bike, treadmill, and sauna. The Raphael’s front desk staff can book restaurant tables for guests, or point the way to local shops and attractions.
