Raphael Hotel


This Spanish Renaissance style building was built as an apartment building in 1927.  After complete restoration to maintain its historical character, the Raphael Hotel opened in 1975.  It helped launch the boutique hotel trend.  It has received many awards and is a Marriott Autograph Collection of Independent hotels.  A fabulous restaurant is also within the hotel.
