Entering Hotel Raphael one discovers the atmosphere of a private club. Walnut paneling and generous seating areas line the wide gallery, hung with art and carpeted with Oriental rugs. Rococo describes the ambience of the high-ceilinged guest rooms, furnished with Regency, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Empire, and Directoire antiques, yet thoughtfully appointed with satellite television, direct-dial telephone with voice mail and modem port. Within the sight of the Arc de Triomphe, and near the Avenue Champs-Elysées and the elegant Avenue Foch, Hotel Raphael is a blend of opulence and discretion.

The discreet elegance of La Salle à Manger is the perfect setting for the innovative creations of Chef Philip Delahaye. Sink into the comfort of a velvet-covered sofa, and relax over cocktails in the English Bar. All day long, from May to September, enjoy buffets and cocktails on the rooftop terrace, with panoramic views of Paris. Le 17, a cosy restaurant, offering light and French cuisine, is opened daily from breakfast to dinner.
