The Hotel’s Window

Among the most prestigious addresses in the verdant western side of Paris, right at the heart of the refined 16th district and only a stone’s throw from Arc de Triomphe, the Hotel Raphael is a time capsule that encompasses what most travelers dream of encountering when visiting the city: a genuine feeling of belonging to a place that combines romance and charm like no other. Of course, the frame-worthy hotel vistas of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe play a pivotal role in delivering such an enriching and memorable experience.

Hotel RAPHAEL

Insider’s Knowledge

As we passed by Place du Trocadèro, leaving behind a majestic sight of the Eiffel Tower, and were driven along the prestigious Avenue Kléber, the excitement of resting our bags at one of Paris’ most emblematic five-star hotels was building up. Upon arriving, the graceful staff promptly lodged us in one of the hotel’s rooftop suites, where a plate of traditional macarons awaited us. Delicious as they were, our full attention was quickly captured by the sight of our very special neighbor for the next couple of nights, the scintillating Eiffel Tower. Indeed, this isn’t the only hotel in the city offering fabulous views of the Iron Lady. Still, the Hotel Raphael belongs to the strict list of properties where guests get to experience the landmark in great proximity and privacy - in our case, from a generous-sized rooftop terrace.

RAPHAEL’s Location

The Raphael is among the finest addresses in Paris’ 16th arrondissement, only moments away from the Arc de Triomphe and the city’s most celebrated avenue, the Champs-Élysées. The impeccable designer shops of the 8th arrondissement, sprinkled between Avenue George V and Avenue Montaigne, are a pleasant 10-minute stroll away from the hotel. For those interested in enjoying Paris’ cleanest air, the nearby spectacular Bois de Bologne, home to Fondation Louis Vuitton, is a quintessential experience.
