“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.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.
