The Raphael Hotel is the Plaza's only boutique hotel. That makes its ground-level Chaz on the Plaza, a quirky, inimitable lounge. Live music in the small enclave ranges from jazz to easy listening to blues that can distract patrons from the odd murals and uncomfortable florescent light that bounces off of the low ceilings and the hanging glasses surrounding the bar. Chaz is less costly and more inviting than its Ward Parkway neighbor, the InterContinental Hotel’s Oak Room (though truly better atmosphere can be found across Brush Creek, in the Plaza proper).
