J.K. Place Firenze is located a stone’s throw from the Renaissance church of Santa Maria Novella in central Florence. The hotel opened in 2003 and has with its 20 luxurious rooms everything for those who want a vacation with high quality and stylish furnishing. Lounges furnished with cosy couches, art and books convey the feeling of being on a visit to someone’s beautiful home.

The Boutique Hotel is hidden behind a charming door and has a rooftop terrace with a view over Florence’s rooftops. Some of the Suites at J.K. Place have walk-in closets, sitting rooms and private balconies. glass covered courtyard and roof terrace beckon on warmer days whilst winter afternoons are best spent huddled by the fireplace in the J.K Lounge with a thick slice of cake and a steaming hot cioccolata con panna. Add very friendly, discreet service plus probably the city’s best Concierge and you are just asking for a good time!

J.K. Place Firenze is more like a sophisticated home than a hotel, with working fireplaces, antiques and collectables reminiscent of the items a family would accumulate over several generations. The Chinese prints, brass-framed photographs, neo-classical furniture and lamps from the 50s and 60s fit perfectly with the sleek masculine soft-coloured décor.

J.K. Lounge is a kind of multifaceted and charming club which attracts a cross range of society, from businessmen to ineffable beauties, glamorous international stars and elegantly dressed local ladies. One can stop by for a quick luncheon, take tea in the afternoon, or enjoy the decadent pleasures of an aperitif followed by a delightful dinner. Quite often many choose to reserve the Lounge for a private dinner evening, or a working lunch, as well as for celebrating a special birthday in the magical “townhouse” atmosphere…..

A former residence set along the Piazza Santa Maria Novella, J.K. Place Firenze is a precious gem in this city of treasures. You’ll feel an intimate, homey ambience throughout this 20-room boutique hotel, which mixes decor and fixtures from different eras. The cozy salon, for example, features a Charles X fireplace, traditional furnishings and cashmere throws along with 1950s light fixtures, art deco animal-print ottomans, and a Zairean tribesman’s headdress. Share adventures over breakfast at the huge communal table, and soak in the vistas from the teak-floored rooftop terrace.

Rooms 6 and 12 offer awe-inspiring views of the Church of Santa Maria Novella’s candy-colored, Alberti-designed facade.Distance from Florence Airport (FLR): 15 minutes
