When Florence\'s J.K. Place decided to open a property in the heart of Roma, they couldn\'t have chosen a better building with its dignified palazzo façade that was once a private school and location within walking distance to Via Condotti and Spanish Steps. The three-property design chain with outposts that include a dazzling property in Capri recruits interior architect Michelle Bonan to duplicate the visual fantasy of modern Italian glamour that mixes antique pieces with a more modern texture of colors, ornate stonework and lux upholstery in occasional giraffe or zebra pattern. The result is a contemporary but old world feel that extends to J.K. Restaurant and Lounge, the main social areas of the hotel that introduces a new continental Italian café and formal eatery to the brand. While the properties lack a proper spa or fitness center, staff can arrange a visit to local gyms as well as dashing local trainers that will have you chasing them through the nearby parks and neighborhood.
The Room
With just 30-rooms, J.K. Place offers the five-star services of a much larger hotel in a removed setting that will likely complete on the level of Rome’s Hotel de Russie with added perks like complimentary mini-bars. Entry-level superior rooms offer canopy beds and veiny marble bathrooms accented in teak floors and decadent showers. Larger junior suites offer separate sitting area and better views while best-of-the-building Master Room Suite feature private living area and soaking tub in the bathroom.
