  Those carefully unexplained letters, like the deliberately unsigned hotel door, invite enquiry. What is this secretive but stylish “J K” place? Nothing to do with the lead singer of Jamiroquai, in case you are wondering - though it is equally funky (some would say more so). In fact, the initials are those of the owner’s father, and the place – once you swing open the wide wooden doors – turns out to be a small, smart hotel for Florentine initiates.

  It’s a pleasing combination, that of fashion with friendliness. For all its sleekly-styled rooms and its state-of-the-art technology, the atmosphere is intimate, the staff unfailingly kind. The neutral creams and matt metallics of the bedroom décor contrast with the warm hues of the sitting room and the cosy, vaulted lounge. Even the building itself is part historic palazzo and part modern townhouse, the two halves coming together around a broad lightwell which drops to an airy, glass-covered dining room. It’s a successful synergy which manager Ori Kafri has worked hard to create.

  In the heart of downtown Florence, in Piazza Santa Maria Novella, just a few steps from the Renaissance church bearing the same name, a rare, extraordinary island in the sea of life can be found. JK Place, an absolutely special hotel experience, is hidden away behind a charming door. An elegant habitat that joins atmosphere with scents from the past while at the same time offering precise and decidedly contemporary comfort, JK Place follows a philosophy of hospitality that is truly different, tracing a peculiar microcosm, far from overused clichés and evening routes.

  A real house, with fireplaces aglow, meaningful contemporary flavours and objects deposited over time, with its overlay of happy memories and a soft approach, refined, attentive but never invasive. A long corridor with black wooden flooring gives a sense of unity to the different common areas of the ground floor.

  Exquisitely masculine, British hints, rarefied décor, an understated display, calm and luxurious. There are only 20 rooms. It is immediately clear that this place could never be ordinary, as the sounds of the city fade away and a slower, more thoughtful rhythm prevails.
