JK Place Firenze

JK Place Firenze is located in the peaceful Piazza Santa Maria Novella Square, just a short stroll from the River Arno and the main Piazza della Republica and the Duomo in the centre of Florence.

Each of the 20 rooms and suites at JK Place Firenze is designed in calming, muted colours with views either over the JK private gallery, the Santa Maria Novella square or onto the private roof terrace. Even the Classic rooms have 4 poster beds and all are equipped with LCD TV, DVD player, satellite connection, free WI-FI internet access and complimentary mini-bar. Double Deluxe, Junior Suites and Suites are perfect for families.

Relax in the comfortable armchairs in front of the elaborate neoclassical fireplace in the JK Lounge or sit out in the square and enjoy lunch whilst people watching on the JK Terrace: JK Place Firenze attracts a hip local crowd and an occasional celebrity or two. As the sun sets over Florence, head to the terrace for a rooftop view and an aperitif before dinner.

For art lovers, the Galleria degli Uffizi and Galleria dell’Accademia are a must. Also worth a visit are Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli gardens, not forgetting the magestic Duomo. Once you ascend the numerous steps to take the walkway around the cupola and the narrow corridors to the top, the views over the city are well worth the queues and crowds. Shopping is a pre-requisite and a quality leather handbag is top of the list! After a day’s shopping and sightseeing, enjoy a stroll across the Arno on the Ponte Vecchio browsing all the window-box stalls. A left turn after the bridge is a pleasant walk along beside the river. Just after passing Ponte alle Grazie, why not make a stop of “Negroni” bar on Via dei Renai. As well as being a happy hour hot spot for the chic locals, it is here that the famous Negroni cocktail was invented and where, once you have paid for your drink, you can enjoy the ‘Aperimundo’, a complimentary aperitivo buffet featuring delicious snacks from all over the world.
