When to go?

The hotel is open continually, and Florence is a city with something happening at all times of the year. Perhaps the time to avoid is the height of summer (July and August) when it gets very hot and most Tuscan life takes to the hills. Late March, April, September and October are the busiest times. Winter (mid-November to mid-March) is quiet, with just a few ‘indoor tourists’ - art-lovers, fashion buyers, friends and parents of those studying here. Prices are lower during winter and midsummer.

Save to favouritesPrintMailJ K Place FirenzeThose 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're wondering - though it's equally funky (take a look at the glowing pink bar). 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 [r:IT001:rooms] and its state-of-the-art technology, the atmosphere is intimate, the staff unfailingly kind. The soothing 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 2 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.
