JK Place, Florence

I had the opportunity to travel to Italy a few years ago, and am now severely dismayed that while staying there I missed this beautiful hotel. We stayed in a dump while in Florence (as in, they played Akon over the speaker system and something had died in the a/c unit of the room my Mom and I shared). It was sad. And now thanks to Lonny, I find out that I could have been staying here! Sigh... I suppose that means I have to go back. It looks as though JK Place is a treat from the moment you arrive until you step out the door.  Here are some photos to entice you...

One of the several lounges. They don't have a formal restaurant because there are so many wonderful places to eat in Florence.

They encourage guests to eat breakfast and lunch (which are included with every room) in their dining rooms so they can mingle with other guests.

This is the Master Suite, just one of the 20 beautifully decorated bedrooms available.

This bathroom makes up the second floor of the Penthouse. Its large window offers a panoramic view of the Duomo.

I could spend an afternoon on this veranda!

I could go on and on about this hotel! But I'll spare you, and instead direct you to their site, where you must read the descriptions of their room packages (one includes a trip to a local market with a gourmet chef!). Put in a random date and tell it to check accommodations. It will give you a list of rooms and packages. 

Ciao!
