Tucked away on a quiet cobbled street just off Via Condotti, J.K. Place Roma offers a refined townhouse retreat in the very heart of the Eternal City. Housed within part of the noble seventeenth-century Palazzo Borghese and a former school of architecture, it blends aristocratic Roman heritage with contemporary flair and deeply personalized service. From here, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain are all an easy stroll away, as are Rome’s most coveted designer boutiques and characterful trattorie.
With only around 27 rooms and suites, the hotel feels wonderfully intimate, more like an elegant private home than a city hotel. Interiors by Florentine architect Michele Bönan mix personalized furnishings, rich fabrics and curated artwork to create a warm, residential atmosphere. Rooms range from cozy JKClassic Rooms, ideal for a chic weekend escape, to expansive Grand Deluxe Rooms and Junior Suites with private balconies, perfect for longer stays. Expect king-size beds dressed in fine Italian linens, full marble bathrooms with generous walk-in showers, thoughtful lighting and plentiful wardrobe space. Many accommodations feel like stylish Roman apartments, some with outdoor seating where you can enjoy a quiet aperitivo above the city.?
At the heart of the property is JKCafé Lounge, Bar & Restaurant, an all-day social hub where hotel guests and in-the-know locals gather for leisurely breakfasts, light Mediterranean lunches and relaxed dinners. Classic Italian dishes, seasonal produce and carefully crafted cocktails are served in a series of inviting spaces that flow between lounge, bar and restaurant. There’s no formal spa or large gym, but in-room massages can be arranged, and the concierge team excels at customizing each stay – from private guided tours of ancient Rome and Vatican treasures to countryside day trips and personalized shopping experiences. For travelers seeking an indulgent yet understated base in central Rome, J.K. Place Roma is a sophisticated sanctuary that captures the essence of la dolce vita with ease.
