A luxury boutique Hotel in Rome
Piazza Augusto Imperatore, in the heart of Rome, is dedicated to the winner of the extraordinary military campaign in Egypt, which ended with the victory of Actium in 31 BC. and the submission of Cleopatra and Marc Antony. In his honor, the largest known circular sepulcher was built near the Tiber, in the area of Campo Marzio not yet urbanized. In the fifteenth century the area of Campo Marzio, and the ancient Via Lata that crossed it after centuries of complete abandonment, returned to have a central role in the urban planning of the city, thanks to the popes who transferred all the activities of the Carnival and horse racing, hence the current name of Via del Corso which connects Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia. The surrounding neighborhood was demolished to create the square, the churches and numerous noble palaces. In one of these buildings, which in the past housed a school of architecture there is the J.K. Place Roma Hotel, whose classic contemporary style is the result of the work of the Italian architect Michele Bönan, who created welcoming and discreet environments, in which however there is a lively atmosphere. The colors of the rooms are bold and denote personality with rosewood canopies and hand-crafted fabrics, while the bathrooms in Italian marble and crystal shower stalls, the exclusive works of art, recall the elegant past of this glorious palace built in seventeenth century. Twentyseven refined rooms and suites of the hotel which for the third consecutive year has been first in the ranking of the best hotels in Rome, drawn up by Travel + Leisure magazine. Ori Kafri, co-founder of J.K. Place, attributes this success “to the human factor what makes the difference in a luxury hotel ”. Member of the Leading Hotels of the World, the management takes great care of the gastronomic offer, from the buffet breakfast to the menus offered in the vintage-chic setting of the J.K. Cafes, ranging from Italian to international cuisine, enhancing the freshness of seasonal local ingredients.
