The man behind the burgeoning brand, Michele Bönan, created the new hotel from - appropriately enough - the old Architectural School of one of the Rome's universities and JK Place Roma showcases the achingly tasteful décor and design details we've become accustomed to at its sister hotels.

On a side street off the bustling Via Condotti and a short walk from the Spanish Steps, JK Place Roma has just 30 rooms ranging from 215 square ft JK Classic rooms to a whopping 540 square ft Master Room. All the rooms have wood panelling and Italian marble bathrooms.

The rooftop JK Café Bar has wonderful views out over the roofs of Rome, and serves up good quality Italian dishes, snacks and evening cocktails.
