In a city where history is woven into every street and skyline, a new chapter in hospitality is quietly unfolding. This May, J.K. Place introduces Casa J.K. Place Roma, an intimate collection of private residences designed to blur the line between hotel stay and Roman living.
Set within a beautifully restored 18th-century palazzo on Via dei Prefetti, just moments from the brand’s original Roman address, the new concept reflects a growing shift in travel—one that prioritizes immersion, privacy, and the feeling of truly belonging to a place, rather than simply visiting it.
A New Vision of Hospitality
For more than two decades, J.K. Place has built its reputation on intimate, design-led properties across Rome, Paris, and Capri—each defined by personalized service and the unmistakable aesthetic of Michele Bönan.
With Casa J.K. Place Roma, the brand takes a forward-thinking step, reimagining its signature approach in a residential format. The result is a collection of 12 fully serviced apartments that offer the comfort of a private home alongside the seamless service of a luxury hotel.
Each residence—ranging from one to three bedrooms—is designed for both short stays and extended living, complete with fully equipped kitchens, elegant dining areas, and expansive wardrobes that cater to the rhythms of everyday life.
Interiors That Reflect Timeless Roman Elegance
Inside, the spaces unfold as a study in layered design—where historical character meets contemporary refinement.
Floors of Statuario marble form intricate geometric patterns, while a palette of Pompeian red, celadon green, ivory, and tobacco leaf creates a rich visual dialogue with the building’s original architecture. Salvaged fireplaces and exposed beams add warmth and authenticity, grounding the interiors in a sense of history.
The kitchens and dining areas serve as the heart of each residence, crafted from bronzed steel and Calacatta marble, designed not just for functionality but for gathering. Bathrooms echo this attention to detail, featuring marble showers, sculptural bathtubs in select layouts, and fixtures by Devon & Devon that evoke a subtle Art Deco influence.
Custom furnishings—upholstered in Dedar velvets and accented with chinoiserie-inspired textiles—complete the experience, while lighting designed by Studio Michele Bönan adds depth and atmosphere throughout.
A Courtyard That Feels Like a Hidden World
At the center of Casa J.K. Place Roma lies a quiet courtyard—an unexpected sanctuary within the city.
Here, guests will find Al Ventidue, the residence’s restaurant and social hub. Beneath a luminous glass dome, the space is bathed in natural light that shifts throughout the day, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and theatrical.
A travertine fountain, inspired by classical nymphaeum design, anchors the space, while the menu draws from Italy’s rich culinary heritage—reinterpreting traditional dishes with a contemporary sensibility.
Living Rome, Not Just Visiting It
Location plays a central role in the experience.
Situated in the heart of the city, Casa J.K. Place Roma places guests within walking distance of some of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, including Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Navona, Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain.
Yet despite its central setting, the residence offers a sense of quiet retreat—allowing guests to step away from the city’s pace while remaining deeply connected to it.
A Seamless Blend of Service and Privacy
True to the J.K. Place philosophy, service remains at the core of the experience.
Guests have access to dedicated chefs, butlers, and concierge services, ensuring that every detail—from dining to daily arrangements—is handled with care. A state-of-the-art gym featuring Technogym equipment, a private lounge, and wellness offerings in partnership with Biologique Recherche further enhance the stay.
The approach is effortless rather than overt—luxury that feels intuitive, rather than imposed.
A New Chapter in Urban Luxury
Casa J.K. Place Roma reflects a broader evolution in how people travel.
Today’s discerning guests are increasingly seeking experiences that allow them to engage with a destination on their own terms—spaces that offer both independence and support, privacy and connection.
By combining the intimacy of a private residence with the sophistication of a boutique hotel, J.K. Place has created something that feels both familiar and entirely new.
In a city defined by its past, Casa J.K. Place Roma offers a glimpse into the future of hospitality—one where luxury is not just about where you stay, but how you live while you’re there.
