J.K. Hotels are famous for their chic modern decor and high-touch personalized guest service. With outposts in Rome, Florence and Capri, we were chomping at the bit to see their most recent unveiling, this time in Paris. We asked General Manager and friend of Mapps, Riccardo Ortogni to take us inside.
ACCOMODATIONS
ROOMS: 29 including suites, all individually styled with Italian furnishings and Parisian accents.
RICCARDO’S FAVORITE: “The J.K. Signature Suite, my favourite Suite in Paris, we have only one and it is nearly 90sqm. It was designed personally by Michele Bonan with pieces of furniture from the Flea Market in Paris. The room features a stunning bathroom with a huge and sexy shower and a fireplace (not usable). Furthermore the living room and the bedroom are separated by a unique cube of bronze made by an artisan in Tuscany, that is a walk-in cabinet. I love this beautiful "apartment" for a long stay, fantastic for a couple but suitable also for families with 1 or 2 small kids as the sofa turns into a comfortable bed.”
DINING
With successful stints in both Miami and Aspen, it was time to go global. Casa Tua ( a MAPPS fav ) opened its first international location at J.K. Place Paris. Nestled on the ground floor of the hotel, the restaurant features it's signature open-air kitchen and serve delicious Italian cuisine and fine wine.
THE LOUNGE BAR
