"Could this be designer Michele Bönan’s finest hour? The Florentine interiors guru has always gone the extra mile in his work for Italian-Israeli hotelier Ori Kafri’s J.K. Place stable, which launched in 2003 with the much-imitated J.K. Place Firenze. J.K. Place Paris, opened in 2020, is the group’s first hotel outside Italy and a 29-room conversion of a maison particulier located among the galleries and government offices of Paris’s Latin Quarter. For the interiors, Bönan raided antiques shops and flea markets for post-Cubist canvases, African chairs, and discarded sketches for old Hermès collections. Spread over three interconnected buildings and five floors, the handsome rooms come with perks that help to soften the muscular rates, including bathrooms so big you could take your morning coffee in them. Downstairs, the glass-roofed Casa Tua restaurant serves up good Northern Italian food, while a small but serviceable spa pool invites lazy lengths before negronis at the bar. There’s also a gym stocked with Technogym equipment and two rooms for spa and beauty treatments, but the real sell may be that the owner of the building loans out his own bateau-mouche riverboat—which even has a cinema—for private Seine cruises." - Sandra Ramani, Lindsey Tramuta
"This is the fantasy version of a stylish Parisian mansion, making its home in what was once the European Consulate on the rue de Lille, a block from the Rive Gauche. Its 29 rooms are full of unique antiques and artworks, and suffused with an elegance that’s certain to appeal to the fashion and media insiders who are likely to stay here." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The dream Parisian residence par excellence is housed in the former European consulate on rue de Lille, on the Left Bank. Its 29 guestrooms – all subtly different – are decorated with antiques and unique works of art, making it hard to resist their elegant charm." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Housed in a former European consulate on the Left Bank, this intimate 29-room hotel feels like a chic friend’s townhouse within walking distance of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Musée d’Orsay. Rooms are infused with Italian touches such as cashmere throws and French antiques sourced from local flea markets, blending the brand’s Florentine sensibility with unmistakably Parisian charm." - Jennifer Flowers
