The Best of Florence with the J.K. Place Founder & Owner, Ori Kafri
One of Europe's leading hoteliers takes us to his favorite places in his hometown of Florence
“I loved hosting people, and giving them the most beautiful experience of Florence,” says Ori Kafri, renowned hotelier and owner of the legendary Italian hotel brand, J.K. Place. This inspired him to open his first hotel in his hometown of Florence in 2003.
Today, J.K. Place Hotels is a world-famous brand with timeless boutique hotels in Capri (one of Italy’s most iconic hotels), Rome, and their most recent addition in Paris. The name J.K. pays homage to Ori’s father (Jonathan Kafri), combined with ‘Place’, as in, ‘the place to be’.
As one of the world’s leading hoteliers, born, raised, and residing in Florence, he is the ultimate tastemaker for the city. Below, Ori Karfi takes us to his favorite places in Florence.
