101 best hotels: sexy
JK Place
Piazza Santa Maria Novella, Florence 
Sexual renaissance. Just 20 individually designed rooms here, flickering with candies and full of the scent of lilies and roses. The style is traditional meets modernist. This is your dream townhouse, if only you were rich enough to live in Jo Malone. But you won't feel messy if you happen to be over seven stone: J K Place is humanised by the staff and terrific service that is never pompous. You can help yourself to wicked cakes; breakfast is at one big table with other beautiful people. Or in bed. You really feel that nothing is too much trouble, and the location is so good.
J K Place feels like a house, not a hotel: it has a library, and etchings propped against the wall. So cosy. Go before everyone else discovers it can be their house, too. Eat at Finisterrae just off Piazza Santa Croce - it's beautifully done and has an interior courtyard.
