The Best Hotels in Tirana, Albania

The Plaza Tirana is not just the most famous hotel in Albania, it is a landmark of the Albanian capital, too. The Plaza is one of the most important and beautiful buildings in Tirana and is located just few steps from the central Skanderbeg Square, the heart of the city. It is the perfect place for those who are looking for tranquility and comfort, because all the main spots in town are easily reachable on foot. Also, the Plaza hosts three of the tastiest restaurants in Tirana – Savor, Convivium and PaneVino – the latter being one of the best Italian restaurants in town. The Plaza also offers spectacular views over the recently renovated Skanderbeg Square.

Areela Boutique Hotel is a cozy, hidden hotel located just ten minutes from Skanderbeg Square. It is situated in an apparently anonymous building, but once inside you will find a welcoming place full of well-designed furnishings, lovely traditional Albanian qilim (gorgeous handmade rugs) and carefully curated furniture. A plus here is the excellent and tasty breakfast with organic honey, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, bread and fresh orange juices.

Vila Verde is a lovely hotel just 600 meters from Skanderbeg Square. It is the perfect place for travelers who are looking for relaxation and tranquility, thanks to its quiet location. The beautiful rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast, served every morning and made with the freshest seasonal products, is excellent. Vila Verde is five kilometers from the departure point to visit Mount Dajti, Tirana’s mountain, an amazing natural paradise that is reachable by funicular or car and perfect to escape from the crowds of the capital.
