Travelers staying in the capital of Albania have their pick of the lot for Tirana hotels. A wide range of accommodations are available in Tirana, which as Albania's most cosmopolitan city has hotels that can hold their own among the best in Europe, but also has smaller hotels with intimate charm and local flavor.

The Sheraton Tirana (pictured) ranks first among the luxury hotels in Tirana Albania. The five-star hotel upholds the chain's international standards with luxurious and modern furnishings and a high level of professionalism and service. Located near many of the prominent government buildings in the center of town, many bars and restaurants are just a short walk away in the popular Block district. The hotel building is an imposing modern structure which is streamlined and symmetrical, and just slightly reminiscent of Communist-style pomp and grandeur. A popular hotel for business travelers, there is a business center and wireless internet available, as well as a pool and fitness facilities. Rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished in a modern style with luxurious bedding and large bathrooms. International channels such as CNN and BBC come to your TV in your room, keeping you connected to home.

Another popular five-star option among the hotels in Tirana Albania is the Rogner Hotel, which like most of the other international luxury Tirana hotels is located in the center of town near the Block district. Like the Sheraton, you'll be paying more for exceptional service and quality standards comparable with luxury hotels in Western Europe. The best feature of the Rogner is the Mediterranean garden with a pool on the grounds, where you can stop for a breather before heading out to party all night. There is a restaurant and bar in the hotel for your convenience, and fitness facilities as well. You can even bring your laptop—there is free cable internet in the rooms. Rooms are comfortable but geared more for the business traveler, with an emphasis on modern functionality rather than pampering you with luxurious details. Nevertheless, the rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, the mini-bar well-stocked, and the bathrooms have all the amenities you need.

For a little local charm, one of the most popular Tirana hotels is the Theranda Hotel, a small boutique hotel located in the center of town. It is less expensive than the five-star Sheraton or Rogner, and you'll find that rooms are very comfortably appointed with a little more individuality than you'll get at a large hotel. Pleasantly decorated in soothing shades of white and pastel colors, the interiors are modern and streamlined, creating a calming spa-like atmosphere. Each room is spotless and is uniquely decorated in soothing hues, and the service is personalized and friendly. Free wireless internet, air-conditioning and a good breakfast are among the nice perks of this hotel. The location is good too - this hotel is situated in a quiet area that is within walking distance to the bars and restaurants of Block district as well as other attractions in Tirana. At an affordable price, the Theranda delivers great service and comfortable accommodation, making it many travelers' favorite among hotels in Tirana Albania.
