5-Star Hotels in Durres, Albania

Wonderful hotel. We stayed from September 19 to September 30, 2024. We didn't want to leave. Upon arrival, it turned out that the room we booked was not available, and they upgraded our room category to the best - a two-room suite of more than 50 meters with a terrace also 50 meters - with sun loungers, a huge umbrella, a dining table and a small table with chairs. And no extra charge! Special thanks to the hotel management for this. The breakfast is very good. Everything is there. Fried eggs, omelettes, pastries, vegetables, fruits, hams, sausages, cheeses, sausages, baked zucchini and eggplants. Excellent coffee of all kinds from the coffee machine. You need to walk a little to the sea about 400-500 meters along a shady alley of thujas - it is pleasant to walk, it smells of pine needles and there is no scorching sun. A wonderful large sandy beach with sun loungers and umbrellas. At the reception they also give out towels or blankets for the beach/pool. Everything is free. The sea has a gentle entrance, it is quite shallow for a long time, but the water is always warm, even after the rain. The location is about 30 kilometers from Tirana and 30 kilometers from Durres. If you want to go see nature/sights, you will need to rent a car. There were 3 restaurants within walking distance: Gambero is the best. The food is purely Italian, and everywhere the same. Equally delicious. Fish, seafood, meat, pasta, pizza, salads. There is homemade wine. Local beer is delicious, although I am not a fan. There is also imported. There is also a restaurant in the hotel itself. The same, but the prices are more expensive. Sometimes it was not open. Shops. There are 3 shops: right around the corner from the hotel (Eco), in the neighboring village of Lura3 (ok) and ”on the dusty road” (the best, the richest selection - there are cheeses, fruits, pates, inexpensive wine, though Italian - local wines were not seen anywhere), you can go through the ”garbage forest”, but it is also very dirty there. I definitely recommend the hotel, it is probably one of the best in this country, if not the best. Good price/quality ratio.

It takes 5 minutes to drive to the airport. It is probably the best hotel near the airport. It is newly opened, but it is a bit far to walk there. The hotel has its own restaurant, bar, swimming pool, gym and sauna, etc., and parking is free. There is a free airport shuttle bus, but you need to book it with the front desk in advance. But there are no other facilities around and it is far from the city.

This is a new hotel but the staff are very well experienced and knowledgeable. The rooms are super modern and very well designed. Spacious and clean with 5-star amenities and Nuxe toiletries. And the bed and pillows... 😍😍😍 The spa and facilities are very clean. Parking is available for guests which is a big plus if you're driving as the area is very busy. It's attached to a mall but has its own entrance too. Tons of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. I would highly recommend it! I stayed there during my birthday and they surely made it very special for me. Even got me a cake and a bottle of champs. Thank you guys! Hopefully, I'll see you again soon.

The staff is very nice

The hotel staff were very warm and friendly from the first moment I arrived at the hotel. They gave me a free upgrade and made sure to show me to my room. The hotel itself is lovely, and the comfort level is just amazing. The breakfast was so good, it even has an omelet station. I highly recommend this hotel what you are looking for a relaxing stay by the Albanian seashore.

The appartments themselves are cool, but have spent a lot of forces on settlement. It is impossible to find, no communication is possible, through the left people on the street somehow managed to contact the host and get a settlement instruction.
