I Was in Tirana for a conference and the hotel some of my colleagues (from other parts of the US) stayed at was booked. That 1st hotel was able to assist me in booking a room here at the Boutique Kotoni and I'm very grateful they did.  I was the only only person from Vegas so in a manner I was traveling solo.

The hotel itself is on the smaller size so there are not an unreasonable amount of guess, which for me is prefect. It's located pretty much in the center of the city so it is surrounded by nearly every amenity you might ask for. It is within a 5 to 10 minute walk from parks, bars, lounges, restaurants, Ice cream shops, and the pyramid where the conference was being held.

The interior of the hotel was modern. Even my colleagues commented on how it looked much nicer than the hotel they stayed at lol. The hotel rooms were well set up, clean upon first entry, and overall felt peaceful. There is no bar or mini fridge but for me it was not needed. The service of the staff was 1st rate. In particular Ann, Orgta, and Era.  They were personable, kind, and never once had any attitude even though I asked a million questions and several request.  I needed my suits pressed for the conference and even though laundry service had past they were able to accommodate the same day. I extended my stay by 2 day before leaving.

Breakfast was served each morning from 7 to 10 or 10:30 but it was much better than your standard centennial breakfast. There is a covered outdoor patio and a bar to order drinks from along with some lobby seats on the main floor and 2nd floor.

I would definitely recommend this hotel, and if I end up in Tirana, Albina again, I will stay at this hotel.

The hotel is located in the center of Tirana's nightlife. The Skenderberg Statue (center of the city) is only 600m far away. To Tirana's hottest night life spots its only 300meters. The Hotel it self is very quite, while its located in a safe corner, in front of the one of Albanians Courts. So the area is more than safe for you.

Tho rooms are super clean and big. The bed  very nice and comfortable.
The bathroom is super clean, and also with a whirl pool.

The food is delicious. High Quality breakfast and lunch (dinner I did not try)

The Owners, Customer Service, Cleaning Ladies, Reception, were super careful and generous. Thank you very much for this amazing time!!!

You can also work there, since there is enough place. You can also connect the TV with your Laptop, to extend screens.

Thank you very much Kotoni Team!

Best

Great location, updated lovely room, excellent king bed, super clean and great breakfast. What’s even better are the people who run the hotel. It definitely has a family boutique feel. Everyone is so willing to make your stay perfect! Ms Bardha was exceptionally nice and helpful. The evening desk host was also amazing. He gave us great recommendations and provided us with some historical facts of Tirana.

Stay at Luxury Hotel Boutique Kotoni in Tirana, Albania

Built in 1938, the building that now houses Boutique Hotel Kotoni was originally the residence of the Minister of Foreign Affairs during the communist era. It was later transformed into a boutique hotel, combining historical architecture with modern amenities.

Hotel Boutique Kotoni: A historic gem in the heart of Tirana

Nestled in the vibrant center of Tirana, Hotel Boutique Kotoni stands as a remarkable blend of rich history and modern luxury. This family-owned boutique hotel is housed in a building with a storied past dating back to 1938, offering guests not only a comfortable stay but also a unique window into Albania's historical narrative.

From ministerial residence to boutique hotel

Originally constructed in 1938, the building served as the residence for the Minister of Foreign Affairs during the communist era. This prestigious role placed it at the center of Albania's political history, embodying the architectural elegance and authoritative presence befitting its function.

In 1991, with Albania undergoing dramatic political changes, the property was returned to the Kotoni family. This moment marked the beginning of a new chapter for the building, shifting from a governmental residence to a vibrant space welcoming travelers from around the world.

By 1992, the site was renovated into a business center, reflecting the country's economic transition and the building’s adaptability to modern needs. However, its transformation was far from complete.

A complete renaissance into a boutique experience

Between 2010 and 2011, the building underwent a comprehensive renovation, reimagining it as the deluxe Hotel Boutique Kotoni that guests enjoy today. The design respects its historical roots while offering high ceilings, elegant interiors, and modern comforts that make it a top choice for discerning travelers in Tirana.
