Tirana International Hotel & Conference Centre

What Tirana International Hotel & Conference Centre does

Tirana International Hotel & Conference Centre operates a 170-room, 4-star superior hotel located on Scanderbeg Square in central Tirana, Albania. The property is positioned as the largest and most prestigious hotel and conference center in the country and was fully renovated in 2018. Its accommodation product spans five tiers — Standard Single/Double, Deluxe Single/Double, and 70 m² Executive Suites — each equipped with LED HD television, high-speed WiFi, and work desks, with higher tiers adding marble bathrooms, Scanderbeg Square views, and complimentary secure parking.

The conference center is the operational differentiator: 15 multifunctional rooms across 3,000 m² with aggregate capacity for up to 2,200 delegates. Flagship venues include the 500-capacity Akernia, the 350-capacity Balsha (with four built-in translation booths), and the 250-capacity Classic room. Conference infrastructure includes audio systems, multiple screen sizes up to 7 m × 3 m, ceiling and portable projectors, wireless microphones, digital audio recording, and simultaneous translation equipment certified to European standard EN 15038:2006 for up to 8 languages. Dining is delivered through the Classic Balcony & Restaurant (200 covers), La Pergola Terrace Bar & Restaurant (2nd-floor city views), Café Lounge, and a full-service catering and banqueting operation. Wedding services, a 24-hour airport shuttle, business center, secure parking, and the on-site International Casino Tirana round out the offer.

The business model combines room revenue (booked via Synxis, GDS, and walk-in), conference and event rental, food and beverage, and casino operations. Distribution is hybrid: direct-to-consumer through the multi-language website, GDS channels (Amadeus, Sabre, Galileo/Apollo, Worldspan, Pegs ADS, Travelweb) for travel-agent bookings, and phone/reservation-desk sales. Customer segments are weighted toward government and institutional clients (location adjacency), corporate business events, and wedding/social occasions, with leisure travelers as a secondary segment.
