About Arka Art Hotel

Arka Art Hotel is one of Tirana’s most ambitious hotels: art-themed rooms and suites, separate atelier villas, a rooftop pool and bar, ballrooms named after Albanian traditional costume, the Andrra Spa with a wellness centre and gym, and even its own theatre, named after the actor Astrit Sula. It stands on Rruga e Ftonjve, east of the centre, a short taxi ride from Skanderbeg Square. It suits travellers who want a resort feel in the city, and the rooftop is a favourite for sunset drinks.
