One of Albania's top hotels, not just for the rooms but also for its reputation as a meeting point for locals and visitors. The Rogner promises Western standards and delivers. Each room is decked out with stylish wooden furniture,  satellite TV, radio, safe and fax outlet, and some have balconies. The suites look great with their stone floors. The lush garden has an astroturf tennis court, swimming pool, playground and putting green - and even a well-preserved bunker. The excellent Apollonia restaurant and two café/bars are on site.

137 rooms (singles €210, doubles €250, 20 suites €320)
