Pse Njerëzit E Duan

- Stunning Belle Époque restoration that feels fresh, not dusty
- The subterranean marble pool that feels like a Roman bath
Shikim i shpejtë: It's undeniably spectacular, but the service can sometimes veer from 'attentive' to 'stiff and pretentious' if you aren't wearing a Rolex.
Rishikuar nga @gregkiep: Staying here was a total bucket list moment. The suite felt like a private palace, especially with that incredible skylight above the bed. The staff knew my name before I even checked in—the personalized welcome note and wine were the perfect touch. Truly unforgettable.
