Ask any visitor to Albania, and they'll tell you the same thing – it's the warmth of the people that makes this country so memorable, and some of the best hotels in Albania present a stellar example. Yes, it has crystal clear rivers, snow-dusted peaks, a glittering Ionian shoreline, and ancient UNESCO heritage sites galore, but it’s the Albanians and their innate kindness and hospitality that make a visit here truly special. However, for the time being, there are still plenty of lovely hotels in Albania – from traditional guesthouses to boutique boltholes and heritage properties – these stays bridge the old and new, which could be the country's best USP.
