RadissonLakeside neoclassical hotel
The property runs like an unhurried resort just outside the capital, with lakeside dining, neoclassical decor, and sunset rooftop drinks.
“The lakeside location and indoor and outdoor pools are undoubtedly the biggest draw. However, it’s the staff that makes it a true gem.”

Looking out over Tirana’s Grand Park Lake, the Radisson Collection Morina offers a rare combination of city energy and resort calm.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Dry Lake sits directly outside, and the wooded walking paths of the Grand Park are a short stroll away.
The rooms
Front-facing rooms open onto balconies looking straight across the lake to the mountains. Inside, bathrooms are finished in dark marble.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool sits beneath a painted ceiling fresco, and the curved outdoor pool looks out across the lake.
The spa
A circular whirlpool tub sits in a bronze mosaic alcove, and the thermal suite adds a Turkish hammam and salt room.
Eden Restaurant
Terrace tables look straight across the lake, and the kitchen serves Mediterranean plates and traditional Albanian dishes.
