Arka Art Hotel in Tirana can host seminars, conferences, receptions, gala dinners and weddings in two ballrooms and several smaller halls. The two ballrooms can be joined for up to 975 guests at a standing reception, and a separate theatre holds up to 350. Organisers also get bedrooms, a rooftop bar and pool, a restaurant and a spa on the same property.
Seminars and company events
The hotel runs a dedicated Events and Meetings section with ballrooms, halls and a theatre. For a plenary session, the Xhubleta Ballroom seats 85 in conference or theatre layout. The larger Plisi Ballroom seats 300 in conference layout on its own, and 385 when it is joined to Xhubleta. Both rooms are on the L floor, so a conference, its breakout meetings and its dinner can stay on one level.
The Hall of Light is set up for conference seating, standing receptions and plated meals. It has a skylight, which suits daytime sessions. Molla Arka Hall, Molla Arka 1 and 2, and four smaller halls named Arka e Krrabzave, Arka e Sulatëve, Arka e Trimit and Arka e Verës complete the list of meeting spaces.
Weddings and receptions
The Plisi Ballroom is described by the hotel as its largest room and as suited to weddings and gala evenings. A glass elevator descends into the hall from the Bridal Suite, which gives a couple a private entrance. Xhubleta has a large stage and high balconies, and the two ballrooms can be combined into a single space of almost 2,000 square meters.
