Rogner Hotel Tirana hosts conferences, seminars, workshops and celebrations in nine conference and banqueting rooms, including the Antigonea conference center for 400 people, in the center of Tirana, Albania. The hotel sits on Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard, next to the main government and diplomatic addresses of the capital.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents banqueting as its main strength and offers a choice of rooms, set-ups and menus. Nine rooms, all air-conditioned and equipped with current technology, cover conferences, meetings, workshops, seminars and training courses. Two of the halls can be divided into six smaller conference rooms, so a plenary and its working groups can use the same wing.
The newest space is the Antigonea conference center, built in 2016, which holds 400 people. Its hall displays a recreated mosaic of Antigonea by the artist Saimir Strati. The name follows the hotel's habit of using Albanian and Illyrian references for its spaces: Antigonea is the city that Pyrrhus of Epirus named for his wife. The hotel's restaurant is Apollonia and its bar is Pirro.
Standard equipment is available in every function room: free wireless or wired high-speed internet, technical assistance during the event, wireless radio microphones, a flipchart with paper and markers, projection screens of 5 by 3 meters and 3 by 3 meters, a speaker desk with microphone, and notepads with writing materials. A conference sound system with one microphone for every two people can be added, with other specialist equipment on request.
Weddings and receptions
The official site speaks of conferences, meetings and celebrations in the banqueting rooms, but it does not describe wedding packages. Ask the hotel which rooms can be used for a reception, a gala dinner or a private party.
Rooms and capacities
The rooms are named after European cities: Stockholm, Rome, Paris, London, Vienna and Prague. The two conference halls that can be split into six rooms are part of this group, and the site does not give capacities per room. Antigonea holds 400 people. For any other layout, whether theatre, classroom, banquet or reception, request the dimensions and set-up tables from the hotel.
Accommodation
The hotel is the first in Albania built to international standards and has a long record with business, diplomatic and cultural guests. Bedroom numbers and categories are not given on the pages we read, so ask for a room block alongside your event quote. A spa is part of the hotel.
History and setting
The hotel stands in the center of Tirana, within walking distance of the Parliament, the President's Office, the Prime Minister's Office and several embassies. Behind it lies a Mediterranean garden of 30,000 square meters, described as unrivaled in Albania, which gives groups an outdoor space for breaks in the middle of the city.
Getting there
The address is Bulevardi Dëshmorët e Kombit, 1001 Tirana. The hotel is in the city center, and the government district is reachable on foot. For event inquiries, the hotel lists info.tirana@rogner.com and +355 4 2235035.
