Setting and arrival
I arrived from Skopje in the early hours, and reception was still ready to check me in.
The rooms
The 28 rooms and six suites eschew minimalism for ornate elegance, with romantic furniture in warm hues, gold trim and intricate detail. My room had a living area with opulent sofas, a separate bedroom with king bed, a simple bathroom and a terrace overlooking the park. Wi-Fi, satellite TV, minibar and a desk are standard.
Dining
Breakfast is a fine homemade buffet from the hotel chef, and the restaurant is known for its fine dining and exquisite wine pairings.
The verdict
An extremely welcoming owner and team, opulent rooms and excellent food make the Dinasty a memorable stay in Tirana.
