Château Linza Resort

Perched among mountain pines on Tirana’s outskirts, Chateau Linza Resort is a 4-star mountain resort about 4 km from the city center and roughly 20 km from Tirana International Airport. It’s a short drive to the Cable Car, Toptani Shopping Center and the Pyramid, making it a handy base for both nature and city stops.

Freshly renovated and reopened in 2019, the resort blends modern comfort with pine-scented hillside vibes. Rooms are air-conditioned and outfitted with flat-screen TVs, minibars, desks and complimentary bottled water. Bathrooms often feature separate tubs and showers and hair dryers. Expect terraces, garden views and sunset moments above the treeline.

Dive into an outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar or the bar-terrace after a day on the trails. There’s a small fitness center, library and on-site hair salon. Complimentary wireless internet, free self-parking and a 24-hour reception keep things easy. Concierge, tour desk, laundry and transfer services are available, and a roundtrip airport shuttle runs for a surcharge.

Conference space includes about 70 sq m split between a conference center and two meeting rooms. A business centre and computer station are on-site, plus luggage storage and flexible event support.

Home to the well-known Markata e Peshkut restaurant with a focus on fine fish-based cuisine, the resort also offers two coffee shops/cafes, a restaurant and poolside bar. A complimentary local-cuisine breakfast is served daily from 8:00–10:00, and limited room service is available.
