Argjiro Hotel Gjirokaster
The construction of the structure in the very heart of Gjirocaster and its historical core with the old bazaar which today houses the prestigious Argjiro Hotel, had started in 1885 as a home of the prominent Gjirocaster family and ended in 1891. Around 1930 one part of the structure was turned into the “Savoia Hotel“, one of the most reputed hotels in Albania and Gjirocaster area at that time, while the other part of this beautiful structure was rented in 1941 by “Bank of Napoli”. Since around 1960 the Argjiro Hotel in Gjirocaster was state owned and run by communists until 2002, during which period the structure ended in pitiful conditions, nearly ruined.
