About Hotel Argjiro
Hotel Argjiro brings a landmark back to life beside Gjirokastër’s old bazaar. The building went up between 1885 and 1891 as a family residence, became Hotel Savoia around 1930, and, after restoration begun in 2011, reopened as Hotel Argjiro on 3 August 2016. Some rooms have balconies looking to the castle or over the stone roofs of the old town. There is a bar, a terrace and a restaurant serving local dishes such as qifqi, the town’s herby rice balls, and the house museums and cafés are right on the doorstep.
