We Make Your Business Unique

Under the philosophy and slogan “We make your business unique,” the newest tower in Albanian capital “Alban Tower Tirana” was inaugurated on May 13, 2023 Through the sounds of jazz music, mesmerizing architecture, and delicious cocktails, the participants had the opportunity to enjoy a special evening.

The inauguration was attended by the Albanian Prime Minister, Mr. Edi Rama, the Mayor of Tirana, Mr. Erion Veliaj, the Ambassador of Italy to Albania, H.E. Mr. Fabrizio Bucci, the Italian architect, Mr. Marco Casamonti and the owner Alban Xhaferi, who made possible his daring dream to have in Tirana the most beautiful and exclusive tower in the entire Balkan area.

Marco Casamonti with his studio Archea Associati, sealed another important architectural symbol of the city of Tirana by building a tower over 100 meters high with an original and evocative design in the Albanian capital.

The project started 18 years ago and was successfully crowned despite the many challenges, starting with the economic crisis of 2008, passing through the violent earthquake of 2019, which the building resisted with extraordinary strength also due to an absolutely innovative and original structural conception.

The façade embraces the metaphor of the tree with a base part - the trunk - made of solid panels of green-colored concrete with small circular gems of Murano glass in five different colors. The building is entirely intended for offices while the highest part of the building houses a café, a panoramic restaurant, as well as a wellness centre, a gym and a swimming pool which occupies the roof of one of the four towers. A helicopter landing pad tops the tower.

In addition to the hotel lobby, an important role is also played by the exterior of a building, which affects the emotional side. The modern philosophy of hotel design is about telling a unique story with the basic elements used while conducting the vision.
