Reviving Two Centuries of Heritage
In the heart of UNESCO-protected Gjirokaster, we embarked on a remarkable journey - transforming an 1820s historic home into DAM Boutique Stone Hotel.
Our vision was to honor the soul of the original structure while infusing it with modern comfort and refined aesthetics.
Every stone, beam, and handcrafted detail speaks of a past preserved with care, merging seamlessly with contemporary luxury.

A Dialogue Between Old and New
The design revolves around balancing heritage and contemporary elegance, where neutral tones complement natural materials.
From artisanal wooden furnishings to the hand-painted traditional fireplace in our Fireplace Suite, each element was reimagined.
Custom lighting, refined brass accents, and curated decor enhance the timeless charm without overpowering historical essence.
Spa-Like Retreats Within History
Bathrooms transformed into luxurious private retreats.
- Live-edge wood vanities handcrafted from local timber
- Sleek contemporary fixtures with warm ambient lighting
- Premium bath products from Albanian artisan producers
- Rainfall showers in meticulously tiled stone enclosures
- Plush towels and robes reflecting the hotel's warmth and care
“This is one of the best hotels of our stay in Albania so far! It is a very quaint, quiet, family run hotel that has all the amenities of a luxury boutique hotel. The decorations are impeccable, the views from the terrace and some of the rooms are breathtaking, and the beds and pillows are heavenly.”
