MGallery Collection, Accor’s portfolio of storied boutique hotels, has officially opened its first property in Albania, the Green Coast Hotel, MGallery Collection. Located between the cliffs of the Ionian coast and the turquoise waters of Palasë beach, this new destination redefines luxury on the Albanian Riviera.
A Hidden Gem on the Rise
Located just an hour’s scenic drive from the soon-to-open Vlora International Airport, the hotel offers effortless access to one of Europe’s most captivating emerging destinations. Guests can explore UNESCO World Heritage sites like Berat, hike the Caesar Trail, or simply unwind on the pebbled shores where Julius Caesar once landed.
Design Rooted in Heritage
The hotel’s architecture pays homage to Albania’s layered history, Illyrian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences are reflected in its earthy tones, natural stone, and artisanal details. With 131 rooms, including five culturally inspired suites and a Presidential Suite, each space is a serene retreat with panoramic sea views and interiors that echo the elegance of coastal living.
Culinary Journeys with a Local Soul
At Mosaic, the all-day restaurant, guests can savour seasonal dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients, ranging from traditional Albanian small plates to Middle Eastern-inspired fare. The Mente bar offers a front-row seat to the Ionian Sea, serving signature cocktails like the Golden Laurel, infused with local Raki, rosemary, and sage.
Beyond the hotel, curated culinary experiences include vineyard tours, cooking classes, and honey tastings, all designed to immerse guests in Albania’s rich gastronomic heritage.
A Five-Floor Wellness Escape
The hotel’s wellness offering spans five levels, featuring a state-of-the-art fitness studio, spa, sauna, and infinity pool. Guests can enjoy sunset sound healing, full-moon beach yoga, and guided hikes, all framed by the Ionian coastline. Herbal teas and fresh juices complete the journey toward renewal.
The Signature “M Moment”
Every MGallery hotel offers a bespoke experience, and at Green Coast, it’s a sunrise paragliding adventure. Guests begin with a mountaintop breakfast before soaring down the cliffs to land near the historic Julius Caesar coin monument, toasting the moment with champagne.
A Commitment to Culture and Community
The hotel partners with UN Women Albania to support gender equality and inclusive tourism. It also champions local artisans and sustainable practices, ensuring that every guest experience contributes to the island’s cultural and environmental preservation.
Meetings with a View
With elegant indoor venues and panoramic terraces, the hotel is also equipped to host meetings and mid-sized conferences, offering bespoke catering and a setting that inspires creativity and connection.
Green Coast Hotel, MGallery Collection is more than a luxury escape, it’s a celebration of Albania’s past, present, and future.
