The hotel is part of a new development on Dry Lake, one of the most exclusive and quiet areas of the city. Tirana was named the European Youth Capital for 2022 and is known for its Mediterranean climate, its prime location overlooking the Adriatic Sea, its many squares and pedestrian streets lined with colorful pastel buildings such as the famous Skanderbeg Square, and its myriad of excellent museums.

Radisson Collection Morina Hotel, Tirana features 49 elegant rooms and suites across eight floors. The interior design focuses on luxurious comfort with soothing white, ivory and brown tones, Italian-made furniture, sofas, and seats upholstered in Alcantara, and decorative references to the neoclassical style of the Louis XVI era. Bathrooms are fitted in striking black marble and offer walk-in rain showers as well as bathtubs in the suites. All rooms feature private balconies, with some rooms and suites overlooking Dry Lake.
