Geo & Art Boutique Hotel

Himarë · Albanian Riviera

A white house
on the water.
A balcony on
every room.

Geo & Art stands on the seafront stretch of the SH8 at Himarë, a few steps from Spile Beach. Three tiers of white balconies over the bay, and five room types — all of them sold with one.

The balcony

All five room types are sold with one, and it is the part of the room you will use. A table, two chairs, a hanging rattan chair on a rope, a terracotta pot — and beyond the rail, the bay, the moorings and the pine headland that closes it.

Rooms look out over the sea or over the town. The sea-facing ones are the reason to book early.

A few steps down

The hotel stands on the SH8 where it runs along the Himarë seafront, a few steps from Spile Beach. Guests scored the location 9.2 on Booking.com — the highest mark the property earns on anything, and 9.3 from couples.

Shops, restaurants, cash machines and the town are on the same short stretch of road. Himarë Castle stands on the hill behind.

The white house

Three tiers of balconies in white render, under timber eaves and terracotta pantiles, with the name in gilt letters across the front and a coiled spiral for a mark.

There is a lift, a lounge and a coffee shop, an outdoor seating area and a sun terrace, room service, daily housekeeping and somewhere to leave bags. Every room is non-smoking, and some of them take families.

Inside

White walls, pine bedframes, rattan pendant lamps and woven wall hangings — the same few materials in every room, and nothing on the walls that competes with the door.

Each room has air conditioning, a private bathroom, a tea and coffee maker, a hairdryer and free toiletries. WiFi is free throughout and guests score it 9.0.

The five

Three tiers, two aspects

Every one is a double with a balcony, air conditioning and a private bathroom. What changes is the tier and whether the balcony faces the sea.
