Life Gallery Hotel

This sleek design hotel would be a surprise almost anywhere in the Balkans, but in a charming backwater like Korça, it's almost unbelievable. Rooms are spacious, with contemporary fittings, minimalist design, high-thread-count sheets and exposed brickwork, while service hums along seamlessly. It's in a gorgeous old mansion that also houses a slew of bars and restaurants and a swimming pool.
