About us

Our philosophy

At Ansel, hospitality isn’t a service — it’s a way of life. We want every guest to feel like they’re part of something meaningful: a slower pace, a deeper story, a genuine connection to Albanian culture. Ansel Boutique Hotel is more than just a place to stay in Berat — it’s a story brought to life through stone, tradition, and Albanian hospitality. Nestled in the heart of the historic city, our boutique hotel was born from a passion to preserve the soul of Berat’s traditional architecture while offering guests modern comfort and personal care. What was once a private family home has been carefully restored, blending heritage interiors, natural materials, and breathtaking views of the Mangalem quarter.

Designed for travelers seeking authenticity, Ansel Boutique Hotel in Berat is a peaceful escape for couples, explorers, and families alike. Whether you’re here to visit Berat Castle, discover local cuisine, or unwind in our rural surroundings, you’ll find your stay rooted in history and wrapped in comfort.
