In 1932, Guesthouse 1932 became open to the public as the first hotel of Himarë. The hotel and restaurant-cafe on the first floor was opened by my great grandfather and was later closed down in 1939 by the government. In 2014, it was renovated and opened for business again. We embrace this rich history and honor him by working the rooms to keep his memory alive.
