The hotel building is also known as the TID Tower, after the Tirana International Development corporation that originally commissioned its construction.

The design comes from Belgian architectural firm 51N4E, and construction started on 14 January 2007.

"[3] The central tower stands at 85 metres (279 ft) tall, and consists of 24 floors.

[4] The TID Tower's architectural design is notable for its sensitive incorporation of the Kapllan Pasha Tomb, tucked in a void in one of the complex’s low-slung concrete buildings, and for its use of concrete panels cast on-site.

[5][6] The building design was featured in the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2016.
