Amid a surge in tourism and international travel, Moldova is set to welcome its first ibis Styles hotel, part of the renowned Accor Group, a global leader in the hospitality industry. Scheduled to open in fall 2025, the project represents a €12 million investment and marks a new milestone in the development of Moldova’s HORECA and tourism infrastructure.

The hotel is a flagship component of the “German Village” urban concept, developed by Regata Imobiliare SRL, and is strategically located on the main road to Chișinău International Airport (RMO)—one of Europe’s most dynamic airports in its category, with a 48.3% increase in passenger traffic in the first half of 2025 alone, totaling over 2.45 million travelers.

With a modern design inspired by tennis—echoing the creative identity of the wider development—the hotel will feature:

• 100 contemporary rooms
• A modular event center (200+ m²)
• A restaurant with bar and terrace
• A fitness area
• 45 parking spaces

The investment has already generated approximately 50 new jobs and is expected to attract international hospitality expertise to Moldova, further supporting local economic development.

This launch also signals Moldova’s increasing attractiveness for global hospitality groups and highlights the country’s potential to emerge as a competitive destination in Central and Eastern Europe, driven by sustainable, functional, and socially impactful development.

Recent sector trends reinforce this outlook:

• A 7.5% increase in tourist arrivals in Q1 2025 vs. Q1 2024
• A 23.2% rise in overnight stays—reflecting longer visitor stays and deeper engagement with the local tourism offering

The opening of ibis Styles Chișinău is more than just a hospitality milestone—it’s a statement of Moldova’s commitment to modern urban development and a welcoming global image.

As part of its investor-first approach, the Invest Moldova Agency ensures continued engagement even beyond the launch phase through its dedicated Aftercare program. This service provides hands-on assistance for reinvestment planning, expansion facilitation, and resolution of administrative challenges. By maintaining strong relationships with key investors, the Agency supports sustainable growth and reinvestment cycles—critical components of Moldova’s evolving business ecosystem.
