The Hilton brand is set to debut in the Republic of Moldova’s hospitality market by opening its first hotel in Chișinău.

This marks a significant step in strengthening the country’s HORECA industry, providing tourists with another option for world-class accommodations, excellence in standards, and premium services.

“Hilton’s entry into the Moldovan market is an important milestone for us. Moldova is an emerging destination with a lot of untapped potential, and we believe that this investment will not only raise the standard of hospitality in the country but also further catalyze the growth of tourism and economic performance,” said Natalia Bejan, Director of Invest Moldova Agency. “We look forward to welcoming Hilton to our country and working together to bring new levels of service to both domestic and international guests.”

Hilton Garden Inn project will be carried out through an extensive reconstruction of the historic Dacia Hotel building, located in the historic centre of the capital. The transformation will involve expanding and modernising the structure to meet Hilton standards, providing guests with premium accommodation. The grand opening of the newly renovated hotel is anticipated for 2026.

Hilton Garden Inn is a full-service American hotel chain owned by Hilton Worldwide, catering to both business and leisure travelers by offering an elevated accommodation experience. The network includes over 860 properties with 126,086 rooms across 49 countries and territories.
