Accor has signed an agreement to open a new Mercure hotel in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova under a franchise agreement with a local partner, Coriap SRL, marking the expansion of the group in Eastern Europe.

The new Mercure hotel project is located in the heart of Chisinau, on 72 Vlaicu Pîrcălab Street, an area that ideally blends tourism and business attractions, the property is only steps away from the city's most iconic landmarks.

The hotel will feature 74 guest rooms, a restaurant and a lively bar, three versatile conference rooms for hosting business events, private celebrations, and ceremonies, a business corner as well as a gym and sauna area.

Chișinău is the main city of the Republic of Moldova, both in terms of population and economic activity. It is located in the centre of the country, along the Bâc River. It is the most developed area in Moldova and about a third of the population of Moldova lives in the surrounding metropolitan area.

We are thrilled to announce the opening of a new Mercure hotel in the beautiful city of Chisinau, the heart of the Republic of Moldova. Accor’s decision to open a new hotel here is a testimony to our passion for promoting tourism and introducing the world to this region of Europe. By bringing Chisinau to the attention of Accor's international travellers, we are opening new opportunities for guests to experience the city's unique culture and charm. Our commitment is to deliver the same high standards of service and comfort that Accor is known for and are confident that the new destination will leave guests with unforgettable memories.
