It is the main  industrial and commercial center of the country, the most economically  prosperous locality and the largest transportation hub. Moldova's rich soil and temperate continental climate have made the country one of the most  productive agricultural regions since ancient times, and a major supplier of  agricultural products in southeastern Europe.

The property brings Carlson Rezidor’s portfolio in  CIS countries to 11 hotels on almost 2,200 rooms  and it further strengthens the group’s leading position in the market.
