BERD’S Hotel in Chisinau announces that it is the first and only hotel in the Republic of Moldova to be included in the Forbes Travel Guide Curated Collection, having already been featured in the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection.
Chisinau, October 7, 2026 — BERD’S Hotel, a five-star boutique hotel in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, announces its inclusion in the Forbes Travel Guide Curated Collection. This recognition brings Moldova’s authentic hospitality and the experience it offers to travelers from around the world into the spotlight. The hotel is also already featured in the MICHELIN Guide hotel selection.
What does a guest discover about Moldova through the place where they are welcomed? At BERD’S, the answer begins with the hotel’s identity. The concept, designed by Italian architect Luca Scacchetti, combines contemporary design with local art and culture. Handwoven carpets and works of art create a connection with the country’s heritage, within a space designed to bring travelers and their destination together.
This approach is also reflected in BERD’S Restaurant Arome Locale, where Moldovan cuisine is given a contemporary interpretation. The hotel thus offers an experience through which visitors can discover Moldova through design, gastronomy and Moldovan hospitality.
The hotel’s presence in both guides provides a starting point for a discussion about the international visibility of the Republic of Moldova as a tourist destination. BERD’S story illustrates how local identity can become part of a stay in Chisinau and reach an audience looking for its next travel destination.
