Radisson Blu Leogrand Hotel

Radisson Blu Leogrand Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Radisson Blu Leogrand Hotel honestly feels like stepping into a different world — and I mean that in the best way possible. This five-star property sits right on str. M. Varlaam, which locals will tell you is pretty much the heart of everything worth seeing in Chişinău. The lobby has this understated luxury vibe that doesn’t scream “look at me” but definitely whispers “you’ve made a good choice.” You know what struck me most? The staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which tells you something about the kind of place this is.

The Perfect Spot

Location-wise, you really can’t do better than this in Moldova’s capital. I’m talking about a 9.5 location score here, and honestly, I get it — you’re within walking distance of the main shopping areas, government buildings, and some seriously good local spots that most tourists never find. Couples seem to absolutely love it here (they rate the location 9.5 for romantic getaways), and after spending time in the area, I can see why. The tree-lined streets around the hotel have this old European charm, but you’re still close enough to modern restaurant and cafes that you won’t feel stuck in a time warp.

Rooms That Actually Deliver

Let me tell you about the beds — because apparently everyone talks about how comfortable they are, and they’re not wrong. My room had this perfect balance of contemporary design with subtle nods to local culture, nothing too heavy-handed. The windows are large enough that you get plenty of natural light, and the soundproofing actually works (which matters when you’re in a busy part of the city). The marble bathroom feels genuinely luxurious without being over the top, and honestly, the water pressure is better than what I have at home.

Food Worth Talking About

The breakfast buffet here is something else — I mean, they’ve got the usual international options, but they also include some local Moldovan specialties that you won’t find at chain hotels. The main restaurant serves food that’s genuinely worth recommending, not just hotel food that’s “fine.” I had this amazing local wine pairing dinner that the sommelier suggested, and it was one of those meals where you actually slow down and pay attention. The service feels personal rather than scripted, which makes all the difference when you’re trying to unwind.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is the repeat guest factor — people actually come back here, which says everything you need to know. The private parking is a genuine blessing if you’re driving (trust me, finding parking in central Chişinău can be an adventure you don’t want). But beyond the practical stuff, there’s this feeling that the hotel actually cares about your experience rather than just processing you through. The 8.9 rating reflects what you’ll find: a place that delivers on the luxury promise without the pretension that sometimes comes with five-star properties.
