5-Star Hotels in Shaanxi, China

On my holiday, I brought my child to Xi'an and chose the Sofitel Legend inside the city walls. I booked a package on Ctrip, and the price was excellent. The hotel's location is superb, convenient for getting anywhere, and there are tons of options for food delivery. The entire hotel offers a quiet retreat amidst the hustle and bustle; as soon as you step through the main entrance, you're shielded from the city's vibrancy. The soundproofing in the rooms is also fantastic, ensuring a great night's sleep every night. The staff in all areas of the hotel are incredibly warm and professional. They always greet you enthusiastically and proactively offer various services; we felt very well taken care of during our stay. The hotel itself is compact and exquisite, with all the facilities and services you could need. There's a pool and a gym; the pool was often empty, so we had it all to ourselves! The minibar in the room comes with chocolates and a variety of drinks, plus a coffee machine. Every evening, there's a turndown service that includes cookies or small snacks and milk. The bedding is also very comfortable. The breakfast spread is extensive, with plenty to eat each day. The à la carte menu offers a wide selection of local delicacies and both Chinese and Western dishes, and it's available until 10:30 AM, which is perfect for late risers! What's more, the hotel is simply beautiful; every picture you take turns out great. Friends who love getting good photos should definitely consider staying here, as both the rooms and public areas are very photogenic. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I come back to Xi'an. Oh, and the toiletries are also very comprehensive; you only need to bring your own skincare products. The sewing kit was a pleasant surprise – even the thread was already pre-threaded!

Our stay at the hotel was absolute perfection. The rooms stylish, clean and so comfortable. The amenities feel luxurious and the staff went above and beyond to assure we felt cared for. The breakfast and afternoon tea are a must and don’t miss a swim in the pool!! The location was perfect for us as it is close to the main attractions within the city walls, yet feels very quiet and removed when you need to recharge. Loved it all!

The hotel is right inside the Huaqing Palace scenic area, so the location is fantastic. We booked a room with a private hot spring tub (though the hot spring water only runs from 7 PM and wasn't hot enough). The hotel butler service was excellent, and the housekeeping staff were very warm and diligent. You can also inform the front desk in advance to arrange an electric shuttle for transfers within the scenic area. The restaurant's food was delicious, and the service there was also superb. Recommended.

The quality of Ascott hotels is consistently reliable, as always. All facilities are very complete, including a refrigerator, microwave, and a washer-dryer combo, so you can pack fewer clothes for your trip. The hotel has a gym and a swimming pool, and the breakfast selection is quite rich. The staff and front desk personnel are warm, attentive, and responsive to every request. The surrounding area offers convenient transportation and dining options, making it easy to get to attractions like Xiaozhai, the Bell Tower, and the Shaanxi History Museum. There are also plenty of restaurants downstairs, and from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can gaze at the Small Wild Goose Pagoda in the distance. Although it's close to the main South Second Ring Road, it's very quiet.

Every time I pass through Xi'an, I stay here because it's convenient for parking our RV, they provide two cribs, the service is great, and the breakfast selection is really rich. However, this time I felt the breakfast wasn't as tasty as before, and the breakfast service was quite slow. On the first day, we waited a long time for both baby utensils and coffee. The window sills in the room weren't very clean either. If you're traveling with children, I'd suggest asking housekeeping to give them an extra wipe. Also, the *hulatang* (spicy soup) from our usual takeout spot wasn't good this time. The packaging improved, but the taste got worse.

The Novotel is in a fantastic location, right above Metro Lines 2 and 6, offering direct access to all major attractions. It's also just three stops from the train station. Downstairs, there's a travel agency where you can catch direct buses to the Terracotta Army and hop-on-hop-off city tour buses. As for the hotel's front desk staff, check-in was smooth and efficient. The hotel breakfast offers a wide variety, including freshly made 'sauteed' noodles and beef noodles daily, plus a mix of Chinese and Western options. This explains why we saw quite a few foreigners staying here. Next time I'm in Xi'an, I'll definitely choose the Bell Tower Novotel again. 100% recommended!

This hotel's location is incredibly convenient, right next to Exit B of Longshouyuan Metro Station. The hotel is clean, tidy, and the service is excellent. There were three of us traveling, including an elderly person. On days when the elder didn't join us, especially when the weather was too hot, I asked the restaurant to deliver lunch to our room. The food was delicious. There's a steakhouse on the second floor of the hotel, open until 9:30 PM. I bought a 398 CNY set meal for four there, which had generous portions and tasted great. The bread was especially well-baked, and you could refill the soup as much as you wanted. The thick steak was tender and flavorful, and the tuna pizza was quite unique. Our family room booking also included a ticket for the Chang'an Dream Tour Bus. Be aware that only one ticket is given per booking, so if two people go, you'll need to buy an additional ticket yourself. The bus pick-up and ticket exchange point is near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, about a 30-minute subway ride away. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! It's a renovated Tanghua Hotel, and despite being an older property, it feels brand new with excellent, comprehensive facilities. The mini-bar in the room is well-stocked, and the tea bar is a definite highlight. The common areas have a beautiful, ancient-style charm and are suitable for all types of guests. They even have peacocks, which are lovely! The hotel's Cai Feng Lou restaurant truly lives up to its reputation; the glutinous rice chicken is delicious, and the smoked fish is absolutely exceptional – highly recommend trying it. The location is superb. Our butler, Shanzha Dier, was incredibly helpful; when my friend wasn't feeling well, she kindly arranged for a late check-out, which was a very thoughtful touch. Tanghua Hualuxe truly lives up to its name as the premier Hualuxe and, in my opinion, the best overall hotel in Xi'an.

Arrived in Xi'an, and a light rain brought a welcome calm to the sweltering heat. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, especially the ones at the entrance. When a car arrived, they'd help guests load large luggage into the trunk and even open the car door. Everything was handled with such thoughtful detail. As for the hotel's environment, it's simply beyond words. The serene garden right before your eyes offers a peaceful retreat amidst the bustling city. Its central location makes getting anywhere a breeze... And after a soak in the tub with those wonderfully fragrant toiletries, you're sure to drift off into a peaceful sleep.

Very satisfied! Facilities: All the fixtures are brand new. The shower pressure is great and very comfortable. There's no old or worn-out feeling as some negative reviews mentioned, only understated luxury. Cleanliness: It's cleaned very well every day, and they even noticed we had a child and thoughtfully left two extra bottles of water, which was very attentive and considerate. Ambiance: The antique-style decor is in keeping with the age of the hotel, and both the kids and elders really enjoyed this style. Since we're in a thousand-year-old capital, of course, we want to stay in a hotel with historical charm! There's a bronze carriage in the lobby and Tang Sancai pottery in the room, giving a feeling of traveling back 5000 years. My child even said our hotel is like a museum! Service: From check-in to check-out, every staff member we encountered was smiling and had an excellent attitude.
