CHAR Grill&Bar

CHAR Bar on the 25th floor of the Xi'an Economic and Technological Development Zone InterContinental Hotel | 8-Sip Sobering Challenge Test ✨ From Gin and Tonic, Negroni, Apple Iced Tea, Whiskey Sour, Cosmopolitan, to Long Island Iced Tea, Martini, and Tequila. The first few drinks were smooth, sweet and refreshing with prominent fruit flavors, making it easy to let your guard down. But you can't underestimate it as you go on; the alcohol level slowly builds up. I stopped after my 6th Long Island Iced Tea. The remaining Martini and Tequila are definitely not for the average person. Although I didn't complete the challenge, I received an "Alcohol Captive" certificate, which is quite a souvenir. This CHAR Bar is on the 25th floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city sports park, offering a stunning view of the northern suburbs at night—perfect for taking photos. It has an indoor quiet bar area and an outdoor terrace: the interior is subtly luxurious with a long marble bar counter and a wall of bottles, quiet and peaceful, without any noisy clubbing, perfect for a relaxing break and taking pictures.

[Taste] The best steakhouse in Xi'an, I can only say it's average. I ordered a shrimp and spinach salad for the appetizer, but I didn't see any spinach. The cucumber roll inside was already rotten. For the main course, I ordered a dry-aged steak 🇺🇸 600g rib eye, medium rare. The temperature when the dish was served was not high enough, and the plate was not reheated or kept warm, which made the beef taste very greasy. It felt like butter in my mouth. [Environment] The restaurant is located on the 25th floor of the hotel. I reserved a seat by the window. The view outside the window was average. There was also a lot of fog in winter. [Service] There were many waiters and they were very enthusiastic. There were also people selling hotel membership cards during the meal.

When I was in Xi'an, I took a train to transfer. My friend helped me book this five-star hotel. It is very close to Xi'an North Station. It only costs ten yuan to get there by Didi. The subway station can be reached in a few minutes. The surrounding area is very lively. There are several large commercial complexes next to it. There are food and entertainment inside. There are many stalls on the sidewalk, with snacks, fresh squeezed food, handicrafts, etc. The night market is very popular. The hotel has complete facilities. Although the lobby is not spacious and grand, the quality of InterContinental is indeed reassuring. The room is clean, bright and comfortable. The signature standard cloakroom is as popular as ever. The bathroom area is reasonably distributed, the bathtub is large enough, and the bedding is particularly comfortable. It was the best night of sleep on this trip to the northwest. The most satisfying thing is the breakfast. Every food stall makes people very appetizing. In addition to the regular dishes, there are many local special snacks in Xi'an, beef noodles, mutton soup steamed buns, roujiamo, zonggao, etc., everything is available. The normal price is not expensive, just a few hundred yuan, which can be said to be very cost-effective in the InterContinental Hotel. However, the room prices will be adjusted during holidays, and the adjustment will be significant, so it is better to book in advance.
