The hotel blends Chinese cultural and historical heritage with decor rich in contrast. It combines both traditional luxury with surprising avant-garde Gran Melia Hotels and Resorts’ touches.
The location was in a quieter part of town than near the old city but near a large and major Xi’an site, Wild Goose Pagoda, lots of restaurants, and the metro (the best way to get around).
The room was beautiful and had a better layout than other hotel rooms (the dimensions were longer from door and window).
The only drawback is its proximity to the old city. It is a little way out from the action, but there is still a lot of other shops and restaurants nearby. Given the cost of taxi is pretty cheap it really boils down to travel time.
The rooms are gorgeous, and the service impeccable, especially at the Red level. The buffet breakfast included a good selection of Chinese and European-style food, and the complimentary afternoon tapas available on the 5th floor added a nice touch. The location is not close to the old city centre, but it’s within walking distance of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, with lively street life nearby, especially in the evenings.

Restaurants: There are 3 restaurants. A smart chinese one, a very good coffee-shop (with a huge buffet) and a spanish one led by a very professional spanish cook.(We recommend you trying it). Food stuffs are all first quality. Prices are reasonable. Spanish wine is also available and affordable.There are also some quiet places to have a drink in a nice atmosphere.
–Fitness: enormous and clean swimming pool, jacuzzis (private and public) and first brands for the exercise machines.

Location is good, across the road there are plenty food to choose. Very yummy various food wherever we eat and very very cheap.

This is such a wonderful hotel. They are welcoming and warm, from the minute you walk in the door you’re greeted by lovely dog and cute kitties. They employ deaf/ mute staff which I think is wonderful. The bed is the absolute comfiest bed ever.
