The Ritz-Carlton, Xi'an
A contemporary high-rise base in one of China’s great ancient capitals, The Ritz-Carlton, Xi’an combines 283 rooms, a full-floor spa, rooftop cocktails and polished Chinese dining with views across the modern city.
The Ritz-Carlton, Xi’an stands in the city’s central business district, creating a deliberate contrast with Xi’an’s ancient walls, Muslim Quarter and Terracotta Army. The hotel approaches the destination as both a historic capital and a modern technology center.
Its 283 rooms and suites use clean lines, muted colors and details inspired by local architecture and history. Club accommodations add access to a private lounge and terrace, giving guests a quieter place above the surrounding business district.
The full-floor spa includes couples’ suites, lounges, Zen gardens and an indoor pool. Local elements are incorporated into selected treatments, while the large wellness floor makes the property feel more resort-like than many city-center hotels.
Dining ranges from Jing Xuan’s Cantonese cuisine to Tasuro teppanyaki and the broader international offerings of Xian Kitchen. FLAIR brings cocktails, sushi and Southeast Asian small plates to a rooftop setting overlooking the skyline.
The Ritz-Carlton, Xi’an is best for travelers who want a highly polished contemporary base from which to explore one of China’s most historically important cities. Its design looks forward while cultural programming and local details keep the ancient capital present.
