As expected from this renowned upmarket hotel brand, Shangri-La offers as high a level of comfort and service as can be found in Xi'an. Rooms are modern and spacious, stylishly decorated and equipped with all amenities, such as air-conditioning, flat-screen cable TV, and marble en suite bathrooms. Guests can choose from a selection of restaurants serving Western, Chinese and Thai cuisines, or enjoy drinks and snacks at the lobby bar. There are excellent facilities on site, including a heated indoor swimming pool, kid’s club, spa, and state-of-the-art gym. The hotel is located outside of the Ancient City Walls, but is well-placed for local amenities and makes a great base for exploring the ancient capital.
