What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Set beside the river in Xi'an's ecological district, this hotel's rooms come with a rare detail: river views from the bathtub itself.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Jogging paths trace the riverbank outside, while the ancient City Wall is an easy drive into town.
The rooms
Deep soaking tubs sit right against floor-to-ceiling glass, looking straight out across the river confluence.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
Turquoise mosaic tiles line the heated indoor pool, and the gym looks out through tall windows across the grounds.
At the table
Le Mei serves Yunnan specialties, and open-air terrace tables look straight across the river toward the city skyline.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.

You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
