W Hotel Xi'an, an ultra-cool stay experience✨
Everyone, today I have to recommend the W Hotel Xi'an! I just got back from Xi'an, and this hotel really impressed me so much that I didn’t want to leave.
Super convenient location📍
The hotel is right in Qujiang New District, located at 333 Qujiangchi East Road. There are tons of attractions nearby, super easy to get to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Tang Paradise, and Shaanxi History Museum—all within walking distance. However, there aren’t many dining or shopping options around, but thankfully Didi rides are very convenient and the drivers are friendly.
Lobby design is super cool😎
As soon as you enter, the lighting and decorations in the lobby amazed me. The spiral ceiling changes colors with the music, making it perfect for photos. The staircase on the right is also a popular photo spot, giving a time tunnel vibe.
Rooms are super comfortable🛏️
The room design is very modern, and the bedding is especially soft and comfortable to sleep on. Plus, every room has a spacious balcony with views of Qujiang. I stayed in a lake view room where I could see Qujiang Pool and hear birds chirping in the morning.
Dining options are very rich🍜
The hotel has three restaurants, with a wide variety of breakfast choices including local Shaanxi specialties like roujiamo (meat sandwich), crystal cakes, and saozi noodles, as well as Cantonese dim sum and English breakfast tea. The Chinese restaurant’s Huaiyang cuisine is also excellent.
Fitness facilities are very complete🏊♂️
The gym is fully equipped, and the pool is very large and clean. The bottom of the pool features a Van Gogh painting, adding a special artistic touch.
Service is very thoughtful🤝
From check-in to check-out, the staff were very warm and welcoming. Upon arrival, they even gave me a local Xi'an snack called shizibing.
Other little tips💡
• Family trips: Some rooms have family-friendly areas, perfect for traveling with kids.
• Transportation: The hotel is close to subway and bus stations, and there is parking available for those driving.
• Photography: The hotel’s night view is especially beautiful—definitely go take some photos.
In short, W Hotel Xi'an is truly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at, highly recommend it to everyone!
