Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xi'an
Shaanxi
Sofitel Legend People's Grand Hotel Xi'an occupies a heritage building with a history beginning in 1953. After extensive refurbishment it reopened under the Sofitel Legend name in 2014, bringing French influences to a property long associated with distinguished visitors to the city. Landscaped gardens soften the setting, and the accommodation includes rooms and suites facing the greenery. The hotel offers tours of its own architecture and history, allowing the building to become part of the visit rather than simply the place to sleep. Dolce Vita serves Italian cooking, while the 1953 Lobby Lounge combines drinks and French-inspired desserts with a fireplace setting. A spa, pool and gym provide quieter interludes. The Dong Xin Street address also places several central landmarks within walking distance, including the city walls and Muslim Quarter.
