A family-welcoming Mandarin Oriental hotel is opening in the Chinese city of Xi’an. Renowned for the world-famous Terracotta Warriors, Xi’an is one of China’s four Great Ancient Capitals and is located in Shaanxi province.
The Mandarin Oriental property will be the group’s first urban resort in northwestern China. It promises to deliver “tranquility, wellness and cultural immersion” in one of China’s most historic destinations.
Mandarin Oriental, Xi’an, will reflect the imperial legacy of the city through a contemporary lens, blending Tang Dynasty inspiration with refined luxury.
The property is located within an expansive landscaped site adjacent to a newly developed park. It will offer 166 rooms and suites, all with outdoor terraces, uninterrupted views and natural hot spring experiences. Seven villas will boast private pools.
A highlight of the hotel will be The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, with a range of signature wellness, beauty and massage treatments and exclusive hot spring pavilions. There will also be an indoor-outdoor infinity pool, children’s pool and a programme of wellness rituals.
The hotel is planning for five dining spots, one of which will be a Chinese speciality restaurant featuring locally-inspired dishes.
Further guest experiences will include indoor and outdoor children’s facilities, an art and culture gallery and a boutique.
“This is more than a hotel,” said Laurent Kleitman, group executive officer of Mandarin Oriental. “This is an urban retreat that honours the city’s historic grandeur. Xi’an fits perfectly into our China strategy and our plans to further grow our portfolio over the next ten years.”
Mandarin Oriental, Xi’an, is currently slated to open in 2029.
