Opening of the Grand Hyatt Xi’an Hotel

Hyatt Hotels has just announced the opening of the Grand Hyatt Xi’an hotel in Northwest China.

Strategically located within the Xi’an High-Tech Industries Development Zone, home to more than 200 Fortune 500 companies, Grand Hyatt Xi’an forms part of the landmark Maike Center, comprised of high-end retail and offices. Xi’an Greenland PICO International Convention & Exhibition Center as well as Xi’an Qujiang International Conference Exhibition Center are also situated nearby. Iconic tourist attractions, key transportation hubs and the international airport are also easily accessible from the hotel.

The oldest amongst the four great ancient capitals of China, Xi’an was the starting point of the Silk Road connecting east and west and is also home to one of the world’s most recognizable UNESCO sites, the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, China’s first emperor. Today, Xi’an is a key component of the renewed focus on the Silk Road, whose development is spearheading growth across the region and establishing the city as an important economic and cultural center for Northwest China.

Design and Guestrooms

Inspired by a palatial mirage in the desert, the Grand Hyatt Xi’an hotel’s impressive glass tower may appear cutting-edge, but its dramatic and bold design is firmly rooted in the history of Xi’an. Representing the Silk Road, the 396-room hotel connects to an office tower via a Sky Bridge 328 feet above ground. At ground level, the striking, faceted exterior of the hotel shapes the unique entrance comprised of a two-story atrium lobby topped with a triangular sloping glass roof. Inside, guests are greeted with striking design inspired by the exotic desert wildlife, geography and culture of the modern Silk Road.

Marrying contemporary luxury and modern comforts, ample space is afforded to all guests, with standard rooms starting at a generous 538 square feet and deluxe rooms starting at 807 square feet, all with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Light brushed woods and terracotta or crimson accents create a warm and relaxing ambience, like coming home.

Dining and Drinking

From the Sky Bridge, visitors can take in the dramatic 360-degree views of the metropolis below.  The scene is particularly beautiful in the evenings, when floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the glittering city lights. Against this backdrop, numerous dining experiences are available ranging from local to global gastronomical fare at The Lounge, Grand Café, Chang’an Bridge Chinese Restaurant and Allegro Restaurant & Bar.

rand Café conjures a vibrant marketplace along the Silk Road, where chefs prepare local and global cuisines within interactive, open kitchens during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dressed in warm desert tones, The Lounge is a welcoming spot for high-flyers to relax and meet.

Chang’an Bridge Chinese Restaurant serves the regional cuisines of Canton and Shaanxi in a chic ambience that contrasts dramatic abacus-styled screens and red booth seating with rustic woods and Persian carpets. In addition to the main dining room, nine dining suites are available for exclusive private experiences with butler service.

Opening later this year, Allegro Restaurant & Bar will bring a new level of personality to dining and nightlife in Xi’an. An Italian restaurant by day serving classic dishes and artisanal pizzas from the wood-fired oven, Allegro Restaurant & Bar will transform into a vibrant gastro lounge with specialty cocktails, wines and spirits, and live entertainment at night. The space can also be converted into a special event venue for meetings or events with natural light and impressive views.

Later this year, Maple House will specialize in Pan-Asian and local Shaanxi BBQ specialties in a stylish setting enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors. In sunny weather, guests can also enjoy alfresco dining on the podium terrace atop the fifth floor, which is beautifully landscaped with fire pits and colorful gardens.

Well-being and Activities

Grand Hyatt Xi’an houses a 24-hour fitness center equipped with the latest contemporary cardio and strengthening equipment to cater to all guests’ training routines while traveling. Guests can also take a dip in the indoor swimming pool which mirrors the ocean waves with undulating textured patterns on the walls and floor.

Conceived as an oasis amidst the sand dunes, the spa on the sixth floor is a calming sanctuary in soothing natural shades of green and wood, with pops of orange and yellow, where guests can be pampered with traditional Chinese-inspired massages and treatments. The spa will open in summer 2018.
