Hilton Xi’an City Wall is the choice for travellers who want a full-service international hotel inside the historic core. The booking page lists it as a five-star property and rates it a Wonderful 9.2 from more than five hundred reviews. Its location among the old town’s landmarks, including the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Shaanxi History Museum and the City Wall itself, puts most of the central sights within a short walk or ride, and it is a comfortable base for travellers who like to explore on foot and return to a calm retreat. There are 309 rooms, with deep soaking tubs, desks, safes, coffee and tea makers and 24-hour room service. Facilities include an indoor pool with a lifeguard, a hot tub, sauna and steam room, a full-service spa, a gym that is open around the clock, a garden, a bar, a coffee shop and three restaurants. Wi-Fi is free in public areas, while breakfast and self-parking are charged as extras. For a hotel at this level, the setting, close to the wall and the heart of the city, is the main attraction, and the spa and pool make it a welcome refuge after a long day on the Terracotta Army trip.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands in the old-town area, near the City Wall, and the Bell Tower, Drum Tower and Shaanxi History Museum are all listed among its nearby landmarks. Exact walking times are best checked on the booking page for your dates, but the old town is compact, and metro stations and taxis are easy to find. A taxi to the Terracotta Army or the airport takes longer, so allow plenty of time on departure days.
Rooms
The hotel has 309 rooms, each with air conditioning, a safe, a desk, a flat-screen TV, a coffee and tea maker and a deep soaking tub, plus daily housekeeping and 24-hour room service. Room categories and bed types vary by date, so check the details when booking. Rollaway beds are available for a fee, and cribs are provided free on request. Pets are not allowed.
Who it suits
Couples, history lovers and business or leisure travellers who want a strong international hotel with a spa and a pool inside the old town. Families can manage, but this is a hotel for comfort and location more than for children’s activities.
