Luxury, Comfort, and Culinary Delight in the Heart of Xi’an: Our Stay at The Ritz-Carlton
* Published September 2025 *
During our recent travels through China, we had the pleasure of staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Xi’an—a hotel that effortlessly blends modern elegance with thoughtful service and comfort. Whether you’re visiting Xi’an for its rich history or as a stop on a longer journey, this hotel delivers an exceptional experience that rejuvenates both body and mind.
From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm and seamless, setting the tone for a restful stay. The hotel’s design is stunning, with thoughtfully curated details and panoramic city views from many areas of the property. It’s the kind of place where you can unwind, feel inspired, and be cared for at every step.
One of the highlights was the breakfast buffet—a truly expansive spread that caters to global tastes. You’ll find everything from local Xi’an specialties and a made-to-order noodle bar to fresh, vibrant fruit selections and familiar Western comfort dishes. Whether you’re starting a day of exploration or easing into a slower morning, it’s an experience worth savoring.
The hotel is conveniently located next to a mall, offering easy access to shopping and additional dining options—a nice touch for travelers wanting to mix relaxation with a little local discovery without venturing too far.
We stayed here prior to visiting the famous Terra Cotta Warriors, making it the perfect luxurious home base before immersing ourselves in one of China’s most iconic historical sites. After a restful night and nourishing breakfast, we felt ready to take in the wonder and scale of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Passport MD is all about finding destinations that prioritize luxury, wellness, and joy, and The Ritz-Carlton Xi’an embodies all three. It’s more than just a place to stay—it’s a place to reset.
