InterContinental Huayi Grand Opening, High-Speed Rail Direct to the Millennium Ancient Capital Finally Has a Top Travel Destination

As the morning bell of the thousand-year-old city of Xianyang rings to the beat of a new era, InterContinental Hotels Group unveils its long-awaited masterpiece—the Xianyang Huayi Hotel, officially opening in early spring 2026! This "giant" that reshapes the city's high-end travel landscape is not only the first international brand five-star hotel complex in Xianyang but also offers divine features like a 15-minute direct airport transfer, 18-minute high-speed rail commute from Xi’an, and a 24,200㎡ Chinese-style garden, making countless travelers exclaim, "This is the ideal residence that bridges ancient and modern times." 1. Opening as the Top Choice! How Stunning Is the "City Living Room" with 738 Guest Rooms? Who would have thought that this hotel, which caused traffic jams and navigation alerts during its trial operation, was once a regrettable unfinished project? Now transformed, it stands as a benchmark in Northwest China with 738 guest rooms, showcasing a textbook "comeback" with strength. Entering the lobby, the design inspiration of "Fengxiang Yunhai" hits you—gilded light and shadow collide with elegant ancient forms. Every night at 7:30 PM, there is the immersive mini-theater "Xiao Shi Nong Yu"—wire-flying choreography paired with water screen projections, telling the Qin dynasty love legend in ten minutes. Order a matching rose nectar to complete the full ritual. The guest rooms continue the Chinese aesthetic heritage, with windows overlooking the shimmering waters of Shuangzhao Lake Wetland Park. Some room types even offer views of the 24,200㎡ garden water scenery. The mattresses are custom-made by InterContinental, toiletries carry a subtle tea fragrance, and even the minibar hides Shaanxi specialty snacks—every detail embodies the Chinese hospitality principle of "guest first." Notably, the hotel also opens an indoor heated swimming pool and fitness center, allowing guests to maintain their exercise routine during travel. Business travelers can enjoy 24-hour executive lounge services. 2. Foodie Delight! Four Dining Brands Cover Ancient and Modern Flavors Huayi’s core competitiveness has always been the deep integration of "food" and "gathering." A must-visit upon opening is "Caifenglou," where exquisite Cantonese cuisine meets authentic, rich local Xianyang flavors. Signature dishes like "Jingwei Distinct Three Fresh Stew" and "Bin County Imperial Noodle Rolls" let you taste the regional culture. "Xianyan" all-day dining features an open kitchen where East meets West—try the meat sandwich with freshly ground coffee for breakfast or seafood barbecue with craft beer for dinner, satisfying diverse palates. Night owls shouldn’t miss "Mianjia," a Chinese noodle stall open until dawn. A bowl of Qishan minced meat noodles warms both stomach and heart, paired with traditionally brewed sour plum soup to instantly dispel travel fatigue. The brand’s specialty "Juming Yi" is a secret tea-tasting retreat hidden in the garden, where tea is brewed and discussed to the sound of the guzheng. White tea, Pu’er, and Fu tea pastries showcase the elegance of Chinese social culture. During the opening period, limited-time set menus are available, and spending a certain amount can earn IHG points—food lovers, don’t miss out! 3. Exceptional Transportation! A Three-Dimensional Hub of High-Speed Rail + Airport + Metro The location of Xianyang Huayi is truly a "golden C position": only 15 minutes from Xianyang International Airport, with exclusive check-in services in the lobby and direct luggage transfer to the terminal, making it possible to "eat lamb paomo in the morning and fly nationwide by noon." Even more exciting, Xianyang North Station on the Xi’an-Yinchuan High-Speed Rail is just 2 kilometers away, with an 18-minute direct ride from Xi’an North Station. The Metro Line 1 Phase 3 "Huayi Hotel Station" exit is less than 80 meters from the lobby and will open by the end of 2024, enabling a 30-minute direct connection to Xi’an’s main city—intercity travel is ready to go at any time. Nearby attractions are also very convenient. The hotel shuttle reaches Huitong Night Market in 15 minutes, where you can enjoy lamb skewers with Bingfeng soda in a lively local atmosphere.
