Sheraton Xi'an, a memory that won't disappoint.

Where to stay in Xi'an? After some hesitation, I chose the "Sheraton Xi'an". I remember staying here frequently on business trips to Xi'an in 2008-2009, but then more hotels opened in Xi'an and the company moved to the High-tech Zone, so I never stayed here again. Coming back again, I was not disappointed: 🏨 The same simple courtyard, the same "Xi'an Restaurant" downstairs, everything seems to have never changed. The hotel opened in 1991 and should be one of the first "Sheratons" in China. It has a rich history and is still going strong. 🛏️ I booked a basic room and was upgraded to an executive suite (P3-7). The executive floor was renovated later and got rid of the original "simplicity". The executive floor is on the lower floor and the standard rooms are on the upper floors. 🍹 The lounge is also in the style of an old hotel, with a very spacious space (P8-9). There are no staff outside of Happy Hour, you need to swipe your card to enter. There are large bottles of drinks, beer, and cookies, but no canned drinks. Breakfast is not provided. From 17:00 to 19:00 during Happy Hour, there are noodle stalls and various main courses and desserts that are enough to fill you up. One day, they also made a big pot of "Meicai Kourou". Roujiamo, Liangpi, and Heshi are standard every day. For canned drinks such as soda and ginger ale, you still need to ask the waiter. 🥗 Breakfast is on the first floor (P10-13). There are no waiters to seat you, you can sit anywhere. I don't like this, after all, many people's eyes are just decorations and have no practical use. It happened once that someone else sat in my seat when I got up to get food. Breakfast is of the same standard as similar hotels. In a food paradise like Xi'an, you really can't eat too much for breakfast except for some fruits and vegetables. You have to save your quota for more delicious food outside. The coffee is commendable, and they have prepared a good selection of black coffee! 🚖 The hotel is located in the west of Xi'an city, so the location is a shortcoming. The surrounding area is not so prosperous for some reasons, and there is currently no subway. But in the face of cost performance and professional services, these are not problems. It is 2 kilometers away from "Datang Xishi", which is within walking distance.
