The only Sofitel Legend hotel in China and one of only six worldwide!

Having stayed many times at the Sofitel Legend Xi'an, this time I encountered its autumn colors. The ginkgo leaves are yellow, and the courtyard is beautiful. Sofitel Legend Xi'an is one of only six Sofitel Legend hotels globally, the second in Asia, and the only one in China. Over the years, I have watched the room rates of this hotel gradually rise, and it has now become one of the top three hotels in Xi'an by average room price, as well as one of the few luxury hotels in the city. The hotel is located in the People's Mansion building, which was built in 1953 and was once an important venue for hosting heads of state and dignitaries in Xi'an, giving it a rich historical background. The hotel is small, with only about 70 rooms, blending French elegance with the royal charm of Xi'an. Another major feature of the hotel is that all rooms include executive privileges, allowing guests to enjoy free afternoon tea and happy hour at the lobby bar. The space is small but refined, with a great dining atmosphere. I personally really like this hotel. The only slight regret is that the hotel's dining options are not outstanding; the Italian restaurant has not really taken off. However, if you want to eat Chinese food, you can go to the Chinese restaurant at the Sofitel hotel in the same courtyard. Also, the Louis XIII bar on the top floor has never officially opened since its launch and remains vacant, only being used occasionally for events.
