Sheraton Xi'an Chanba is probably the best value Sheraton in the world. During the off-season, the price is less than CNY 400 per night, and Titanium members are directly upgraded to a suite. The hotel has a swimming pool, lounge, and children's play area.
The location is very remote for locals, next to the Sand Boat Outlets. However, the advantage is that there is a subway, and Line 3 can take you directly there. Because it is very remote, parking is also very convenient.
The lounge is on the top floor and is open for afternoon tea and happy hour. There is a coffee machine, and you can ask the staff to make coffee, iced Americano, latte, etc., with beautiful latte art.
There are very few people during happy hour (probably because of the remote location), so there is no need to worry about a crowd. The variety of dishes is acceptable, and there are seafood dishes every day, such as seafood porridge, crab claws, and fried shellfish.
You can also ask the staff to make special cocktails, which are beautiful and delicious, and the quality is guaranteed.
Breakfast is very rich, with delicious roujiamo and beef paomo. The saozi noodles and oil-splashed chili noodles are very authentic and delicious. The breakfast is really delicious and rich.
Overall, for less than CNY 400 per night, you can eat and drink so much. What more could you want?

Xi'an | Sheraton Xi'an Chanba Hotel has a wide variety of breakfast options, quite surprising
🚗 Yesterday, I stayed at the Hualuxe Hotel under IHG and felt that the surrounding greenery was quite nice, so I wanted to experience this newly opened Sheraton. These hotels are all together, and there is also a Marriott Le Méridien Hotel by the Chanba River, which has relatively better scenery. However, considering the smog, I ultimately chose to stay at the Sheraton.
🚗 Check-in Experience
1. Like IHG, this building is also shared by Sheraton and Fairfield. Sheraton is on the upper floors, and Fairfield is on the lower floors.
2. Overall, it feels quite good, but there are not many commercial areas around, and the available takeout options are also limited.
3. I was upgraded to a corner room upon check-in, but it faces the light rail and the office building opposite. The room is quite large, but the layout is a bit strange. There is no power outlet next to the desk, making it inconvenient for work.
4. The lobby design is very unique, and I personally like this style. There doesn't seem to be much commercial activity around.
5. The lounge experience is quite good, with many options for evening happy hour, and most importantly, it's not crowded! Unlike hotels in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, which turn into markets on weekends and you have to wait for a seat!
6. The gym and pool are on the 25th floor, much better than IHG's basement. Although there is no view, the lighting is sufficient, purely a personal preference.
7. There are many breakfast options, which is very nice. However, there are also many people, and the restaurant staff doesn't seem very professional.
8. It is next to the outlet and convention center, but a bit farther than Hualuxe. Besides the outlet, there isn't much commercial activity, definitely a newly developed area. The overall greenery is still quite good, and it's nice to come for a day of leisure on weekends occasionally.
9. There is basically no traffic congestion around, but public transportation is not very convenient. Line 3 is close to the outlet, but you have to walk a bit. You can also hear the light rail from the hotel.
10. At night, there were always strange noises in the hallway, and around 7 am, a group of people were cheering or something, making a lot of noise in the hallway and making it hard to sleep. I called the front desk to ask, and the noise reduced but continued.

In Xi'an!! I stayed at the Life Hotel, yay
I chose a new hotel to try, and successfully upgraded to a suite through a nice chat.
1️⃣ Facilities: The advantage of a new hotel is that everything is new, and the style is quite nice, quite minimalist and grand. Even the hair dryer is a Dyson.
2️⃣ Service: The service attitude is very enthusiastic, and because there are fewer people, the quality of service is relatively guaranteed.
3️⃣ Dining: The breakfast and HH are quite abundant, and the afternoon tea at the lobby bar is very cost-effective, it's just that I didn't have the chance to try it.
4️⃣ Location: It's a bit of a drawback, relatively remote, far from tourist attractions, and not near the river, definitely not suitable for a vacation. It's probably meant to complement the convention center in the future. It's still very close to the subway Wu Zhuang station and the Sand Ship Outlet.

Marriott's Room Brushing Holy Land - Xi'an Chanba Sheraton Hotel
This hotel is indeed quite remote and the surrounding area is rather desolate, but it is indeed a good choice for room brushing. The regular price is less than 400 yuan, with an executive lounge, large suites, strong fitness facilities, and a seamless switch to the nearby Fairfield by Marriott. The dining is also quite good, what else can you be dissatisfied with?
Because it's cheap, it has been quite popular recently. Under the gathering of high-tier members, there were no suites available on the day of check-in. However, I went to check in late, and the front desk lady checked and said that there was a room that had just been checked out and not yet cleaned, asking if I wanted to wait? Of course, I decided to wait and went to the lounge to use the Happy Hour, which was quite good. After all, there is a big difference between a suite and a non-suite. The lady at the front desk escorted me to the lounge, and about half an hour later, she brought the room card. The service was very good, thank you.
During this stay, I was in a 95 square meter executive suite. I found that the hotels in Chanba area all like to round off the corners. Whether it's the Hualuxe or the Sheraton Fairfield, the windows are all curved. From the floor plan, you can see that the building section is a rounded triangle, with two executive suites per floor. The other suite probably has a better view.
Entering the door, there is the living room in front, the guest bathroom and wardrobe on the left, and the bedroom, master bathroom, and cloakroom on the right. The guest bathroom has a PG vertical washbasin, a spacious vanity, and a regular toilet.
The living room is very large, with a spectacular curved floor-to-ceiling window. However, the view is not good due to the building obstruction, but it's fine as long as there is a suite available. The sofa set in the reception area is very beautiful, and the welcome fruit plate is also nice, but this hotel does not have small toys.
Further inside is the mini-bar, a four-person dining table that also serves as a desk. This table can also be raised and lowered, but the quality is much better than the Sheraton in the high-tech zone, at least it doesn't wobble. However, this setup is not very suitable for sitting for a long time.
The mini-bar has a capsule coffee machine with 4 capsules, free water from Zhongnan Mountain, tea bags from Dilmah, and a small fridge that is quite full but charges a fee.
The cloakroom has only one luggage rack, but there is plenty of space. The bedroom has a bench at the end of the bed and a sofa by the window. The spliced orange tone is quite homely and warm. There is a sliding door between it and the master bathroom, which feels more transparent when opened. Overall, it is also a Sheraton with a refreshed style. However, the quality of the decoration feels much stronger than the one in the high-tech zone, at least there is no problem with sound insulation.
The master bathroom has only a single basin, an embedded bathtub with a shelf, bath salts, and a headrest. Except for the guest bathroom vanity, everything else used is from Messwen, which is of average quality. Especially pay attention to the shower head in the shower room, it looks like a Dyson, and when turned on, it blows water with a very strong force that can scare people. The body feel is not good, the top spray is okay, but Sheraton's new amenities, especially the shampoo, are really bad for the hair and too difficult to use.
It's a pity that this hotel did not install a smart toilet. Overall, the bathroom facilities are of a lower grade, but aside from these, it is still satisfying.
