The recently opened Sofitel Legend People’s Grand Hotel Xian is housed in a 71-roomand- suite heritage building that has been lovingly transformed into the first hotel in Greater China to join Sofitel’s exclusive ultra-luxe Legend collection.
It is the fifth Sofitel Legend property in the world. Features include an extensive garden setting, private health club, swimming pool and spa, authentic Italian restaurant, a rooftop Louis XIII bar, and private museum.

Ideally located inside the Ming Dynasty city walls at the heart of the city, the hotel is only 15-minute walk to the Forest of Steles or to the colorful Muslim Quarter.
