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. French flair combines with Chinese traditional hospitality to create a new legend. The People’s Grand Hotel Xian has played a special role in the city’s history within 9.8 acres of landscaped gardens with 12,000 trees and 4,000 birds, a true oasis. 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.
