The Sofitel Legend Peoples Grand Hotel is set on the former Imperial Palace grounds in the heart of Xian, a Chinese town shrouded in ancient history. Originally established in 1953, the hotel has been completely refurbished, reopening its doors as a luxury hotel in 2014.
When searching for a great Italian, you'd probably be on the lookout for anaromatic wood-fired oven or a mouth-watering antipasti table, well restaurant Dolce Vita has both. Headed up by chef Andrea Zamboni from inside an open kitchen, you can indulge in Italian classics for lunch or dinner. The relaxed vibe of the lobby lounge, 1953, provides a comfortable and elegant gathering place for cocktails or afternoon tea, Asian and Western favourites and light snacks. Other facilities include a heated indoor pool, fitness centre, hotel museum, bicycles, Tai Chi on the lawn, spa with sauna and Jacuzzi, babysitting on request, Wi-Fi access throughout and a range of concierge services.
