HUALUXE Xi'an Tanghua by IHG

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is visible from the upper floors, which tells you something about where you're standing. This hotel in Xi'an's Qujiang district is built around a Tang-dynasty garden of willow-edged ponds, pavilions, and stone corridors, and the rooms, furnished in dark lacquered Ming style with barrel-backed chairs, read more like a scholar's retreat than a hotel. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected hotels.
