W Xi'an Hotel

Every one of the 372 rooms comes with a private balcony over Qujiangchi Lake, which sounds like a marketing line until you realize it holds across all 22 floors. This W Hotel plays the brand's signature maximalist hand: teal walls, patterned cushions, marble bathrooms with round mirrors the size of wagon wheels. WEI has open kitchens and theatrical plating, YEN handles Huaiyang fine dining under sculptural pendant lights, and WOOBAR does what WOOBARs do.
