HUAQING PALACE RESORT & SPA

The location of the hotel at the site of the historic Huaqing Palace is incredible. The stay includes a Tang photography style photoshoot with a superb makeup artist and photographer from Jinghong Travel Photography. They’re so professional and the style of makeup is done akin to actual makeup during the Tang Dynasty so it’s very natural. I’ve done a couple traditional Chinese photoshoots and this has been by far my favorite, due to its location at the palace grounds and the amazing staff. The stay itself was wonderful - the staff leave red date soup or white woodear soup in your rooms in the evenings and turn on the private hot springs for you each night. They’re extremely friendly and accommodating - going above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay.

The location of this hotel is very exclusive. Yet it is right next to the tourist attraction. The hot spring baths are wonderful. We enjoyed our stay. (Please do note that there is time limit for the private hot spring availability in the guest room. It only runs from evening till midnight.)

Great location. Highly recommended. Direct connection to Huaqing Palace!

Love the resort for the hot springs that doesn’t have much of the sulphur smell. They provide a hot dessert every night but it might be too sweet for the elderly. Fruits, water and drinks are FOC and replaced daily. The place is not really elderly friendly but they have a buggy that drives them around, they even lent us a wheelchair for our whole stay. Really appreciate the help from the butler Sun Tao for also arranging our express checkout early in the wee hours to catch our flight. The restaurant serves really delicious food but service is very inconsistent. House cleaning is not the most attentive as they keep forgetting there’s three instead of two of us staying in the room. There’s bathrobes and even a set of hotel clothes to change to for the outdoor hot spring. Room slippers and bathroom slippers are provided. There’s the usual amenities like shampoo, conditioner and shower gel from Loccitane and there’s comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. Note that the music from the 长恨歌 show can be quite loud at night. Location is near to terracotta but a distance from city center. Overall, would definitely consider going back to this hotel if I’m in Xi’an.

Excellent service, very friendly staff and beautiful views.

Best night of my life. Great hotel, attentive staff, comfortable, and great for photos. Recommend to all!
