Where you stay in Xi'an determines what you wake up to — and in a food city like this, that matters. The main areas to consider are Bell Tower / Muslim Quarter, City centre and Near City Wall (South Gate). I've personally stayed at or visited every place listed below.
Excellent location steps from the Muslim Quarter and Bell Tower. Clean and modern.

Peng planned our entire two-week honeymoon across China. She found us a guide in Xi'an who brought the Terracotta Warriors to life in a way I'll never forget. Every detail was handled — train tickets, restaurant reservations, even a bouquet waiting at our hotel in Shanghai.

The Silk Road itinerary Peng put together was incredible. Dunhuang, Turpan, Kashgar — places I'd dreamed about but had no idea how to navigate. She arranged local guides who were actual historians. Came back with photos I'll treasure forever.
