What good hotels are there in Xi 'an? Luxury hotels are also divided into 369 classes, and the best one in Accor is called Legend
Do you still use 3-star, 4-star and 5-star to distinguish hotels?
It's early, especially in luxury hotels. Hanging stars is no longer popular. For example, the one in Sanya, if you give it five stars, people don't hang up, because everyone naturally understands.
In fact, even five-star hotels and luxury hotels will be classified into three categories. The luxury hotel brands that we are familiar with are actually different in level, positioning and culture.
Take Accor as an example. Sofitel, Meijing Pavilion, SO, Legend, Fermon, Swiss, Raffles ... are all luxury brands.
but the best one is only legend.
Sofitel Legend Series has only five semicolons in the world (Xi 'an, Hanoi, Amsterdam, Aswan and Cartagena Santa Clara).
It's not easy to become a legend. The threshold that the main building must be more than 51 years old and have a certain historical story restricts a lot of hotels.
Sofitel legend in Xi 'an, China is the only legend in China.
A few days ago, I went to live in Sofitel Legend in Xi 'an.
The reason was to participate in the live broadcast activities of People's Daily Online and Xi 'an Municipal Government. The hotel was arranged in Datang West City Hotel. I wanted to stay more distinctive, so I moved to Sofitel Legend.
I've been to Xi 'an many times before, but I haven't had a chance to live in this legend. It's a dream come true this time.
As soon as the results are compared, there is no harm if there is no comparison. Sofitel legend and Datang West Market are not a little better.
I have said more than once that the best hotel in Xi 'an is Sofitel Legend. I have also said more than once that Accor's four most worthwhile hotels in China definitely have Sofitel legend in Xi 'an.
The other three are Raffles in Shenzhen, Peace Hotel in Shanghai, and Meijing Pavilion in Songzanlinka, Shangri-La, which have been revoked.
Therefore, it is a ritual thing to live in Sofitel Legend in Xi 'an.
this Sofitel legend is in a good location.
within the city wall of Xi' an, near the provincial government, it is a very old city center. Walk to the city wall for 8 minutes, walk to Huimin Street for 11 minutes, and walk to the bell tower.
it is very suitable for travelers who arrive in Xi' an for the first time or come to Xi' an specially.
Actually, Accor's hotels in Xi 'an have a good layout. There are hotels in several important tourist attractions in Xi 'an (Huimin Street, Bell Tower, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Qujiang ...), as well as Gaoxing District and Accor.
I am used to calling the People's Mansion, where Sofitel legend is located, Accor Courtyard.
Who let all the hotels in this courtyard be Accor departments?
building 1 is called legend, building 2 is luxury mercure (grand mercure, building 3 is mercure, building 5 is Sofitel, building n is Chinese restaurant and conference hall, and building m is People's Grand Theatre.
The whole courtyard is owned by the owner's father, and the cooperation with Accor is not bad, so we just gave the whole courtyard to Accor.
The No.1 building where Sofitel Legend is located was built in 1953.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xi 'an was the center of building the northwest, so we built such a building next to the provincial government to house the experts who helped us from the Soviet Union.
It was originally called "Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee Guest House", which is the original Xi 'an State Guesthouse.
At first, there was only Building No.1, but later I couldn't live in it, so I slowly built the whole Accor compound.
Accor took over Building 1 of People's Mansion in 2114, and then changed it to Sofitel Legend.
The architectural style of this building is very special, combining Chinese, French and Russian styles.
The exterior of the main building is permeated with the grandeur of Russian architecture.
A large number of French national flowers, Vetiveria zizanioides, are used as elements in the building, which highlights the strong French style.
Chinese style is reflected in the whole compound. The octagonal pavilion with glazed tiles, the street lamps of magnolia, and a large area of ginkgo in the yard ...
If you come to live in the autumn when ginkgo is yellow, it should be very beautiful.
Because it was Accor's gold card, the room was upgraded to the deluxe prime minister's room (61. Room 61 can be good in this historic building.
The top member of Accor Department has too little platinum, so the platinum treatment is quite guaranteed. There are few gold cards at the next level, and they are generally upgraded to the next level according to regulations.
This upgrade doesn't show much value in ordinary hotels, but in hotels like Sofitel Legend, the upgrade is at least 511+.
Here's a little spoiler. Accor Double 11 will be added to the gameplay, which will be a good opportunity for everyone to quickly challenge Accor's top members.
So, please upgrade to the F3 of Flying Pig as soon as possible.
after all, it's a legend, and it's kind and cost-free.
toiletries Hermes, pure water is Evian, bathrobe embroidered with Logo, fruit is delivered every day, and newspapers are replenished every day; Snacks in the mini-bar, drinks in the refrigerator are all free, and there is afternoon tea and HappyHour every evening, which is free for all hotel guests.
Legend has 71 rooms, and it's okay to give them all administrative treatment.
There will be a butler in every room, and there is a button on the landline that goes directly to the butler. You can go directly to your butler instead of the front desk for all your needs.
It is said that the housekeeper can help you make tea, shine shoes and pack your luggage. I was not shy, so I asked the housekeeper to show me around the hotel.
A hotel with a story like Sofitel Legend really needs someone to show it around.
The bar on the top floor of the hotel is called Louis XIII, which is full of incredibly expensive Remy Martin.
The treasure of the town store is LouisXIII Black Precious Crystal, which is locked up. How much is a bottle? I can't afford it even if I ask.
The Xi 'an People's Grand Theatre in the hotel is a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit in Xi 'an. Master Mei Lanfang has performed here, and Premier Zhou has also seen a play here.
It's still in use at present. If you are lucky on the day you go to live, you may meet the performance.
The only restaurant in the legend is called Roman Holiday. It is said that the People's Building where the hotel is located was built in 1953, and the film Roman Holiday was also released in 1953.
On the one hand, there is only one restaurant, because there is not enough space in the old historical building, and too many catering facilities will affect the structure of the building. On the other hand, there is no shortage of restaurants in the elegant courtyard. Sofitel has a full-time restaurant and a Japanese restaurant. There is also a Chinese restaurant in the yard; These are all public.
I had breakfast on a Roman holiday. The legendary breakfast is mainly a la carte. You can eat any famous snacks in Xi 'an in the breakfast room.
There is also a small mini museum on the 1th floor, which mainly introduces past lives of the People's Building.
The rooftop on the top floor is also good, which is a good angle to see the compound, the provincial government and the octagonal building.
This should be regarded as a hidden point of a hotel. Most people will not climb the stairs when staying in a hotel. The elevator only goes to the seventh floor, and then you can go up one floor through the stairs.
Xi 'an city wall is limited in height, and there are no tall buildings, so you can still see a lot of things on the top floor of Sofitel Legend.
then there is the gym and swimming pool on the first floor. Not big, but exquisite and photogenic.
If you live in Sofitel Legend in Xi 'an, you must stay for a few more days.
This hotel is full of stories, and all the photos you take at random are good. You should leave more time for it, and don't rush by.
This legend should have offered good prices several times this year, and so have I.
if you go to Xi' an, the legend of Sofitel is worth a try, and let yourself live in the legend.
