The Ritz-Carlton, Xi'an

Forbes-listed polish in the High-Tech Zone
- Check-in / out
- Check-in 15:00 / Check-out 12:00
The Ritz-Carlton, Xi'an is the city's polished business-district luxury hotel and the only Xi'an property listed by Forbes Travel Guide. It stands on Keji 2nd Road in Gaoxin, the High-Tech Zone southwest of the old city, and scores at the very top of TripAdvisor's luxury rankings. The whole fifth floor is The Ritz-Carlton Spa, with a Zen garden, couples' suites and an indoor pool; Jing Xuan serves Cantonese food alongside Shaanxi specialties, and Flair, the rooftop bar, adds cocktails, a sushi counter and city views. For sightseers the catch is location: Gaoxin is modern and quiet, but the [Bell Tower](/en/places/bell-tower), [Muslim Quarter](/en/places/muslim-quarter) and [Big Wild Goose Pagoda](/en/places/big-wild-goose-pagoda) all need a metro or taxi ride. It is about 36 km from Xianyang Airport. Pick it for top-tier service and a calm retreat, not for walking to sights.

Rooms, rates & who it's for
Luxury tier — and honest numbers first: no verified nightly rate exists for this page, so check ritzcarlton.com rather than third-party quotes. Expect real five-star money, with weekend rates in this business district often lower than midweek.
- What the spend buys: the city's most polished service (the only Forbes Travel Guide listing in Xi'an), a fifth-floor spa with indoor pool, and quiet rooms in a modern district
- Club Level rooms add lounge access
It's perfect for business travellers and for anyone who treats the hotel itself — spa, Jing Xuan, Flair cocktails at night — as the destination. If this is a first-time sightseeing blitz measured in steps walked, spend less and stay inside the wall.
Getting there & nearby
No metro station is confirmed for this address — the honest plan is taxis or DiDi, about 36 km in from Xianyang Airport.
- The Bell Tower and Muslim Quarter are 20–30+ minutes away by car or metro
- The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a similar ride
- What is walkable: Gaoxin itself — modern malls and quiet streets
This is a calm retreat base, not a doorstep-sights one; ride out in the morning, come back to the spa.
