Sofitel Xi'an on Renmin Square is the big, dependable five-star inside the Ming city wall, and on TripAdvisor it heads the city's overall 'best hotels' ranking with thousands of reviews. It shares the Renmin Square complex on Dong Xin Street with its heritage sibling, the [Sofitel Legend](/en/hotels/sofitel-legend-peoples-grand-xian), but is the modern half: 178 rooms, suites and apartments, Sofitel MY BED, Club Sofitel benefits and access to some 40,000 m² of landscaped gardens. Dining runs from Azur's Mediterranean all-day buffet with an open kitchen to Le Chinois, which serves Shaanxi and Cantonese cuisine, plus Bar Bambu. There is a spa, indoor heated pool and gym. Metro Lines 1 and 4 are about five minutes' walk, the [Bell](/en/places/bell-tower) and [Drum Towers](/en/places/drum-tower) around 1.5 km, and the airport roughly 45 minutes by car. It suits travellers who want international comfort with the old city on foot.

Sofitel vs Sofitel Legend
- Same address and gardens
- Renmin Square: larger, modern, more family-friendly pricing
- Legend: 1953 heritage building, butler service, higher rates
Rooms, rates & who it's for
Luxury tier at its most dependable: typically ¥1,000–1,400 a night across 178 rooms, suites and apartments.
- The rare city-centre bonus: some 40,000 m² of shared landscaped gardens — in most cities that's a park with a hotel in it
- Sofitel MY BED comfort, Club Sofitel benefits, indoor heated pool, spa and gym
- Family-friendly pricing next door to its heritage sibling
It's perfect for first-time visitors who want the old city on foot with an international fallback, and for families who need space without paying heritage-building prices. If you'd pay extra to sleep in the 1953 People's Grand Hotel itself, the Sofitel Legend next door is your hotel; everyone else enjoys the same gardens here for less.
