W Xi'an is the city's most talked-about design hotel and, on combined Trip.com, Booking, Agoda and TripAdvisor scores, its highest-rated: about 9.7 out of 10 across nearly 10,000 reviews. It overlooks [Qujiang Pool](/en/places/qujiang-pool-park), the lake park in the southeast of the city, and all 372 rooms and suites, on floors 5 to 26, have step-out balconies. The design riffs on Tang-era Chang'an through bold colour and custom art. Dining includes YEN, a Huaiyang fine-dining Chinese restaurant, the all-day restaurant and WOOBAR with The Balcony terrace above the water. There is an AWAY Spa, the WET indoor pool and a summer outdoor wading pool. It is a resort-like base rather than a walkable one: the [Big Wild Goose Pagoda](/en/places/big-wild-goose-pagoda) and [Tang Paradise](/en/places/tang-paradise) are a short ride away, the [Bell Tower](/en/places/bell-tower) much further, and the airport about 55 km.

Rooms, rates & who it's for
Design tier, typically ¥1,200–1,800 a night — and unlike most hotels at that price, all 372 rooms and suites, floors 5 to 26, have step-out balconies with views over Qujiang.
- The theatrical package: bold Tang-era-inspired interiors, AWAY Spa, the WET indoor pool and a summer outdoor wading pool
- The highest combined guest score in the city — about 9.7 across nearly 10,000 reviews
It's perfect for couples, design lovers and anyone who wants a resort holiday inside Xi'an rather than a bed next to the sights. If you picture stepping out to breakfast and bar-hopping through the old town on foot, this is the wrong splurge: the Bell Tower is much further away, and you'll live in taxis.
Getting there & nearby
No metro station is confirmed for this address; taxis and DiDi are the way in. From Xianyang Airport, about 55 km out, pre-book the hotel's W Wheels transfer at around ¥228 one way. Orientation is easy: the hotel overlooks Qujiang Pool, and the lake is the landmark — the heritage park beside it handles the morning walks.
- The Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Tang Paradise are short rides
- So is the Grand Tang Ever-Bright City nightscape
- The Bell Tower and Muslim Quarter are much further — plan those evenings around a taxi
Questions, answered
Where is W Xi'an?
At 333 Qujiang Chi East Road in Qujiang New District, beside Qujiang Pool Heritage Park in southeast Xi'an.
Do all rooms at W Xi'an have balconies?
Marriott describes the 372 rooms as featuring step-out balconies with views over Qujiang.
How do I get from Xi'an airport to W Xi'an?
It's about 55 km. The hotel's W Wheels car service costs about ¥228 one way and must be booked; otherwise take a taxi or DiDi.
Can I walk to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda from W Xi'an?
It's a short taxi ride rather than a walk. W Xi'an is a resort-like base beside Qujiang Pool, not a pagoda-side one; if stepping straight out to the pagoda fountain matters, the Westin on Ci'en Road is the walkable alternative.
