A Hidden Luxury Retreat Under Xi'an's City Wall – Full Experience at Xi'an Platinum Victory Hotel

Upon arriving in Xi'an, I was instantly captivated by the city's profound history and vibrant atmosphere. When choosing accommodation, I was immediately drawn to Xi'an Platinum Victory Hotel (Bell & Drum Towers and Ming City Wall Branch), and this choice turned out to elevate my Xi'an trip to new heights of happiness. Stepping into the hotel lobby, I was amazed by the Shanghai-style decor—elegant champagne gold, cool peacock green, and warm retro tones blended together, creating a sophisticated yet lively ambiance perfect for photos. The front desk staff were warm, efficient, and even gave thoughtful recommendations for nearby attractions, instantly winning me over. I booked a Shanghai-style Deluxe King Room, which was incredibly spacious. The walk-in closet right at the entrance was a lifesaver for someone like me with lots of luggage. The room was fully equipped with smart features, including voice-controlled lighting, curtains, and even facial recognition, giving it a futuristic vibe. The extra-large two-meter bed with a 360° zero-pressure "King Koil" mattress ensured I slept soundly through the night. The highlight was the floor-to-ceiling panoramic window—sitting by it, I could admire the shimmering moat and the majestic city wall, soaking in the charm of this ancient capital. At sunset, the golden light streaming into the room created an unforgettable atmosphere. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, complete with a spacious bathtub. After a long day of exploring, a relaxing soak while watching free Tencent Video content was the perfect way to unwind. The complimentary minibar snacks and drinks were a delightful touch. The hotel's location is unbeatable—right downstairs is Hepingmen Station on Metro Line 4, just a few stops from the Bell Tower, Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, and Tang Dynasty Ever-Bright City. If you prefer, rent a bike and ride along the city wall, feeling the breeze of the ancient city. Across the street is the Dongcangmen Morning Market, where you can start your day with local Xi'an breakfast favorites like youcha mahua (savory tea with fried dough twists) and zengao (sticky rice cake). Nearby malls, supermarkets, and food streets make dining and shopping incredibly convenient, and a taxi ride to the Shaanxi History Museum costs just a few dollars. The hotel's amenities are top-notch, too. The 12th-floor gym is fully equipped, and the self-service laundry is a boon for long-term guests. Breakfast at Victory Hotel's Chinese restaurant offers a wide variety, from hulatang (spicy soup) and roujiamo (Chinese burgers) to Western options, catering to all tastes. My stay at Xi'an Platinum Victory Hotel exceeded expectations in every way—from the attentive service and comfortable rooms to the prime location. I’ll definitely choose it again on my next visit to Xi'an and highly recommend it to fellow travelers. I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it too!
