The Ritz-Carlton, Xi'an
Xi'an, China · Ritz-Carlton · High Luxury
Opened in 2019 in Xi'an's Gaoxin Hi-Tech District, the Ritz-Carlton was designed by WATG as part of a mixed-use complex with 50,000 square metres of luxury retail below 24 tower levels of hotel rooms, an unusually layered vertical city for a brand more accustomed to standalone heritage buildings. The rooftop bar Flair sits on the 27th floor, looking out across a skyline that served as capital for 13 Chinese dynasties.

About The Ritz-Carlton, Xi'an
- WATG stacked 24 high-rise hotel levels above four floors of luxury retail on a 50,000-square-metre site, one of the denser mixed-use programs for a Ritz-Carlton in mainland China.
- Xi'an was capital of China under 13 dynasties and the eastern terminus of the Silk Road; the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang lies 35 kilometres from the hotel.
- Remedios Studio designed the interiors with motifs drawn from Silk Road artisan traditions, an unusual brief for a brand whose flagships are more often rooted in European or colonial aesthetics.
History
The Ritz-Carlton Xi'an opened in 2019 in one of China's ancient capitals, home to 13 imperial dynasties and the Terracotta Army. It blends the city's historic Silk Road heritage with its modern tech hub status in the Gaoxin District. The design draws from local culture through artisan motifs and traditional elements.
The setting
The Ritz-Carlton, Xi'an anchors No. 50 Keji 2nd Road in the Gaoxin Hi-Tech Development Zone, a prestigious corridor in southern Xi'an that has evolved from a 1991 state-designated innovation zone into the city's leading financial and luxury district. Adjacent to a fellow landmark hotel on the same block, the property commands sweeping city skyline views from its rooftop bar, while the Tang Dynasty Wall Site Park — a linear green space preserving ancient imperial-city ramparts — lies nearby. Keji Road's luxury retail and dining destinations are steps away, Metro Line 3 provides city-wide access, and Xi'an International Airport is approximately 35 minutes by car.
