Mandarin Oriental has announced plans to open a new urban resort in Xi’an, China, in 2029. The development is part of a management agreement and will be the company’s first urban resort in Northwestern China.
The resort will be situated in Xi’an, a city with a rich historical background, known for landmarks such as the Terracotta Warriors. The property will feature 166 rooms and suites, each with outdoor terraces and views, as well as access to natural hot springs. Additionally, the resort will include seven villas, each equipped with private terraces and pools.
The resort will offer a range of amenities, including The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, which will provide wellness, beauty, and massage treatments. Facilities will include hot spring pavilions and a 50-meter indoor-outdoor infinity pool. The hotel will also feature five dining options, including a Chinese specialty restaurant and a 1,200-square-meter ballroom with outdoor terraces.
ACPV Architects is responsible for the design of the resort, handling both architecture and interiors. The design will incorporate natural materials and reflect Xi’an’s cultural heritage.
The resort will also include various guest experiences such as children’s facilities, an art and culture gallery, a library, a retail boutique, and entertainment options.
