Favoured haunt of many Chinese leaders and royalty it offers an enticing diversity of culinary attractions, the Dolce Vita restaurant having a wood-fired pizza oven and serving fabulous
Italian delights accompanied by Italian cocktails. Meet up on the intimate terrace for a romantic candlelit diner overlooking the gardens. For Asian and Western snacks or timeless afternoon tea, the Lobby Lounge is a popular rendezvous. Enjoy a revitalizing massage after seeing the city’s sights. The hotel is close to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda as well as being a forty five minute drive from the Terracotta Warriors.
China’s climate varies greatly but is characterised by hot summers and cold winters. The most popular months to visit are April, May, September and October when temperatures are at their most pleasant.
