Rosewood Hotels & Resorts is extending its presence deeper into China, revealing plans to open Rosewood Xi’an, an urban resort, in 2026. Located east of Xi’an’s Qujiang District, the property will provide leisure and business travellers alike with an ultra-luxury home base located in close proximity to major arts, shopping and tourism attractions.
Known as one of the world’s four ancient cities, Xi’an is the starting point of the historical Silk Road and home to the Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Other notable cultural sites nearby include the Du Lin Relics Park, Xi’an Botanical Garden and Grand White Deer Plain.
