A modern love letter to Shanghai’s heritage
By a curator of Xi’an’s living history — who believes that the best hotels don’t just offer rooms, they offer chapters in your journey.
🏯 The Birth of a Legend: From Tang Dynasty Dreams to 21st-Century Comfort
In the heart of Xi’an — where emperors once ruled, poets composed odes, and Silk Road caravans paused to rest — Xitang Hotel (Xi’an Dayan Tower Datang Buyecheng) was born not as a mere lodging, but as a bridge between past and present. Opened in 2013 and thoughtfully renovated in 2022, our hotel is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a living tribute to the Tang Dynasty’s golden age — a time when Xi’an, then called Chang’an, was the world’s largest and most cosmopolitan city.
The name “Xitang” — which translates to “West Hall” or “Western Courtyard” — evokes the elegant pavilions and tranquil gardens of ancient imperial estates. “Datang Buyecheng” — meaning “Great Tang Night Market City” — nods to the vibrant, lantern-lit bazaars that once thrived under Tang rule. Together, these names whisper of a legacy we honor daily — not through grandiose reenactments, but through quiet reverence for history, thoughtful design, and warm, family-like hospitality.
📍 Why This Location? Because History Chose It First
We didn’t choose this location — history chose it for us.
Nestled at No.2089 Ci’en West Road, North Square of Dayan Pagoda, Xitang Hotel stands on sacred ground. Just steps away lies the Big Wild Goose Pagoda — built in 652 AD to house Buddhist scriptures brought from India by the monk Xuanzang. For over 1,300 years, this pagoda has watched over Xi’an, witnessing dynasties rise and fall, wars and peace, silence and celebration.
Our founders saw this not as a challenge — but as an opportunity. To build a hotel here meant embracing responsibility: to preserve the spirit of the place, to serve travelers with the same grace that once welcomed Silk Road merchants, and to ensure that every guest leaves not just rested — but transformed.
As one returning guest wrote after a decade-long absence:
“I first stayed here 10 years ago. A decade later, I returned with my children — and found the same warmth, the same care. They upgraded us to a room with a view of the pagoda… the night view was simply breathtaking.”
That’s the essence of our story: consistency in care, rooted in place.
🛎️ Our Philosophy: Warmth Over Grandeur, Service Over Show
At Xitang Hotel, we believe luxury isn’t measured in chandeliers or marble floors — but in moments. The moment a staff member notices you’re traveling with children and upgrades you to a scenic room. The moment the front desk offers you a complimentary gift upon departure. The moment you wake to the sound of the morning bell ringing at the pagoda — and realize you’re standing exactly where history began.
We are proud to be rated 9.4/10 by 14,232 guests — with 9.5/10 for service — because our team doesn’t just work here — they live the values of the Tang era: respect, generosity, and harmony.
One guest captured it perfectly:
“The staff, especially the young lady at the front desk, had an exceptionally good attitude. They even provided a small complimentary gift upon departure.”
This isn’t scripted service — it’s heartfelt hospitality, passed down like a treasured heirloom.
🧭 How We’ve Grown — Without Losing Our Soul
When we opened in 2013, we were a modest 4-star hotel with 181 rooms. But we weren’t content to simply provide beds — we wanted to provide experiences. So in 2022, we underwent a full renovation — not to erase our roots, but to refine them.
- Rooms: Thoughtfully redesigned to blend modern comfort with subtle Tang-inspired touches — think wooden accents, muted earth tones, and views that frame the pagoda like a living painting.
- Dining: “Xitang Yan” restaurant evolved from a simple eatery into a culinary destination, serving authentic Shaanxi dishes alongside Western favorites — all prepared with the same care that once graced imperial banquets.
- Services: We added a business center, conference rooms, and child-friendly amenities — because we know today’s traveler is multifaceted: a parent, a professional, a historian, a dreamer.
Yet, despite growth, we’ve never lost sight of what matters most: you.
