Known as one of the “Four Great Ancient Capitals of China” together with Nanjing, Luoyang and Beijing, Xi’an served as the eastern entrance of the Silk Road trading route, connecting the Han Dynasty in China to the west. The trading route, with its rich history, enduring spirit and multi-cultural handicrafts, is where LTW drew its inspiration from.
LTW Designworks, the award-winning interior design studio behind some of the world’s most iconic hospitality projects, recently unveiled the design of the newly opened Grand Hyatt Xi’an.
Known as one of the “Four Great Ancient Capitals of China” together with Nanjing, Luoyang and Beijing, Xi’an served as the eastern entrance of the Silk Road trading route, connecting the Han Dynasty in China to the west. The trading route, with its rich history, enduring spirit and multi-cultural handicrafts, is where LTW drew its inspiration from.
In particular, LTW referenced the Chinese idiom, “a great hawk spreads its wings”, to create a strong and iconic motif that symbolises hope, success and new beginnings. You can see this on full display in the hotel’s lobby, which is enveloped by a feather-like feature wall that forms wing-like motifs. The deserts around the ancient Silk Road was also a source of ideas for the designers, with the grand curved staircase in the pre-function area mimicking grand, sweeping sand dunes. Go deeper into the hotel, and guests will find the hotel’s spa — not unlike an oasis amidst the desert waste lands.
Grand Hyatt Xi’an itself is not short on amenities, either. The hotel is well appointed with 396 guestrooms and suites, with a whole host of public areas, restaurants, spa and wellness centres, ballrooms and meeting facilities.
Grand Hyatt Xi’an is the fourth Grand Hyatt project by LTW, with the others being Sanya, Dalian and Changsha.
