Hilton (NYSE: HLT) announced the signing of the first LXR Hotels & Resorts property in China, marking the debut of the luxury brand in the country. In collaboration with Zhong Ding Guo Sheng, the LXR property is scheduled to open in 2027, in the heart of the historic and cultural city of Xi’an. This brand debut marks a significant milestone for Hilton to expand its luxury hotel portfolio in China.
Hilton has consistently kept pace with global travelers by continuously expanding its luxury hotel portfolio. Since LXR Hotels & Resorts’ debut in 2018, the brand has grown to a collection of 13 award-winning luxury properties around the world, each offering a distinctive hotel and resort experience defined by intriguing individual design, bespoke personal service, colorful characters, and cultural experiences. This unique collection of properties is designed for sophisticated global travelers who are passionate about exploring new places, seeking out authentic dining experiences, and embarking on heartfelt adventures while being pampered by a high level of personalized service and unparalleled amenities. The LXR Hotels & Resorts property joins Hilton’s existing luxury brands in China, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts and Conrad Hotels & Resorts. In addition to last year’s signing of Signia by Hilton in Greater China, Hilton will have four luxury brands in the region.
There are currently 33 luxury hotels trading and another 21 in the pipeline in the Greater China region, with the expectation of doubling the footprint of the trading hotels under the 4 brands in the coming years. Additionally, Hilton’s exclusive partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) complements its existing luxury accommodation options.
To meet rising guest demand for discerning adventure and personalized stay experiences, the LXR Hotels & Resorts hotel in Xi’an will feature 118 guest rooms, providing a luxurious hub for guests to explore this world-renowned capital of 13 ancient Chinese dynasties. The hotel will be located in the heart of Xi’an, within the bustling Datang Everbright City, and adjacent to eminent landmarks, such as the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, Dayan Pagoda and Daci’en Temple, allowing guests to easily explore the nearby attractions and immerse themselves in the historical charm of this ancient capital. Surrounded by a vibrant scene of contemporary commerce and Tang Dynasty-inspired architecture, the hotel’s neighborhood layout reflects the traditional grid of ancient Chang’an with a diverse mix of shopping, entertainment, and dining options, showcasing a harmonious fusion of traditional Eastern aesthetics and modern Chinese design.
With an emphasis on design, the hotel seamlessly blends the elegance of symmetry with the serenity of a sunken courtyard, offering guests a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle, where they can unwind and experience peaceful luxury.
The hotel’s dining offerings promise to be a journey of discovery, where local flavors are reimagined through a contemporary lens. Guests can indulge in an array of exceptional culinary experiences, blending the rich cultural heritage of Xi’an with modern gastronomic innovation. Catering to guest exercise preferences, the hotel will feature a swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a variety of wellness experiences, providing an ideal sanctuary for rejuvenating both body and mind.
