Hyatt Regency Brand continues to expand in China with the opening of its new hotel in Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province in northwest China.

"We are thrilled to welcome back the Hyatt's Regency brand to this historic city, further reinforcing Hyatt's commitment to growing its brand presence in key cities around the world," Christopher Koehler, vice president and managing director of operations for China, said. He added that the 298-room hotel aims to become an avenue for connections and foster a dynamic, emerging place where guests are welcome to collaborate and find inspiration.

The 298-room Hyatt Regency hotel, which adopted a modern design that complements the traditional setting of one of China's oldest cities, stands in Quijiang District, according to Business Wire. Inspired primarily by the country's Tang Dynasty, the hotel features pitched ceilings, sprawling layouts around the grand lobby, and a receiving area lighted by a sea of fiery torches, which highly resemble the days when Xi'an was the gateway between China and the world through the Silk Road.

"Xi'an has long held a special place in the heart of Chinese civilization. As a native of Xi'an, it is my honor to welcome back new and former guests. This hotel allows them to truly experience the very best of our city and its incredible culture," General Manager Z. Du said.

Aside from art installations and inscribed room numbers, a tinge of modern elements are also evident in Hyatt's new hotel. Standard rooms are equipped with 48-inch TVs, in-room working desks, huge walk-in closets, fast wireless Internet access, and mobile phone docking stations as well as a stunning view of the Quijiang Lake.

The hotel also has 33 spacious suits with private balcony and access to the Regency Club lounge, which serves complimentary breakfast and happy hour refreshments, exclusive lake view terrace, and business and meeting room services, according to Business Wire.

Lastly, Hyatt Hotel's Presidential and Chairman's Suites feature a grass terrace, an exclusive outdoor pool, and in-room kitchen. The latter also has Jacuzzis and massage rooms.
