About

Xijiao State Guest Hotel

Xijiao Hotel has hosted world leaders and royalty, but has always been publicity shy. Well, that’s changing.

I stayed there a couple weeks ago. To summarize my experience, Xijiao is a wonder to behold. Its seemingly unending property of rolling landscapes and gardens, rooms and villas (118 of them), and monolithical facilities are as impressive as it is bewildering. Not to mention the curious history and the Rolodex of dignitaries who have graced the property, including even Mao Zedong.

I know “transports you to an oasis” comes off slight, but really, the winding drive from the street entrance is far away enough from traffic to prove thus. It’s really peaceful here.

Xijiao has plenty of gardens where you can walk through, passing by ponds and lakes, a duck feeding platform, pagodas, and army barracks. Very few people (expats) have heard of this place, but to those in the know, it’s the official port of call for government, hence, the precautions.  

Huxin Pavilion, situated on the bank of Swan Lake.

The best thing about Xijiao is the serene grounds. It is absolutely quiet here, save for the sounds emitted from the property’s feathered friends.

House No.7 is the main hotel and reception area. The building has 187 guest rooms and dining outlets Peony restaurant for International, Chinese and Asian buffet, Magnolia Chinese restaurant and a modest bar. This is where you check in.
