The 396-room Grand Hyatt Hotel is part of Maike Center, a greenfield mixed-use development comprising 5-star hotel and office towers connected via a 2-storey F&B bridge, sitting atop a shared retail podium. Drawing from the rich history of Xi’an as one of the “Four Great Ancient Capitals of China” and located at the eastern end of the Silk Road, the design concept for the hotel is inspired by the famous route’s rich, multi-cultural history, native colors of the textiles and spices traded across regions, and iconography of the desert, earth and adventurous spirit of those who traversed the route in search of new successes.
