Sheraton Xian Hotel (Xian) |
www.sheraton.com/xian |
Ever a fan of the Sheraton chain,
Sheraton Xian doesn't fail to disappoint with luxury accommodation and
facilities on the edge of the old city section of Xian. Bit of a
walk from city centre- but cabs waiting in abundance outside the hotel.
Great restaurants and a terrific cocktail bar.

Manila Hotel (Manila) |
This grand old hotel has to be one of my favourites. The hotel's by-line 'tradition of elegance' says it all. Reflects the splendour of yesteryear providing the ultimate in comfort and care. The past abode of an array of famous characters. A secure and historic location. |
