Pet-Friendly Hotels in Xi'an?
4 Stays That Actually Allow Pets, Policy Checked

Only a few — honestly, <strong>most central Xi'an chain hotels around the Bell Tower / South Gate / Muslim Quarter don't allow pets</strong> (Atour Bell Tower / South Gate / Yongningli, Orange and Echarm Bell Tower all say no). In the city, the ones that genuinely do, with a clear score, are <strong>W Xi'an</strong>, a design hotel in Qujiang (on request · 9.7), and <strong>lyf Dayanta by Ascott</strong>, a serviced apartment near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda (free on request · 9.4) — the ones with the most formal policy are <strong>Hyatt Centric Gaoxin</strong> to the west and the hot-spring resort <strong>Angsana Lintong</strong> out in Lintong · either way, confirm the policy with the property before booking.

<strong>Hyatt Centric Gaoxin</strong> has the clearest — it takes a dog or cat up to 25 kg, with a ¥288/pet/night fee, in designated rooms only, providing a bed/bowls/lead/litter tray/scratching post (no exotic pets) · then <strong>Angsana Xi'an Lintong</strong>, which takes one dog or cat ≤30 kg with a ¥380/room/night cleaning fee and a rabies certificate at check-in, providing a bed/bowls · <strong>W Xi'an</strong> and <strong>lyf Dayanta</strong> take pets 'on request' (W lists pets allowed on Trip.com · lyf is free) — confirm the rules / fee with the property before booking.

Because <strong>we keep this a straight list and don't pad it to fill a number</strong> — the Xi'an stays with a verifiable pet policy, a clear review score of ≥9.0, and no conflicting information come to about this many · we cut anything with conflicting information, such as <strong>Ibis Bell Tower</strong> (one source says pets free, another says no), <strong>Ramada Bell Tower</strong> and <strong>Manxin Bell Tower</strong> (some branches take pets for ¥59 while others / certain dates list no pets), and anything without a clear score, such as <strong>Echarm Datang</strong> and <strong>HOME++</strong> · we think a short list where every place can be verified is more useful than a longer one with vague-policy stays mixed in.

<strong>Xi'an has a metro with several lines, but as a general rule you can't take a dog or cat on it</strong> (service animals aside) — get your pet around by taxi and DiDi (hail it in the app, pay by WeChat / Alipay · tell the driver you have a pet and use a carrier / crate, some won't take animals) or a hotel transfer · the pet-friendly hotels here are spread across several zones: Hyatt Centric is out in Gaoxin to the west · W and lyf are in Qujiang / Datang · Angsana is in Lintong, ~40 minutes to the east (no metro, the resort can arrange a transfer) · Xianyang Airport (XIY) is ~40km to the NW.

Bringing a pet into China has separate quarantine and paperwork rules (e.g. an animal health certificate, a rabies vaccination certificate, and possibly quarantine on entry) — <strong>the rules change and vary by the port / city of entry, so always check the latest with a Chinese embassy or China Customs before you travel</strong> · some properties, like Angsana Lintong, also ask for a copy of the rabies certificate at check-in · this list is about 'hotels that allow pets', not the country's import rules · for people already travelling with a pet in China, this list helps you find a stay that takes your pet in Xi'an · see the overview for planning a China trip in the <a href="/en/country-china">China Travel Guide</a>.

A range — from <strong>¥520</strong> (lyf Dayanta, a serviced apartment with a kitchen · ฿2,600) and <strong>¥600</strong> (Hyatt Centric Gaoxin · ฿3,000 + a ¥288/pet/night fee) for sensible budgets, up to the resort and luxury hotels <strong>¥1,100</strong> (Angsana Lintong hot springs · ฿5,500 + a ¥380/room/night fee) and <strong>¥1,200</strong> (W Xi'an design · ฿6,000) · the value of this list is that it only includes stays with a verified pet policy and a clear score, not ones that just say so — pick by your budget and your pet.
