Mix Bar

Xi'an, China

Mix Bar is the hotel bar of The Westin Xi'an, which faces the 1,300-year-old Giant Wild Goose Pagoda from directly across the way, in the Qujiang New District. The hotel pitches it as a place to settle in with cocktails, coffee and other carefully made drinks, with a view to go with them. The hotel runs its own museum, the Xi'an Qujiang Museum of Fine Arts, and some of its rooms look straight at the pagoda. For dinner, Five Zen5es cooks Shaanxi dishes alongside Cantonese and Sichuan ones, and Mai handles contemporary Japanese food, from sushi and sashimi to teppanyaki.
