WOOBAR

Xi'an, China

WOOBAR is the cocktail bar of W Xi'an, the hotel on the edge of Qujiangchi Lake in the Qujiang New District. It pours signature cocktails in relaxed indoor seating areas from the daytime on, and after dark the place becomes a late-night social scene. A terrace offshoot, The Balcony@WOOBAR, looks over Qujiang Pond and serves sunset dinners, with seafood buckets and grilled dishes as its must-tries. The hotel covers more than 100,000 square meters under a Living Room 17 meters high, and all 372 of its rooms, on floors 5 to 26, have private balconies. WEI and YEN, the latter for Huaiyang fine dining, are among its restaurants.
