Welcome to
the Warriors

Stay at the Loews Madison Hotel, the o;cial hotel partner for the National Geographic Museum

Nearly 2,000 years ago, thousands of life-size clay figures—generals, soldiers, archers, chari- oteers, acrobats—were buried in massive under- ground pits to accompany China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, in the afterlife. Their discovery outside the city of Xi’an in 1974 is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. Stay at Loews Madison Hotel and come face-to-face with 15 terra cotta warriors, as well as other treasures from the tomb, including 100 sets of objects such as stone armor, weapons, coins, bronze vessels and more.
