Discover an urban sanctuary where you least expect it, nestled in one of Xuhui District’s last remaining cluster of shikumen townhouses. With only a few of the original shikumen lanes remaining, Capella Shanghai, an all luxury shikumen villa hotel in Shanghai, is proud to protect and evolve the city’s cultural legacy. The design concept, created by Jaya Design International, embodies the spirit of Jian Ye Li - reflected in the fusion of French and Chinese elements, a nod to its heritage and the golden era during the 1930s.

The heart of resort's urban sanctuary are the one, two and three-bedroom Shikumen Villas, which blend historical Shanghainese courtyard living with Parisian design flair. When staying in Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li, a Shanghai luxury hotel, guests will be looked after by our team of knowledgeable Capella Culturists who are there to provide bespoke experiences tailored to each stay.

Through the use of the finest ingredients and innate gastronomic creativity, three-Michelin star chef Pierre Gagnaire has spent five decades transforming simplicity into a symphony of flavour. We are delighted that his iconic name and reputation anchor the dining experience at Capella Shanghai.
