Hotel · Xuhui District, Shanghai

Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li occupies a meticulously restored 1930s shikumen lane house complex in the Xuhui District — a rare piece of old Shanghai transformed into a 55-villa hotel of extraordinary intimacy. Each villa is a private residence with its own courtyard, designed by Neri & Hu with a sensitivity to the neighbourhood's architectural heritage. The spa, restaurants, and library are housed in the original lane-house buildings, creating a hotel that feels genuinely embedded in Shanghai's history.
