Accommodation
The heart of our urban sanctuary are the one, two and three-bedroom Shikumen Villas, which blend historical Shanghainese courtyard living with French 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.
Shikumen Villa
Originally built during the 1930s, the shikumen villas housed foreign traders and expatriates working in Shanghai. In 1945, the area was transformed into a residential area for local Shanghainese and became a hive of activity around the narrow lanes. The contemporary elegance of the villa’s newly designed interiors contrast with Chinoiserie accents, an expression of heritage and modern indulgence.
Shikumen Garden Villa
Our Shikumen Garden Villas face the Secret Garden, an outdoor space where guests can immerse their five senses and relax. The bespoke interior design is a careful blend of classic Chinese elements and 19th-century French flair. Embark on a journey and step back in time to the golden era of Shanghai.
