Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li

Capella Shanghai gives old-school Shanghai laneway living a serious glow-up. Set inside one of the city’s last remaining shikumen compounds, this all-villa stay mixes historic bones with Parisian polish. Expect balconies, mezzanines and tea rooms in your suite, plus Michelin-starred French dining and a spa that does Traditional Chinese Medicine with a side of moon phases. Capella Culturists are on hand to sort everything from dumpling classes to bike rides.
