Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li

Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li is an all-villa hotel on Jianguo Xi Lu in Xuhui, built into 55 restored shikumen villas inside the Hengshan-Fuxing conservation area. Each villa has its own courtyard and roof terrace, which makes it feel less like a hotel corridor and more like renting a lane house with staff. There is a spa on site and a restaurant from Pierre Gagnaire holding a Michelin star. Rates typically start around 4,700 RMB a night and climb steeply by villa category and season. It was named in Forbes Travel Guide's Shanghai hotel list in January 2026.
