What we love about this stay
Request one of the Shikumen villas with a private courtyard—waking up inside a restored 1930s lane house feels less like a hotel and more like inheriting a Shanghai pied-à-terre. Early evening is your moment: walk the interior alleyways around golden hour when the low light catches the stone gate facades and the property is at its quietest. For dinner, don't default to the main restaurant—ask the concierge to arrange a private dining setup in one of the smaller heritage rooms, which they'll do with little fuss if you mention it at check-in. Skip the spa on weekends; midweek mornings are when you'll actually feel the stillness this place was designed around. The French Concession is steps away, but honestly, the courtyards here hold their own.

Lovely location Very discreet location, and quiet. Feels like I left Shanghai for a moment. The courtyard is beautiful. Very nice restaurants adjacent to the property. The staff is very nice, and helpful. The villas are so private, it feels like home instead of a hotel. Lovely little gifts at turn down service every night. Adds a special touch to Capella. Will continue to stay here every time I visit Shanghai.

Feel just like being home My husband and I both grew up in the area. Each time we go visit Shanghai, we always set aside one afternoon strolling along streets in the French concession area. The leafy mulberry trees cover almost entire sky during the summer that shades away the sun and heat…. This time we decided to stay at Capella Jian Ye Li instead of other five star hotels. As soon as we walk into our villa, we immediately feel like we are at home. At Capella, you don’t get noise/traffic like you do at other hotel lobbies or in the elevator. The villa is designed so beautifully. Everything feels so tasty and elegant. And it is very spacious. We just love it, and our friends who visited us at villa all love it. We had breakfast at its restaurant. The buffet is very delicious and you can also order from the menu. Again the décor in the dining area is very elegant. We sat by the balcony window door overlooking the courtyard while we enjoyed our breakfast. For people like us who prefer quietness, cozy and comfy when traveling, Capella is the place to enjoy your visiting in Shanghai. We decided we will stay at Capella Jian Ye Li again on our next Shanghai trip.
