About Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li
An urban sanctuary hidden within one of Shanghai's last remaining clusters of 1930s Shikumen architecture. Designed by the late Jaya Ibrahim, Capella Shanghai transforms restored lane houses in the Xuhui District into intimate villas that blend traditional Chinese heritage with French colonial flair. Behind the unassuming stone gate entrance lies a world of cobblestone courtyards, hanging birdcages, and Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire—where Michelin-starred French cuisine meets Old Shanghai glamour. Every guest is cared for by a dedicated Capella Culturist who curates bespoke experiences, from private art tours to tailored city explorations.
