Hotel
Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li
Former French Concession, Xuhui, Shanghai, China
Fifty-five villas in restored 1930s shikumen lane houses in the former French Concession.
Why we recommend it
The only hotel in Shanghai made entirely of shikumen houses, the city's own form of architecture. Staying here means a private three-storey house on a quiet lane, among the plane trees, cafés and boutiques of the former Concession. It is the address for travellers who already know the Bund.
Location
On Jianguo West Road in Xuhui, in the residential heart of the former French Concession. The Bund is about 20 minutes by car.
