Capella Shanghai is unlike any other hotel in the city, a collection of restored 1930s shikumen lane houses set within a garden in the heart of the former French Concession. Each villa is a private retreat, and the whole feels like a hidden neighborhood.

The dining is anchored by Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire, a French restaurant from the celebrated chef, with La Terrace for all-day garden dining, Le Bar for cocktails, and La Boulangerie for French pastries.

For a Shanghai stay steeped in the city's 1930s character, Capella is the most atmospheric address in town.
