Capella Hotel Group Asia to Manage Heritage “Shikumen” Landmark

Capella Hotel Group Asia has set foot in Jian Ye Li, the present largest remaining cluster of “shikumen” estate in Shanghai. Located within the historical and cultural preservation zone of the Xuhui District, the project is comprised of the ultra-luxury Capella Shanghai, Capella Residences and The Gallery. This unique all-villa urban resort, which will open in March 2017, features 55 villas and 40 apartments, complemented by the legendary Capella Library, the award-winning Auriga Spa, a French brasserie and intimate event venues. Shikumen is the landmark of 1930s Shanghai marrying traditional Shanghainese with Western architectural styles and becoming a rarity against the glistening skyscrapers and modern architecture of this metropolis today.
