OVERVIEW
Shanghai’s history as China’s gateway city is hallmarked by a unique
blend of Oriental heritage and global architectural influences. This
rich legacy is enhanced by the addition of a new luxury hotel, Capella
Shanghai, Jian Ye Li. Located within the cultural preservation zone of
Xuhui District, Capella Shanghai will be the only all-villa urban resort
in the last remaining cluster of shikumen (stone gate) townhouses.
Originally built in the 1930s by French real estate company Fonciere
et Immobiliere de Chine, the hotel fuses timeless Shanghainese
courtyard living with Parisian flair. A fine example of Shanghai’s
architectural heritage, the Jian Ye Li estate features 22 rows of
shikumen lanes, connecting more than 200 two-storey houses.
Today, few original shikumen lanes remain, making Capella Shanghai,
Jian Ye Li an important showcase of the city’s cultural heritage.
Sensitively restored by a team of experts, the urban resort comprises
the ultra-luxury Capella Shanghai, Capella Residences and The
Gallery, a retail destination for lifestyle brands.
HISTORY
Dating from the 1930s, the villas housed middle-upper class traders
and expatriates working in Shanghai. In 1945, the area was
transformed into a residential area for local Shanghainese. It
subsequently became a beehive of activity, home to hundreds of
families, with residents trading fresh produce and other goods in a
market-place setting along the narrow lanes.
A distinctive landmark of Capella Shanghai, Jian Ye Li is the Water
Tower. Early residents used it as their source of water, and in later
years it provided access and air circulation to the basement. Being the
tallest point of the estate, the refashioned Water Tower now serves as
a light and signal service tower, as well as an observation point for a
bird’s eye view of this beautiful heritage precinct.
