"Capella Shanghai channels the old-world glamour of the 1930s, when French fashion and design were intermingled with traditional culture. In the historic Xuhui District, the hotel occupies an old Shikumen estate, characterised by its redbrick façade and rosewood-framed windows. Star French chef Pierre Gagnaire helms the restaurant, and an award-winning spa will have you feeling as buffed as a prized piece of jade. Best of all, though, is Capella’s ‘culturists’, who’ll arrange immersive experiences to help you delve into Shanghai’s manifold layers." - Mr & Mrs Smith
