Capella Shanghai Jian Ye Li

Came to celebrate my bestie's birthday. It was a very good stay. The service was warm but not overly intrusive. The lounge and spa experience were very good. The desserts were delicious.

The location is quiet in a busy area. The four-and-a-half-story building has well preserved the historical charm of the Shikumen pavilion. The materials used in the renovation of the facilities can be seen to be carefully and attentively, and the linens and bedding are emphasized. I slept until breakfast on the first day and couldn't make it to the restaurant for breakfast 😂 The check-in guidance and room cleaning were timely and in place. Especially the little sister Raven at the front desk was considerate and patient, and maintained a comfortable distance. Everything was prepared in advance. The small gift for leaving the hotel was also very considerate. It is worth coming back to "visit relatives" in the summer

I was able to experience what a luxury hotel is ♥️ It was a great place to welcome the new year of 2025. I could use an entire 3-story house in the style of old Shanghai, and it felt like I was in a village. Everything was perfect from the moment of check-in to check-out. Right after check-in, they accompanied me and gave me detailed and kind guidance from the way to the 1st to 3rd floor (+ rooftop). The staff were all professional and had affection and pride for Capella, which was nice. They thoughtfully recommended restaurants nearby because it was New Year's Day on January 1st, and they said they would help me with everything I needed. The room condition was also the best, and the welcome food, cake, was very delicious. It was secretly convenient that there were two bathrooms. I could control the sunlight with curtains on the windows, and the traditional Shanghai candy, traditional comics, and wooden bookshelf(?) that they gave me as a souvenir were impressive. The first floor door and small terrace(?) were also so beautiful and nice. I also liked that the living room and bedroom were on completely different floors. Usually, other hotels clean the room when you stay for more than 2 nights, but they cleaned the room meticulously every time you left. At first, I didn't think they would clean the room because it was only for 1 night, so I was a little surprised, but when I asked, they said they clean it meticulously every time you leave. The mother-of-pearl minibar was really nice. The library was also nice, and the chocolate was delicious! I was also able to eat breakfast at Pierre Gagnaire, and I was glad to have enjoyed Pierre Gagnaire in Korea. However, since I ordered a Chinese menu at a French restaurant, the breakfast wasn't that great! Hahaha Next time, I think it would be better to choose a French menu or just eat dinner. They even gave me a gift when I checked out, and even called a taxi for me. Although it was only for a day, I felt like a Chinese princess (?) I want to go on my next trip and visit other Capellas. Thank you♥️
