Many people have given high praise to Capella Shanghai, so how good is it? With this question in mind, we specially chose this long-admired hotel when we went to Shanghai for a trip in early June this year.
Capella Shanghai is located in the Xuhui Historical and Cultural Protection Area, No. 480 Jianguo West Road, Jianyeli, in the ancient Shikumen building complex. Shikumen, which first appeared in 1860, is a Shanghai-style building that combines the essence of Eastern and Western architecture. Capella Hotel, located in it, includes 55 Shikumen villas and is the only pure villa urban resort hotel in Shanghai.
We chose the Shikumen Garden Twin Villa. The red brick exterior wall of the villa is covered with green plants, as if counting the years with the mottled sunlight. The room is large, 110 square meters. The villa has a total of five floors, the first floor is the living room, the second floor is the tea and entertainment room, the third floor is the bedroom, the fourth floor is the bathroom, and the roof of the fifth floor is a terrace, overlooking the Shikumen scenery.
When you walk into the living room, it's like you've walked into time! The facilities in the guest rooms look old, but they are all very good modern brands, deliberately creating an ancient and luxurious visual effect; although the hotel is located in the downtown area, it is very quiet, as if you can quietly talk to the ancient times here!
On the coffee table in the living room on the first floor, the welcome card written by the hotel manager has been waiting for the arrival of the guests. In addition to the white rabbit milk candy, a specialty of Shanghai, the small gift for the guests actually includes the comic book "Havoc in Heaven"! In addition, the hotel also specially presented exclusive library benefits, including drinks, snacks and beer; there are also morning and night rituals, including the historic Shanghai "Shenbao", coffee, Chinese tea and snacks; and free ironing and washing of 5 pieces of clothing, etc.
There are many varieties of breakfast, and they are very delicious. In addition to the regular Chinese and Western food in high-end hotels, there are also many local snacks with Shanghai characteristics, such as wontons and steamed buns. In addition, the drinks are also great. We specially ordered red wine and champagne.
At noon, we chose to dine at the French restaurant Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire in the hotel. This restaurant was founded by Pierre Gagnaire, a French genius chef, and soon won one Michelin star and two black pearl diamonds. After tasting it, we sincerely felt that it was really amazing!
The hotel service is great! From the check-in, all the experience is great! Including the doorman, luggage, cleaning, restaurant, bar... Among them, we must especially praise the employee Ethen Shao and the bartender Ethen at the hotel's Le Bar. Their service is professional, patient, polite and enthusiastic, giving us a very good stay experience and leaving us with unforgettable memories!
In short, the stay experience at Capella Shanghai is great! Here, while enjoying the wonderful service and accommodation and dining experience, it seems to have walked into ancient times! Here, you can find the old dreams of the sea, and you can also feel the pulse of the modern magic city! He is worth your return again and again, and with him, he will continue to be intoxicated and wander in the interweaving of time and space in the past, present and future...
Shanghai Capella Hotel is really well-deserved!
I think we will come back here again!
