The villas here were once shikumen townhouses, the narrow-lane brick dwellings that somehow survived Shanghai's tower-block era, and Capella has turned a preserved clutch of them into a boutique luxury hotel in Xuhui. Three-story interiors mix French and Chinese influences, and Pierre Gagnaire's only mainland China restaurant sits on the grounds. The spa runs to flotation tanks and traditional Chinese medicine treatments, which is a combination that feels very Shanghai.

Terra cotta bricks by Swiss-Italian architect Mario Botta give this business hotel in the old French Concession a geometric facade that feels deliberate rather than decorative. Inside, an elliptical courtyard offers an unlikely patch of green, and rooms go Art Deco with a Chinese inflection, big windows, and bathrooms that lean generous. Restaurants cover both international and Cantonese ground, and the spa has a solid reputation around town.
