Hong Kong has long lured food lovers with its Michelin-starred dim sum and street food icons, but its cultural scene is equally worth savouring. At the intersection of art and hospitality, The Hari Hong Kong now offers guests more than just a stylish stay, opening a curated window into the city’s vibrant creative landscape with its newly launched signature experience, The Hari Art Trail.
This immersive journey begins with a personalised tour through the hotel’s eclectic art collection, led by in-house art ambassador Bibek Rai. A practising artist himself, Rai offers thoughtful insights into the stories behind each work and the creative spirit shaping the city today.
The hotel’s collection spans installation, mixed media, photography and digital works. Standouts include Rado Kirov’s The Monumental Melt, Tseng Kwong Chi’s iconic black-and-white self-portraits, and Lee Leenam’s digital reinterpretation of The New Kiss. A rotating selection of works from The Hari Art Prize, Hong Kong Edition, showcases emerging voices from the region and adds fresh perspective.
After the in-house experience, guests are encouraged to continue the art trail independently, exploring nearby cultural highlights such as Foo Tak Building and PHD Group. The former, a 1960s tenement reimagined as a “vertical art village”, houses visual artists, writers and performers working in below-market studio spaces that prioritise creative freedom. Nearby, PHD Group occupies a once-private rooftop clubhouse, now converted into a contemporary gallery space exhibiting regional talent across raw concrete walls and industrial interiors.
Wan Chai and neighbouring Central are also home to a wealth of galleries worth visiting, including Woaw Gallery, Kiang Malingue, 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, Villepin, White Cube, Pearl Lam Galleries and Tang Contemporary Art.
Design is central to the experience at The Hari Hong Kong, which was brought to life by British designer Tara Bernerd. Its 210 rooms, including three rooftop suites, offer views across Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, The Peak and Victoria Harbour. Dining is another highlight, with Lucciola serving refined Italian, Zoku bringing a playful edge to modern Japanese, and The Terrace offering alfresco cocktails in a laid-back setting.
With its deep commitment to culture and community, The Hari Hong Kong offers more than refined hospitality. It fosters connection — not just to contemporary art, but to the creative energy of the city. The hotel also holds EarthCheck Benchmarked Bronze status in recognition of its dedication to responsible tourism and environmental sustainability.
The Hari Art Trail is available by appointment only. For bookings and details, visit thehari.com or contact +852 2129 0388.
