HONG KONG, 23 July 2025: The Hari Hong Kong has launched a cultural experience that guides guests through the remarkable roster of art adorning its walls and Wan Chai neighbourhood’s art scene.
“The Hari Art Trail” is a personalised art tour led by the hotel’s in-house Art Ambassador, practising artist Bibek Rai, who shares anecdotes behind the hotel’s art collection and contemporary design.
Spanning a variety of mediums including installations, mixed media, surreal photographs, graphic paintings, three-dimensional images and digital film pieces, the art is curated by London-based art advisory A Space For Art, which also selects works for sister hotel The Hari London.
Following Bibek’s art tour, guests are encouraged to continue the art trail by visiting two of Wan Chai’s hidden gems — the 1960s tenement block turned creative hub, the Foo Tak Building, and the appointment-only gallery PHD Group.
Described by locals as a “vertical art village,” the Foo Tak Building offers partially subsidised rental units at below-market rates. Its variety of arts and cultural organisations, focused on the likes of visual arts, literature and publishing, sound and performing arts, and community development, pursue their artistic endeavours without burdensome rents.
Housed in a renovated space that used to be a private rooftop clubhouse in the 1970s, contemporary gallery PHD Group’s concrete walls and floors showcase creations from the region’s emerging and mid-career artists.
Wai Chai and the neighbouring Central District are home to a host of art galleries, including Woaw Gallery, Kiang Malingue, 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, Villepin, White Cube Hong Kong, Pearl Lam Galleries, Over The Influence, Tang Contemporary Art, and Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery.
“With art running through The Hari Hong Kong’s DNA, our art trail affords a whole new perspective of our hotel and Wan Chai, one of Hong Kong’s oldest yet most creative districts,” said Hari Hong Kong’s General Manager Edward Snoeks. “Bringing more depth and substance to a stay with us, Bibek connects guests with the narratives behind our artworks and our hotel’s design before guests step out into Wan Chai to interact with its edgy art scene.”
The elegant 30-story hotel features 210 guest rooms, including three signature rooftop suites, offering views overlooking Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, The Peak, and Victoria Harbour.
The exclusive art tour is available by appointment only.
