Discovering The Hari Hong Kong — where art meets hospitality
1/F, 330 Lockhart Rd, Wan Chai, Hong Kong
If you’re planning a trip to Hong Kong and want more than just a typical hotel stay — a place that feels like a cozy lounge, an art gallery, and a cultural gateway all at once — then The Hari Hong Kong should be at the top of your list. Nestled in the heart of Wan Chai, on 330 Lockhart Road, the 30-storey hotel isn’t just a place to sleep: it’s a destination in itself.
A hotel that lives and breathes art
From the moment you walk in, The Hari immerses you in a world of contemporary creativity. The hotel’s public spaces — particularly the third-floor lounge are adorned with a thoughtfully curated, rotating collection of artworks.
The pieces range widely in medium and style: from surreal photography and digital installations, to sculptural works crafted from unusual materials.
Even the lighting, the furniture, the layout — everything is designed to enhance that gallery-meets-lounge vibe. Plush mid-century seating, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lockhart Road, and a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere make The Lounge feel like a friend’s living room — albeit a very stylish, art-filled one.
In addition to the lounge, both the hotel's restaurants (like the Italian ristorante Lucciola and contemporary Japanese restaurant Zoku) and the corridors, guestrooms and public areas are part of this immersive art journey — so whether you’re sipping a cocktail, lounging, dining or simply walking to your room, you’re surrounded by art.
The Hari Art Prize — nurturing new talent
What makes The Hari Hong Kong truly special is that it’s not just showing art — it’s helping create it. The hotel runs the The Hari Art Prize, a program dedicated to supporting emerging local artists. For example, the 2024–2025 edition enlisted dozens of artists and concluded with a prize awarding ceremony in March 2025. The winner — along with two runners-up — received a cash award and had their work displayed inside the hotel.
By walking its halls, dining in its restaurants, drinking in its lounge, or simply staying in its rooms — you become part of that creative ecosystem. The Hari becomes more than a hotel: it becomes a living, breathing canvas.
More than a hotel — a cultural launch pad into Wan Chai
The real magic lies in the experience beyond The Hari’s walls. Wan Chai is one of Hong Kong’s oldest neighbourhoods — a fascinating blend of tradition, street-culture, underground art, nightlife, markets and modern urban energy. The Hari positions itself as not just a place to stay, but as a gateway into that world.
Guests who appreciate art and culture can easily walk from The Hari to local galleries, street-art spots, heritage buildings and neighbourhood gems — the hotel even curates suggestions and guides for exploring Wan Chai’s creative corners.
Meanwhile, inside the hotel, you get all the comforts of a well-designed boutique-style stay: 210 guest rooms (including three rooftop suites), tastefully furnished, with thoughtful touches and a calm, elegant feel that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant streets below.
