Five-star hotel, The Hari Hong Kong, has launched a cultural immersion experience that guides guests through a remarkable variety of art presented across the hotel as well as the surrounding Wan Chai neighbourhood.
The Hari Art Trail is underpinned by a personalised art tour with the hotel’s in-house art ambassador, practicing artist Bibek Rai, who shares anecdotes behind the hotel’s eclectic 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.
Some outstanding permanent artworks within the hotel include The Monumental Melt by Rado Kirov, which is made with mirrored stainless steel, Tseng Kwong Chi’s iconic black and white self-portrait series, and Lee Leenam’s digital reinterpretation of the New Kiss. Meanwhile, the hotel’s rotating display includes works from The Hari Art Prize Hong Kong Edition, which supports talented emerging artists.
This exclusive art tour with Bibek Rai is available by appointment only and subject to availability; it is not limited to guests in residence.
Following The Hari Art Trail, guests are encouraged to continue the art trail by visiting two of Wan Chai’s hidden gems: 1960s tenement block-turned-creative hub Foo Tak Building and appointment-only gallery PHD Group.
