The Hari Hong Kong Unveils “Wan Chai By Night” Experience

Hong Kong has always been a city that comes alive after sundown, but The Hari Hong Kong is taking evenings to the next level with its newly launched Best of Wan Chai at Night Tour. Partnering with licensed guide and popular travel content creator @explore_hongkong, the hotel has crafted a private 2.5-hour journey designed to reveal the eccentric charm, rich history, and layered culture of one of Hong Kong’s most storied neighbourhoods.

A Night That Peels Back the Layers

Starting from 5pm, guests are immersed in the tales of Wan Chai and neighbouring Causeway Bay while gaining intriguing insights into the city’s love affair with Feng Shui. But this is far from a standard history lesson. The tour is interactive, vibrant, and full of delicious experiences.

Highlights include:

• Taking part in Villain Hitting, an atmospheric ritual of Chinese folk sorcery.
• Wandering through a wet market and night bazaars brimming with local life.
• Stepping into a 140-year-old tea shop to taste tradition at its finest.
• Sampling local street snacks, handpicked to give guests an authentic taste of Hong Kong.
• Crossing one of the city’s busiest intersections and hopping aboard the iconic 100-year-old Ding Ding Tram.
• Admiring the shimmering towers of Hong Kong Island before ending with sweeping views that extend across Victoria Harbour to Kowloon.

“Edgy, dynamic and diverse, we love our neighbourhood and community, and this remarkable new experience reveals why,” notes The Hari Hong Kong’s General Manager, Edward E. Snoeks. “Each and every attraction on our new tour peels back Wan Chai’s layers, connecting guests with its rich past and exciting present.”

From Fishing Village to Urban Tapestry

Once a small fishing village before the British arrived in 1841, Wan Chai has reinvented itself countless times over the centuries. From colonial terrain to a hub of nightlife and commerce, the district today encapsulates the dichotomy of Hong Kong—heritage mingles with innovation, temples rest in the shadows of glass towers, and its streets buzz with markets and Michelin-starred dining alike.

The Hari’s curated night experience captures this evolution in motion, allowing guests to see, taste, and feel both the ancient rhythms and modern pulse of the city.

A Hotel That Mirrors Its Neighbourhood

Located 30 storeys high on Lockhart Road, The Hari Hong Kong is as much a part of the landscape as it is a window into it. Designed by acclaimed British interior designer Tara Bernerd, the 210-room property, including three signature rooftop suites, places guests in the beating heart of Wan Chai with views stretching toward The Peak and Victoria Harbour.

Within the hotel, culture flows seamlessly into gastronomy. Lucciola offers Italian classics served with bold design, while Zoku brings a modern Japanese flair beneath its striking origami-inspired ceiling. The Terrace serves as a vibrant alfresco bar, and The Lounge welcomes guests at all hours, surrounded by curated art and books that reflect the Hari ethos.

True to its spirit of community engagement, the hotel also champions creativity through initiatives like The Hari Art Prize and The Hari Chronicles, both dedicated to fostering new voices in art, design, and culture. Adding to that, its sustainability credentials were recently recognised with the EarthCheck Benchmarked Bronze status, underscoring its commitment to responsible travel.

Exploring Hong Kong Like a Local

For travellers seeking more than postcard views, The Hari Hong Kong’s Wan Chai By Night experience is both an invitation and an immersion. It is a chance to taste, touch, and uncover the city like a local, discovering the eclectic character of Wan Chai through its rituals, flavours, and stories.

With its bold blend of heritage, hospitality, and authenticity, The Hari Hong Kong is not just a place to stay—it’s a new way to experience a city that never truly sleeps.
