The Hari Hong Kong

Embracing slow travel with nature on its doorstep

In a city famed for its pace and density, The Hari Hong Kong is encouraging travellers to slow down and stay longer, revealing a lesser‑known side of the city where historic streets give way to scenic hillside trails.

As global travellers increasingly embrace slow travel, prioritising immersive experiences over fast itineraries, The Hari offers a compelling base in Wan Chai. Within fifteen minutes’ walk of the hotel, guests can access a vast network of hiking loops stretching up to fifty kilometres, while at street level Wan Chai invites exploration at a gentler rhythm — past the Blue House, the old Wan Chai Post Office, and Lockhart Road, immortalised in The World of Suzie Wong.

Victoria Harbour, just minutes away, offers another perspective: sunrise walks along the waterfront, ferries gliding across the skyline, and a sense of place that unfolds gradually. Back at The Hari, the hotel’s collection of art and books, alongside its dining landscape — Italian ristorante Lucciola, contemporary Japanese Zoku, alfresco Terrace, and The Lounge — extend the invitation to linger.

To support longer stays, tailored packages such as Stay Longer With Us and A Night on Us reward time spent in the city with exclusive rates and dining discounts. “Hong Kong is often experienced at speed yet there is so much richness to uncover when you take your time,” says general manager Edward E. Snoeks, who himself walks twenty kilometres weekly in the hills. “Down here in Wan Chai, you can wander heritage streets and minutes later be out among hiking routes that reveal a completely different Hong Kong.”

This slower approach mirrors larger shifts in global travel. Research by Visa and Expedia shows travellers are staying longer than pre‑pandemic, with outdoor activities like hiking cited by up to 71% of travellers as central to slow travel. The Hari Hong Kong positions itself at the intersection of these trends, offering both urban immersion and natural splendour.
