The Murray Hong Kong

The Murray Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel dates back to 1969 when the British colonial government decided to create a grand new office space called the Murray Building. British modernist architect Ron Phillips was tasked with designing the building and The Hong Kong government continued to occupy the Murray Building until it decided to move its operations to the neighboring Central Government Complex in 2011. The hotel is a product of the government’s grand strategy to revitalize Hong Kong’s “Central” district through the “Conserving Central Initiative.” Wharf Holdings bought the rights to redevelop the location in 2013 and hired architectural firm Foster + Partners to renovate the space in its entirety. Known today as The Murray Hong Kong, this magnificent historical structure is still among the most celebrated landmarks in the city.

Today, The Murray Hong Kong is a 25-story luxury sanctuary with 336 rooms and suites. Each room features uniquely recessed, floor to ceiling windows that allow abundant daylight without direct heat from the morning sun. Surfaces in the room are covered with luxurious rare stones, leather and textiles. The hotel features fine dining opportunities, including Popinjays, The Tai Pan, Garden Lounge, Murray Lane, and Michelin-starred Guo Fu Lou.

This luxury hotel is located in the heart of Central, Hong Kong along legendary Cotton Tree Drive. The area is the heart of Hong Kong’s business and retail district and is brimming with energy. The hotel is nestled beside Hong Kong Park, as well as the Hong Kong Botanical and Zoological Gardens. With its central location, the Murray offers exceptional views of the city and Victoria Peak, or as locals call it, The Peak. The hotel is also just steps or a short ride away from some of Hong Kong’s most alluring attractions including Victoria Harbor, PMQ, Market and the Peak Tram Terminal.
