In a city like Hong Kong where space is the ultimate luxury, it's a treat to check into a hotel like The Murray where even the smallest rooms are generous in size. There are 336 guest rooms and suites including The Murray Suite, a sprawling 2,422 square foot suite with an oversized en-suite bathroom, his and hers walk-in wardrobes, separate living and dining areas, a pantry, study and fitness zone. 

The spa on level 3 has a total of five treatment rooms, with two of them for couples, complete with steam and sauna facilities. 

The Murray is home to a total of six dining establishments, including modern bistro The Tai Pan, the breezy open-air Cotton Tree Terrace and Popinjays, a rooftop bar with spectacular Hong Kong views, located on the 25th floor. 

Located on Cotton Tree Drive, the property faces lush Hong Kong Park on one side with views of Central’s iconic skyscrapers on the other. Originally a government office, it was first built in 1969 and was the brainchild of architect Ron Phillips, who was inspired by the relentless summer heat to design a structure that would naturally keep cool. This was done by angling the building in a certain way so that the sun would only hit the concrete walls, but never the glass windows. When China-based Niccolo Hotels group bought the property, they tasked Foster + Partners to transform the space from an office building to a chic 25-storey hotel. The designers took pains to preserve the original facade of the building, even inviting the then 90-year-old Phillips as a project consultant. On the inside, however, you’ll find that any indication that this was once a sterile office is thrown out the window(s) (pun intended), when you see the gilded lobby and sleek mid-century furnishings.
