Touching down at the beginning of 2018, The Murray is one of the most anticipated hotels of the year.
Designed by Foster + Partners, the hotel has renovated a colonial-era heritage building in the heart of Hong Kong’s Central district, right by Hong Kong Park and the Botanical Gardens.
Built in the 1960s, the original Murray Building (designed by architect Ron Phillips) was best known for its majestic three-story archways and sustainable design, which includes angled windows to minimize direct sunlight.
The majority of the notable architectural characteristics will be preserved, but the interiors will be transformed into a luxury palace worthy of visiting dignitaries and celebrities. In the 336 rooms, amenities include all-marble bathrooms, harbor views, herringbone wood floors and a muted palette with glamorous bronze accents.
