The Murray, Hong Kong is a luxury hotel distinguished by its adaptive reuse of one of Central’s most recognisable modernist buildings. The original Murray Building was designed by architect Ron Phillips and completed during the 1960s before being transformed into a hotel as part of a major conservation and redevelopment project. Its distinctive recessed windows and architectural form have been retained, giving the property a character unlike newly constructed luxury hotels.

Inside, the design is contemporary and restrained. Rooms and suites are spacious, with large windows, neutral tones and modern furnishings creating a calm contrast to the dense city outside. The building’s original architectural characteristics have been incorporated into the guest experience rather than hidden, allowing heritage and modern hospitality to coexist.

The hotel offers several restaurants, bars and social spaces, including elevated venues that provide views across Central and the surrounding skyline. Its culinary programme ranges from relaxed meals to more formal dining and rooftop occasions.

Wellness and fitness facilities provide opportunities to relax, while event spaces accommodate weddings, corporate gatherings and private celebrations. The Murray’s location is particularly notable: it sits beside Hong Kong Park and close to the Peak Tram, while Central’s commercial and retail districts remain within easy reach. This combination of architectural heritage, greenery and proximity to the financial centre gives the hotel an unusual balance of urban convenience and relative tranquillity.
