Expert reviews
“Formerly home to Hong Kong government offices, the iconic 1969 white high-rise known as the Murray Building reopened in January 2018 as The Murray hotel. The British architectural firm Foster + Partners has undertaken its transformation to a 336-room hotel spanning 25 floors. Among five restaurants and lounges, the rooftop bar will overlook the city’s business district and Hong Kong Park.”
“Built in 1969, The Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel’s building was already ahead of its time. At the hands of British modernist architect Ron Phillips, the energy-efficient structure featured a distinct white facade with three-story arches and recessed square windows designed to minimize direct sunlight.”
“The soaring arches at the entrance to The Murray set the scene for this landmark’s dramatic transformation from colonial-era offices into a high-end hotel. Great views and a clever use of space make it an alluring addition for those who want to stay in the city’s centre.”

Good but could be better
I liked the 24 hour gym and the room was superbly appointed. The view from the room was excellent.
I couldn't order room service. As my custom, I pay for every order whether in a restaurant or in-room dining. In other hotels the service staff brought a card reader with them when they delivered in-room dining items. At the Murray they wanted to talk about this a LOT, which made me feel that they did not know how to make the room service 'service' smooth for a loyal Discovery member...I did not order room service and we went out for breakfast.

Love holiday in a fast paced city
The hotel was very central and easy to access shops, restaurants and local transportation.
Food at the hotel was a little over priced but lots of local food places to go instead, very short walk.

The Murray Experience
The Murray is Opulent and Classy. Our stay was an Exclusive Experience, and staff made us feel at home. We celebrated our 20th Anniversary and the Hotel went out of its way with complimentary balloons and delicious cake for our celebration. The rooms are very spacious with lots of amenities and qreat locations.

Lovely sized rooms and wonderful staff
The size of the room and the views

A great place to stay in Hong Kong for special occasions!
Excellent reimagining of a former office building into a top class hotel. Comfortable room, good location. Fantastic rooftop restaurant and bar with great views.
Odd design of swimming pool facilities - no changing rooms beyond individual bathrooms.

The staff has a great services, they are so thoughtful and provide help before you ask. The room is beautiful, especially the bathroom. The TV also out of expectation, it gives a cinemas vibe there. My partner and I would like to come again.

Very good
The Murray is a fantastic hotel in the heart of HK Central area. It is beautifully appointed, great location, excellent service and large room by HK standards. Breakfast buffet was great - good selection of western and asian that was just right. Staff was excellent and always ready to assist.
The only complaint I would have is that the bed was not as comfortable as you would expect from a hotel like this. The mattress was hard so perhaps a good quality mattress topper is needed.

Post Xmas Stay
The quiet and the comfortable room.
The breakfast places were far too small so we ended up canceling our reservation when we saw the long line still at 9:45.
