The Murray, Hong Kong - a Niccolo Hotel

The Murray, Hong Kong stands at 22 Cotton Tree Drive in Central, on Hong Kong Island, opposite Hong Kong Park and a short walk from Admiralty and Central. The Peak Tram terminus, St John's Cathedral and the Central financial district are close by, and Admiralty MTR station is within a few minutes on foot. The building is a Brutalist government office tower completed in 1969 and later converted into a hotel, with a facade of deep-set windows that offers shade and views across the park and harbour. Interiors combine the original structure with contemporary design, and rooms are notably large for Hong Kong, China. Room categories include Deluxe Rooms, Executive Rooms and Suites, with rates typically between HK$3,500 and HK$7,000. Rooms have generous work areas and city or park outlooks. Dining includes the Murray Bar & Grill, a rooftop bar with views over Central, and other restaurants and lounges serving Cantonese, European and Asian dishes. Breakfast is a buffet with hot and cold selections. The spa, a pool and a fitness center complete the amenities. Service is professional and business-oriented, with a concierge team, wifi and meeting facilities, while also welcoming leisure guests who want a quieter base near the park. The hotel appeals to visitors interested in architecture, since the conversion has been noted for its heritage sensitivity, and to travellers who want easy access to Central's offices, shops and ferry piers. Rooftop seating is popular in the evening, so reservations help during peak periods.
