We would have never achieved this honour and stand out among the competitors without their contribution and endorsement.”
THE MURRAY – Grand Room Day Park View
Originally built in 1969 as a government office complex, the Murray Building was designed by British architect Ron Philips. Considered innovative at that era with the introduction of recessed windows that shelter the interior from the sun, thus moderating the use of air-conditioning, this pioneering sustainable and energy-saving solution has won the building numerous energy-efficient design awards. Philips was invited by Foster+Partners to transform his art piece into a luxury five-star hotel, celebrating the past and future of the building and vibrant city. On top of the “Five-star Hotel Award” by Forbes Travel Guide 2022 and the “Best City Hotel – Hong Kong” by TTG Travel Awards 2022, the latest award by Historic Hotels Worldwide further acknowledged Niccolo Hotels’ philosophy of providing contemporary chic hospitality and memorable experience to all guests.
Mr. Law added, “With the historical background and stylish facilities in the hotel, we are looking forward to seeing The Murray become the hub of art and culture in the heart of Hong Kong. Our ultimate goal is to bring new encounters and timeless pleasures to all our guests, in this truly unique and magnificent building.”
