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.
After serving as a
government building for more than four decades, Foster and Partners was called
upon to spearhead an ambitious revitalization project that transformed the
office tower into a luxurious hotel.
During the four-year
process, the respected architectural firm retained the structure’s character
and most distinctive design elements. The refurbished interiors combine Italian
marble with minimalist gold accents, clean lines and an enviable art
collection.
In addition to the 336
spacious rooms and suites, there are also ample services and facilities, from
an indoor pool to sophisticated restaurants, a rooftop bar and a relaxing spa.
No matter where you find yourself in the hotel, you’ll enjoy incredible views
of the city skyline, lush Hong Kong Park and St. John’s Cathedral.
