PB hotel design editorial

Designed by Ron Philips of the Public Works Department and completed in 1969, the former Murray Building on Cotton Tree Drive was one of Hong Kong's most debated examples of Brutalist civic architecture — its deep-set, diamond-patterned concrete facade conceived specifically to deflect the colony's fierce subtropical sun. That same brise-soleil grid, visible in the images as a receding field of white-painted pyramidal shadows, survived intact when Foster + Partners undertook the building's conversion into The Murray Hong Kong, which opened in 2018 with 336 rooms across 27 floors. The restoration preserved Philips's signature fenestration while adding arched colonnades at street level and a planted terrace that softens the podium's transition to Cotton Tree Drive — a sequence of white rendered arches and clipped hedging that brings an almost Mediterranean restraint to Central's dense financial district. Interior design by Foster + Partners and Wimberly Interiors established a palette that treats the building's geometry as its dominant decorative statement rather than something to work against. Guestrooms are fitted in pale linen headboards, graphite upholstered daybeds, and mustard velvet cushions against a ground of dark timber flooring and floor-to-ceiling city views — the harbour visible from upper floors, the surrounding skyline filling the glass on every other side. The restaurant, with its black marble floor, brass-toned ceiling fins, and red leather armchairs, draws warmth from materials rather than softness of form. Deepest in the building, a lap pool flanked entirely by living green walls provides the one space where the concrete geometry fully retreats.

The Murray, Hong Kong, A Niccolo Hotel Reviews

"I recently visited Popinjays at The Murray Hotel, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The moment I stepped in, I was struck by the incredible atmosphere – elegant, relaxing, and sophisticated, with stunning views of Hong Kong’s skyline. The whole setting is simply top-notch (環境一流), and you immediately feel like you’re somewhere special. What truly made the evening memorable was the service from Tino. He was attentive, warm, and professional without being intrusive – he seemed to anticipate every need. Whether it was recommending drinks, checking in at just the right moments, or just making sure everything was perfect, Tino went above and beyond. His service truly stood out, and he made us feel like valued guests. The whole vibe of Popinjays is fantastic – great music, beautiful decor, and a buzzing yet cosy energy (氣氛非常之好). Everything, from the presentation to the little details, was on point. I left feeling genuinely happy and relaxed (感覺好好). If you’re looking for a place with world-class service, a gorgeous environment, and an unbeatable atmosphere, Popinjays is it – and ask for Tino! I’ll definitely be back."

"We had such a wonderful experience at Popinjays. Kervin truly made the place feel exceptionally well-run. Everything was organized, smooth, and professional, and he handled guests with great care and attention. His leadership really shows in the atmosphere of the restaurant. Miss Dang was incredibly sweet and warm-hearted. She genuinely cares about the customers and made us feel so welcomed throughout our visit. Her kindness and attentive service made the evening even more special. Lei was also fantastic — very open, friendly, and hardworking. He had such a great way with us and made the experience feel comfortable and personal. We even took a photo together and shared some great moments. Thank you all for the amazing hospitality and for making our time at Popinjays so memorable. We will definitely remember this experience fondly."

"I was a guest at The Murray from 18 to 22 May 2026. The afternoon tea was delicate, flavourful and inviting. The rooms and decor exuded a quiet, clean and luxurious feel. Morning breakfast was a semi-buffet, there is a wide selection of what to have for breakfast and the pastries were unforgettable. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised that the staff noticed her birthday was during out stay and gave us a complementary chocolate hazelnut cake that was chocolatey, moist and tasty. The small things that the staff did showed care and attention won us over. I wonderful place to stay. I hope to be back to The Murray again."

"One of the best hotels around! Chock-full of amenities with huge rooms, you'll feel just at home staying here. What really made our experience was our housekeeper Yan Liang, who was just the absolute sweetest and kindest :) Super attentive and goes up and beyond expectations to do her absolute best to make us comfortable."
