Our MICHELIN Key Story

We are profoundly honoured that The Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel, has been awarded a One MICHELIN Key in the inaugural 2025 MICHELIN Guide Hotel Selection. This prestigious distinction represents a new landmark for travellers, established to identify the most exceptional hotel experiences worldwide, mirroring the esteemed MICHELIN Star recognition for restaurants.

Selected from over 6,000 distinctive establishments across the globe, The Murray has been celebrated as a "true gem with personality" where guests can enjoy "a very special stay." The MICHELIN Guide itself noted, “It’s rare that a brand new hotel rockets straight to the top of Hong Kong’s hospitality scene, and rarer still, for obvious reasons, that it’s converted from a late-Sixties landmark government building by the eminent London-based architects Foster + Partners … The Murray’s 336 rooms and suites are, on average, the largest in Hong Kong, and they’re provided with state-of-the-art luxuries and stylish contemporary furnishings.”

This recognition pays tribute to our team's unwavering dedication and reflects our successful embodiment of five crucial selection criteria. The hotel serves as an open door to the destination, with our prime location within the Conserving Central initiative positioning us as a gateway to Hong Kong's rich heritage and contemporary vibrancy. Our architectural excellence is demonstrated through the iconic Foster + Partners-designed building that beautifully preserves a heritage landmark while introducing modern luxury through its striking geometric forms. We maintain the highest standards of service, comfort, and maintenance to ensure a consistently exceptional experience that reflects our commitment to excellence. Most importantly, The Murray maintains its distinctive personality and authenticity, creating a unique identity that blends historical significance with artistic sophistication and tranquil elegance.

This MICHELIN Key represents more than an award, it is an invitation to experience a sanctuary where heritage gracefully meets innovation. We extend our deepest gratitude to our valued guests and dedicated team who have been integral to our continuing story of excellence, and we look forward to welcoming discerning travellers to discover why The Murray represents a new standard in Hong Kong hospitality.
