We travel to Cotton Tree Drive at the heart of Hong Kong to discover the city’s new 5-star sanctuary.

One iconic 50-year-old former government office building, with its unique architecture and interior finishes, plus one high-profile preservation project. The result? Hong Kong&rsquo;s newest luxury hotel,&nbsp;The Murray, which was designed by famed British studio Foster + Partners with plenty of elegant touches of white, black and gold. The landmark building is almost bathing in natural light &ndash; it was built with recessed square windows, and its energy efficient and eco-conscious layout is still being celebrated today.&nbsp;

Choose from Explorer, Signature, Cotton Tree, Park, Penthouse, and The Murray suites,&nbsp;some of which offer views of the surrounding green oasis that is the Hong Kong Park. The hotel&rsquo;s event space, The Arches, is already a hot Instagram spot for its high ceilings, abundance of natural light, and its repurposed car-ramp-structure. The hotel is also located next to The Peak tram station, and is a stroll away from Queen&rsquo;s Road Central.&nbsp;

The 25-storey hotel is home to 336 contemporary-style guestrooms and suites.

There are five restaurants housed in The Murray, including Guo Fu Lou, one of Hong Kong&rsquo;s most iconic Chinese establishments serving Cantonese cuisine. Popinjays, the most recently opened of the five dining spots, is found on the hotel&rsquo;s top floor. It serves modern European dishes, aviary-inspired cocktails, as well as a view of Hong Kong&rsquo;s skyline. Elsewhere, you&rsquo;ll find the Garden Lounge (perfect for high-tea indulgences), Murray Lane for small plates, beers and wines, as well as The Tai Pan for international and Pan-Asian classics.
