Discover the innovative architectural design of The Murray Hong Kong. Towering over Hong Kong Park, the hotel’s building is an iconic modernist landmark. Its design, with distinctive ground-level arches and deeply recessed, angled windows that prevent the entry of direct sunlight and thus enhance temperature control, is an example of sustainable architecture way ahead of its time—and one of the reasons why the building was granted heritage status by the government.

Admire the sizable Cassia javanica var. indochinensis, a registered Old and Valuable Tree (OVT). Originally from Hawaii, Cassia javanica var. indochinensis grows extensively throughout tropical Indochina. When it flowers in early summer from April to June, its majestic green canopy turns into a sea of pink and white. Hence, the tree is fondly referred to as the “Pink and White Shower.” The tree was already present prior to the building’s construction and was a majestic sight that stood proudly in the carpark of the former Murray Building. The only registered OVT of its species in Hong Kong, the tree is diligently preserved by the hotel’s arborist and today welcomes guests in the forecourt of the hotel’s sweeping entrance.
