Many had waited with anticipation to see the stunning new Murray in Hong Kong. Ever since the 25-floor, open-square building was designed by Ron Phillips in 1969 some must have thought it would make an excellent hotel. Finally, on January 15th, 2018, the Cotton Tree Drive building, re-imagined by Foster+Partners, opened as The Murray, a Niccolo Hotel, Hong Kong – and the first visitors, amazingly, were Ron Phillips and his family.
