The Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel (Chinese: 香港美利酒店) is a hotel in Central, Hong Kong. Previously a government office building known as Murray Building (美利大廈), it was repurposed and the hotel opened in 2018.
Located in a prime spot on 22 Cotton Tree Drive, the Murray Building was designed by the then Public Works Department and completed in 1969. The 27-storey building was the tallest government building at that time. Murray Building was designed with its windows meticulously oriented to avoid intrusion of excessive direct sunlight. This design won the Certificate of Merit of the Energy Efficient Building Award in 1994. Another outstanding design feature of the Murray Building, which is surrounded by major roads on all sides, is its vehicular entrance which is neatly knitted into the steep Cotton Tree Drive.
