8 New Hong Kong Hotels in 2018
The Hong Kong hospitality landscape is in for some big changes this year, with a spate of new hotel openings across all levels of the spectrum. Most exciting is the opening of two new ultra-luxury hotels – the first such openings in nearly 10 years since The Upper House and The Four Seasons, and just as exciting as those were. The Murray Hong Kong opens today, and Rosewood Hong Kong around September.
The Murray, Hong Kong, A Niccolo Hotel
A multi-billion dollar transformation of The Murray Building, an iconic 1960s structure which was once a government building, The Murray is one of the world’s most anticipated openings this year. It is owned by Wharf and will be the new flagship of their luxury portfolio, Niccolo Hotels. Highlights are the events space around the 14.5 metre high arches, and Poppinjay, a rooftop bar and restaurant with panoramic city views set to the new gathering place for the city’s movers and shakers.
