The MICHELIN Keys represent a new benchmark in hotel excellence for discerning travellers. The MICHELIN Guide thoroughly evaluates thousands of hotels globally using five key criteria: serving as a gateway to the city’s essence; demonstrating excellence and innovation in interior design and architecture; ensuring unwavering quality, service, comfort, and meticulous maintenance; providing consistent value for the price paid; and reflecting individuality through authenticity and unique character. The One MICHELIN Key is awarded to properties that are considered “true gems with personality,” where attentive service consistently goes above and beyond, delivering truly memorable stays.
The MICHELIN Guide itself noted, “It’s rare that a brand new hotel rockets straight to the top of Hong Kong’s hospitality scene, and rarer still, for obvious reasons, that it’s converted from a late-Sixties landmark government building by the eminent London-based architects Foster + Partners … The Murray’s 336 rooms and suites are, on average, the largest in Hong Kong, and they’re provided with state-of-the-art luxuries and stylish contemporary furnishings.”
The Murray enhances its renowned accommodations with an outstanding selection of dining venues, each reflecting MICHELIN-quality standards. Guests can enjoy authentic Italian fare at the rooftop Popinjays, bistro-style dishes at The Tai Pan, elegant afternoon tea and Asian specialties at Garden Lounge, specialty cocktails at Murray Lane, and contemporary Chinese cuisine at MIAN. Each restaurant highlights the hotel’s unwavering commitment to culinary excellence and unforgettable dining experiences.
“We are honoured to receive this recognition from the MICHELIN Guide,” said Mr. Dean Dimitriou, the General Manager of The Murray, Hong Kong. “This achievement celebrates our commitment to preserving heritage while delivering contemporary luxury. It is a reflection of our entire team’s dedication to creating unforgettable experiences for our guests. Being recognised among the world’s finest hotels in this inaugural selection is a testament to our unique position in Hong Kong’s hospitality landscape.”
As a central pillar of the Hong Kong SAR Government’s “Conserving Central” initiative, The Murray has masterfully transformed the historic Murray Building into a luxurious, contemporary sanctuary. Its blend of distinctive architectural heritage, modern amenities, and exceptional service has cemented its status as a cherished landmark in the central business district.
The rigorous MICHELIN Key selection process reviewed over 6,000 hotels worldwide. The MICHELIN Guide’s anonymous inspectors reviewed each hotel against the same stringent criteria used for MICHELIN Star restaurants. These Keys allow travelers to easily identify hotels offering truly outstanding stays, paralleling the recognition of excellence found in MICHELIN Star dining.
