When planning a trip to Hong Kong, particularly for the Lunar New Year celebrations, finding the right place to stay is crucial. For those seeking a blend of history, luxury, and personalized service, The Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel, is a standout choice. Whether you’re a business traveler, a family seeking a cultural experience, or an expat looking for a refined getaway, The Murray promises an unforgettable stay.

Originally built in 1969 as a government office building, The Murray is a masterpiece of adaptive reuse. Preserved under Hong Kong’s “Conserving Central” initiative, it’s one of the city’s most iconic structures. Renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners spearheaded its transformation into a luxury hotel, combining the building’s historic significance with contemporary elegance. Today, its black, white, and gold marble interiors exude sophistication, while art pieces scattered throughout the property add a cultural touch.

Why is The Murray perfect for Lunar New Year? Let me count the ways:

Location, location, location Nestled in the heart of Central, The Murray offers easy access to Hong Kong’s major attractions. It’s steps away from lush parks—perfect for a morning stroll—and close to cultural landmarks like Tai Kwun and the Central Market. For Lunar New Year, you’ll be right in the middle of the festivities, with parades, lion dances, and markets within reach.

Panoramic rooftop views The rooftop restaurant and bar, Popinjays, provides sweeping views of the city’s skyline. It’s an ideal spot to enjoy Hong Kong’s dazzling New Year fireworks while indulging in European-inspired dishes and expertly crafted cocktails. The wraparound terrace makes for an unparalleled dining experience.

Festive culinary delights The Murray’s dining outlets, including The Tai Pan and Garden Lounge, offer special Lunar New Year menus. Guests can savor traditional Chinese dishes with a modern twist, from dim sum to indulgent desserts. The hotel’s breakfast, served at Murray Lane, is equally delectable, with a wide array of options to start your day right.

Cultural immersion The Murray embraces the festive spirit with its Chinese New Year Market, showcasing traditional treats, decorations, and crafts. It’s a wonderful way to experience local culture without leaving the property.

My stay experience

The Murray boasts 336 rooms and suites designed for ultimate comfort. During my stay, I was treated to a room with a view of the park across the hotel—a serene and refreshing sight amidst the city’s hustle and bustle. The room’s contemporary design, paired with thoughtful amenities, made it a haven I didn’t want to leave.

The staff at The Murray go above and beyond to ensure guests have a seamless stay. When I needed cash for a cab, a staff member accompanied me to an ATM. When that didn’t work, he used my credit card to get me cash. It’s these small but meaningful gestures that set The Murray apart.

As I was there for work, I indulged in a low-impact, full-body workout in the indoor heated pool. I enjoyed a quiet morning swim before my work day began.

As a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and a Forbes 5-star property, The Murray has earned its reputation for excellence. With around 400 staff dedicated to ensuring a flawless guest experience, it’s no wonder this hotel has become a flagship property for the Niccolo brand.

From its rich history to its impeccable service, The Murray, Hong Kong, is more than just a hotel—it’s a destination in itself. This Lunar New Year, or any other celebration, treat yourself to an urban oasis where every moment is curated to perfection.

It’s all about new trends, new beginnings and new experiences this new year, so hop on in the fun here this coming January 21, 2023 from 11AM to 3PM at the Korean Cultural Center, 59 Bayani Rd., Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City and experience Korean traditions, games and food!

Seollal (Lunar New Year) is one of the most important holidays in Korea where families get together. That’s why to celebrate another year of Kor – Phil friendship and relations, and to introduce Korean traditions of the Lunar New Year, we’re bringing not just one but six Korean traditional games and activities for you to enjoy here at KCC! Aside from trying out these exciting traditional Korean games and activities, you’ll have the chance to win amazing prizes! The event is open for everyone of all ages and interests, with prizes at a first come and first served basis.

You can try out for yourself traditional Korean games such as Ddakji, a game that involves flipping another player’s card, which became famous after Gong Yoo played it in Squid Game. You’ll be given the full experience of Ddakji as it’s presented in Squid Game, but minus the money.

 If you’re feeling a little lucky, the game Tuho might be for your liking where you’ll throw an arrow inside a pot. It’s a game of accuracy and precision that might need your concentration skills in making sure that the arrow enters the pot.

If you’re craving to break a sweat, the game Jegichagi is your thing! It’s a game silimar to the Filipino game Sipa. The rules are clear, just kick and keep the shuttlecock in the air as long as possible!

But if adventurous is your word of the day, you might want to try the Yunnori, a traditional Korean board game that uses five different sticks. The number of the face up or face down sticks in Yunnori determines how many places you advance in the board.

As all games should be, getting a prize is part of winning a game! All participants will be given a stamp card at the entrance which you will use to complete and experience all the traditional Korean games. After playing all the games, you will do a sebae, which is a traditional Korean bow during New Year to elders! You may also do this while wearing a Hanbok, should you choose to do so. After this, you can get a chance to win amazing prizes such as a gift certificate or Korean culture items! The prizes are on a first come and first served basis until supplies last.

After the sebae, you can go to the 3^rd Floor where the Cooking Classroom is located so you can get to taste a hearty bowl of Tteokguk, a rice cake soup Koreans usually eat during the Lunar New Year. In Korea, eating tteokguk means that you’ll age one year, which the infamous Korean age where Koreans add one year to their age every January 1.
