THE MURRAY – HONG KONG’S
NEWEST 5-STAR “PEARL”
Situated adjacent to Hong Kong Park and the Peak
Tramway, The Murray, Hong Kong opened its facilities,
restaurants and bars progressively from January of
this year. As one of eight historic landmarks under the
Conserving Central initiative introduced by the Hong
Kong government in 2013, The Murray is an inspiring
piece of architecture holding almost 50 years of history,
and a landmark building located in the heart of the
city in Central, Hong Kong. A high-profile preservation
project converted into a luxury hotel by Foster +
Partners, The Murray is celebrated as a pioneering
example of sustainability. The Murray also presents
over 1,900 square metres of exclusive meeting and
event spaces designed for luxury, fashion, art, wedding
and corporate occasions.

Gough’s on Gough
Restaurants
GOUGH’S ON GOUGH
Gough Street is a storied locale that has borne witness to
much of the modern history of Hong Kong, and has long been
a unique point of confluence for an exotic blend of eastern
and western culture. Designer Timothy Oulton has been
present on Gough Street in Hong Kong since its inception,
setting out to create inspiring interior experiences anchored
in the values of authentic handcraftsmanship and materials,
daring creativity and an ethos of hosting. The overall
designs of Gough’s on Gough, as well as all fixtures and
furnishings, have been fabricated in the same workshops
that Timothy Oulton uses in the creation of its distinctive
furniture collections, all with the intention of providing an
inspiring backdrop for the guests’ experiences. The dining
room and Moonstone bar are generously appointed, using
authentic handcrafted materials and finishes that convey a
heady ambience. And the menu, conceived by chef Arron
Rhodes, is anchored in a strong modern British cooking
philosophy, while exploring an elemental Asian purism as
well as other international influences.

Bars
THE WOOLOOMOOLOO
ROOFTOP BAR
For drinks with clients, colleagues or friends at the end
of the day, the rooftop bar above the Wooloomooloo
steakhouse on Hennessy Road – ten minutes’ walk
from the convention centre, is absolutely breathtaking.
Housed on the 31 st floor, the restaurant’s cool
and contemporary dining room is fitted with full-length
windows that frame the magnificent cityscape.
But the biggest draw is the spacious open-air rooftop
terrace, a haven for “after show” drinks with wraparound
views of bustling Wan Chai and beyond. Drop
by for a drink or book out the venue for an event to
remember. The rooftop can house around 100 people
(mostly standing) on 120 sq m floor space.

Museums
HONG KONG SPACE MUSEUM
The Hong Kong Space Museum reopened to the public
on April 25 after over two years of major renovations
costing around US$4m.
The exterior, notably the distinctive dome that makes it
a Tsim Sha Tsui landmark, is still the same. However,
the interior has been extensively refurbished, and the
displays have been enhanced, with a large number of
interactive displays and a number of brand new exhibits.
The unique egg-shaped dome makes the 8,000-squaremetre
museum one of the most famous landmarks in
Hong Kong.
