Little Steps Reviews: The Murray, Hong Kong – Luxury Oasis In The Heart Of The City

FAMILY-FRIENDLY AMENITIES

From the moment we stepped into The Murray, we felt the warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Our toddler was thrilled with the thoughtfully curated kids' welcome pack, featuring an activity book, pencils, and an adorable cockatoo plush toy, sparking excitement for the adventures ahead.

We stayed in the Explorer Suite, which boasts stunning views of the city and harbor. The suite's practical layout, with a separate living room, was ideal for our family, which included a toddler and two newborns. The room was equipped with essentials like a sterilizer, bottle warmer, cots, and even beautiful kids' amenities. The blackout blinds and double-glazed windows ensured a peaceful environment for much-needed naps and bedtimes. The bathroom, adorned with luxurious Grown Alchemist amenities and gold finishes, added a touch of elegance.

The indoor pool quickly became a family favorite, offering a refreshing escape from the summer heat and rain. We also made a quick stop at the well-equipped gymnasium, perfect for a quick workout or stretch. For a more relaxing experience, the Wellness at The Murray offers an extensive menu of treatments, perfect for recharging.

For an enhanced stay add-on, The Cassia Lounge Package, which includes freshly cooked meals to order, an evening cocktail hour with free-flow Ruinart, premium spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages.
