樓高27層,前身為政府辦公大樓美利大廈(Murray Building),由當時工務局英國現代主義建築師 Ron Phillips 設計,於1969年落成,是當時最高的政府大樓。 它已被重新用作酒店The Murray,並於2018年開業。
大廈窗口位經過精心設計,以防止過多的直射陽光進入,曾贏得1994年機電工程署「建築物能源效益獎」的優異獎。
First built in 1969 for the purpose of housing government offices, the 27-storey Murray Building was designed by the British modernist architect Ron Phillips of the Works Bureau at the time. It was the tallest government building then. It has been re-purposed as a hotel The Murray and opened in 2018.
Murray Building was designed with its windows meticulously oriented to avoid intrusion of excessive direct sunlight. This design won the Certificate of Merit of the Energy Efficient Building Award in 1994.
