In the Murray’s redo, the existing car ramp was transformed into a long, luxurious lobby dressed in marble and bronze stainless steel for a black, white, and gold palette.

White Carrara marble stairs in lobby lounge Murray Lane lead to the restaurants above.

The exterior of the iconic building designed in 1969 by Ron Phillips was left mostly untouched, highlighting its graceful ground-floor arches.

Housed in the lofty and light-filled lobby, Murray Lane boasts a moody vibe with a backlit bar and reflective ceiling.

An elegant atmosphere pervades the Garden Lounge, where the surrounding greenery on the border of the hotel is visible through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.

Deluxe bathrooms are awash in marble with black accents, completing the simple, minimalist design.

Sophisticated materials such as leather and plush textiles give the more than 800-square-foot Explorer suite a residential feel.

In the contemporary Signature suite, as with other guestrooms, work areas have been moved near windows that frame city views.
