Chater Garden and Hong Kong Hilton (1980)

Submitted by Klaus on Tue, 2015-04-21 17:00
Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1980
Places shown in this photo: 
Hilton Hotel [1963-1995]
Murray House - Murray Barracks Officer's Mess [1846-1982]
Murray Building (not Murray House which is now in Stanley) [1968- ]
HK Cricket Club pitch (1st location) [1851-1975]

I took this photo in the morning from our room at the (then) Furama Intercontinental. It was the first time in Hong Kong during daylighthours - so my main interest was the Peak and (I must admid) the buildings in the foreground were of little interest to me.

I know better now, so we see the Hilton Hotel, Murray House, Chater Garden, Murray Road Multi-Storey Car Park, and ,left of the Hilton, Murray Building. In between 1967 and 1980 the Hilton hotel lost its "Hongkong"

Cathay Hotel, King's Road [????-1941]

Submitted by Admin on Sun, 2014-04-13 17:05
Date Place demolished: 
1941-12-25

Position of marker is approximate.

Philip Cracknell has found a mention in a wartime diary that places it opposite the Ritz in North Point, so it should be somewhere near here.

He also notes that during the Japanese invasion, "The hotel received several direct hits and was burnt down".
