The Murray, Hong Kong, a Niccolo Hotel, has appointed Evelyn Yo as Director of Communications and Anton Kilayko as Brand Director.

In her new role, Yo will oversee The Murray’s advertising, marketing communications and public relations initiatives to promote Niccolo Hotel’s flagship property to an international audience.

Part of The Murray’s pre-opening team, Yo joined The Murray in April 2017 as Assistant Director of Communications. Throughout her distinguished career in luxury hospitality and retail, she has held leadership roles in marketing with Leviev Diamonds and The Ritz-Carlton Hotels.

Prior to The Murray, Yo was General Manager of Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design, a non-profit initiative committed to raising the profile of design and culture through creative experiences.

The Murray has also promoted communications veteran Anton Kilayko to an executive role as Brand Director.

Since October 2016, Kilayko served as the pre-opening Director of Communications.

A highly respected branding and communications expert, Kilayko brings a wealth of experience to his role. He has worked with luxury travel and hospitality brands as Director of Sales and Marketing at Orient-Express Hotels Trains and Cruises (now Belmond), and Director of Communications at The Ritz-Carlton.

Before relocating to Hong Kong for The Murray, Kilayko spent six years as Head of Marketing and Investor Relations at KOP Limited, a Singapore Exchange (SGX) catalyst listed integrated lifestyle company with interests in luxury residential real estate, hospitality and entertainment.

“We are excited to announce these new promotions,” said Duncan Palmer, managing director of The Murray, Hong Kong. “We are confident that Evelyn and Anton’s exceptional talents in branding and communications will continue to help position The Murray as Hong Kong’s leading luxury hotel and to identify new partnership opportunities for The Murray.”
