The Empire Hotel is probably the best hotel in Brunei (Bandar Seri Begawan). Although it is a little further away than where I was supposed to be during this trip, the daily 12-15 minutes journey to and fro is definitely worth the effort and time! The hotel has a grand lobby that overlooks the South China Sea and it gives... More

I have stayed at this hotel on three occasions and the experience is fantastic. From the moment you walk into the lobby you cannot be anything else but impresssed. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious with many having views of the South China Sea. The two swimming pools are brilliant one of which snakes around the complex.

We stayed here a week. On first impression it is a bit overwhelming - gold plated fittings and Italian marble in the bathrooms for example. After a while, that wears off and what you are left with is a feeling of being disconnected from reality - a feeling that the hotel seems keen to encourage. You need never leave the... More
