HCX Travel: Hotel of the Week…Basking in Brunei

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Exeter chapter.

The Empire Hotel and Country Club, Brunei:

The Empire Hotel, originally built as the Sultan of Brunei’s ‘Royal Guesthouse’ is now a luxurious hotel, which reflects the country’s majestic and cultural heritage. Quoted as an outstanding 7 Star Hotel (one of only 2 in the world), it’s no surprise that guests at The Empire are treated like royals. This is your chance to become the next Kate Middleton so prepare to be spoilt rotten in this luscious hotel.

Described as a “destination itself”, The Empire Hotel is known for its opulent richness due to its connections with the Brunei Royal Family. Its delectable decadence is equal to some of the great palaces in the world. The exclusive reception area in particular – decked out with a million dollar chandelier, a $500,000 Saudi Arabian crystal camel, and more gold fixtures than you can count – dazzles beyond compare.

The hotel rooms, which feature gorgeous views of the South China Sea, cater to your every comfort and combine traditional elegance with modern convenience. The manicured gardens and network of azure swimming pools offer a tempting way to spend a sun-drenched day. The Empire is also home to a Jack Nicklaus designed golf course as well as Spa Brunei which caters to all your relaxation and rejuvenation needs. There are laser quest and bowling alley facilities available along with tennis courts and excursions to explore some of Brunei’s pristine rainforest.

The Empire Hotel is beyond luxurious. First class facilities combined with generous and helpful staff create a wonderful holiday destination where you really will be pampered beyond belief.
