FrancesThailandPleasant stay for a few days.
Beautiful hotel, in almost all aspects 5 star. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Amazing pool.
The restaurants were a disappointment. 3 of the 6 were not really restaurants but places around the lobby with lounge chairs.…

What a jewel of a resort. 20 minutes drive from the airport in an air-conditioned hotel chauffeur driven MPV, this is a very welcome relief for the long slog UK to Australia.

Atrium Closure Notice The Main Atrium (Levels 1 to 5) is currently closed in preparation for upcoming structural repairs and will remain closed for the foreseeable future. As a result, the Atrium Café and Lobby Lounge are temporarily unavailable. Afternoon tea and an all-day dining menu are now served in the Rotunda Lounge, conveniently located near Reception on Level 5. A daily buffet breakfast continues to be available on Level 4 in the Indera Kayangan Ballroom. Please note that this closure is limited to the Main Atrium and does not impact the resort’s many other facilities, including the nine separate buildings and all guest accommodation areas. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you to our alternative venues.Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation. Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply. A deposit may be required at the property.
What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about The Empire Brunei
What time is check-in and check-out at The Empire Brunei?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Empire Brunei allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Empire Brunei?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Empire Brunei have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at The Empire Brunei?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Empire Brunei have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at The Empire Brunei?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does The Empire Brunei have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Empire Brunei?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book The Empire Brunei?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
