VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Hospitality meets opulence in regal fashion at The Empire Brunei, a royal guesthouse-turned-resort perched along Borneo’s northwestern coast. Gilded domes, Italian marble floors and crystal chandeliers hint at the iconic hotel’s royal origins, while its sprawling grounds offer an oasis of tranquility. The rooms, spacious and adorned with fine woodwork and luxurious furnishings, boast breathtaking views of either the South China Sea or lush gardens. Dining is an experience in itself, with a handful of restaurants offering everything from Asian delicacies to Mediterranean fare. Lagoon-facing Pantai’s alfresco setting is particularly enchanting at sunset.
For relaxation, the spa provides traditional therapies that leave you feeling utterly renewed. Beyond these indulgences, other activities call: swim in the lagoon pool, stroll along the private beach or play a round of golf — day or night. Whether you’re seeking adventure or leisure, The Empire Brunei’s perfect blend of luxury and nature offers an unforgettable stay.
