From conception to completion, The Empire Hotel and Country Club was an ambitious project, employing over 300 highly skilled designers, technicians and craftsmen throughout its six-year construction. Since it opened on 16 October 2000, The Empire has become synonymous with Brunei: reflecting the country's majestic and cultural heritage.

Today, The Empire Hotel and Country Club is managed by a highly experienced team of dedicated professionals. Supported by the wisdom of a mainly Bruneian Board of Directors, they inspire more than 800 employees to uphold the special characteristics that have become recognised as being unique to The Empire.

Known as the Abode of Peace, Brunei is one of only two Sultanates in the world. Situated on the northern coast of Borneo in Southeast Asia it is a land of architectural Islamic grandeur and lush virgin rainforest.

Its capital, Bandar Seri Begawan glimmers with boutiques as well as national treasures such as the gold-domed Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque and the Islamic and Malay infused Istana Nurul Iman; the royal residence of His Majesty the Sultan.

With a monarchy stretching back 600 years and relatively new independence, gained in 1984, Brunei is an unique preserve of modernity, royalty and nature.

A haven for the inquisitive, Brunei also reveals the crystal-clear waters of the South China Sea, towering waterfalls in primary rainforests, endangered animals and the Iban, the island's native people and their traditional longhouses.
