East Wing
victorwkf Says:
The East Wing of the hotel is just next to the main building and lobby area, and the good thing about this wing is that the rooms are all facing the South China Sea. However, be prepared to pay more for the good views.

Empire Arcade
Helpfulness
victorwkf 4529 reviews
If you want to do some shopping at the Empire Hotel & Country Club, there is a shopping arcade just next to the main lobby area. However, the shopping here is quite limited and not cheap, which is to be expected. The problem with this hotel is that it is very far way from the main town Bandar Seri Begawan and a ride there will take about 30 minutes one way.
