The Empire Brunei is a luxury hotel located in Kampong Jerudong, near the capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, in the Brunei–Muara District of Brunei.[4] Originally funded by Prince Jefri Bolkiah and completed in 2000, the hotel encountered financial difficulties that resulted in government investment and a transfer of ownership.[5] Relaunched in 2019 with updated branding,[6] the hotel offers a range of accommodations, including the "Emperor Suite".[7] The hotel has won some awards, including for its golf course, and has hosted a number of ASEAN events.
