Empire Hotel Voted The Best In Brunei

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Empire Hotel and Country Club has been voted the country's leading hotel for the third year running in the prestigious World Travel Awards, according to a press release.

The resort also collected three accolades in Smart Travel Asia magazine's "The-Best in Travel 2006" awards. In the 13th annual World Travel Awards, the Empire Hotel and Country Club was voted Brunei's leading hotel from a poll of 167,000 travel professionals worldwide, including 110,000 travel agents.

The award was presented at a glittering ceremony in the Caribbean Turks and Caicos islands in September. World Travel Awards president Graham E. Cooke said, "Being a WTA winner is all about prestige - a true endorsement of a company's achievements and services by fellow travel professionals."

Empire Hotel and Country Club general manager Anne Busfield said, "We are delighted to be recognised again as the pre-eminent resort hotel in Brunei."

In Smart Travel Asia's "The Best in Travel 2006" awards, the Empire Hotel and Country Club was voted in the Top 25 of three categories in a poll of readers.

Readers ranked the resort 22"' among Asia's best business hotels, 20t' among Asia's best conference hotels and 91 among Asia's best leisure hotels and resorts.

"Votes are by readers and hopefully we'will climb up the ladder next year once more," said Busfield.

The Empire Hotel and Country Club previously won the World's Leading Presidential Suite three years in a row in the World Travel Awards.
