The Empire Hotel is an ornate complex surrounded by beautiful grounds which provide a sense of luxury and relaxation. The rooms are large and well-appointed, although a bit dated. The service from the staff is excellent, but I encountered issues with dining as the food was often not hot and the breakfast setup felt inconvenient. While the facilities are numerous and entertaining, the hotel's location makes it challenging to find dining options outside without incurring extra costs.
