The venue now known as The Empire Hotel has always been an institution in the Kings Cross nightlife scene. Launching as Sydney�s first strip club, for over 30 years, the building operated as �Les Girls� only closing down in the early 90�s. Purchased from the �Mr. Big� of Sydney crime, Abe Saffron, the Empire as it now stands was born. Now boasting 3 massive levels with 5 distinct bars, they believe that they can offer something for everyone.
