 Istana Nurul Iman Travel Guide
The Istana Nurul Iman, the official residence of the sultan, is sited at a superb riverside spot 4km west of the capital.
Bigger than either Buckingham Palace or the Vatican, the istana is a monument to self-indulgence.
Its design, by Filipino architect Leandro Locsin, is a sinuous blend of traditional and modern, with Islamic motifs such as arches and domes, and sloping roofs fashioned on traditional longhouse designs, combined with all the mod cons you'd expect of a house whose owner earns an estimated US$5 million a day.
