George Clooney or Elton John and some human rights organizations have expressed their rejection and have called for a boycott due to the imminent implementation of Islamic law by the Sultanate of Brunei.

Some people in the entertainment world are sending messages of condemnation and petition to the hotel chain, owned by Hassanal Bolkiah, an absolutist monarch and heir to a dynasty of more than six centuries. There are legendary hotels on the list: the Beverly Hills, the Bel-Air and up to eight other properties spread across London, Ascot, Paris, Rome and Milan.
