Private cinema ? There was a time when a film marked the end of the evening. Today, in the most inspired hotels, it has almost become the highlight. With its subdued lighting, fine drinks and enveloping seats, watching a film is like savouring a fine wine. These hotels have understood that true luxury lies in the way the night unfolds. With a selection of private screenings, a stylish cinema, a cosy atmosphere or a country house feel; staying at a hotel becomes an experience, taking on a whole new dimension.

The programme, deliberately curated, brings together classic films and special screenings.
