Luxury hotels & private cinemas: five places to experience cinema in style

Signature armchairs, intimate screening rooms, curated programmes and evenings that stretch into the night without ever leaving the premises. From Parisian palaces to elegant country retreats, certain luxury hotels turn cinema into an experience in its own right. Here is a selection of venues where the silver screen elevates the art of hospitality.

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.
