Last year, the Grand Rex unveiled a brand new façade, specially renovated to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the most iconic cinema in Paris. A breath of fresh air that continues with the opening of a premium room with 296 seats on Wednesday, December 6th. A delight for movie lovers in search of luxury.

It's already cool to be able to tell your friends that you spent the evening at the cinema watching the latest indie gem from an unknown Belgian director, but now we can also add that we tested the most beautiful cinema in the world (because we always have to exaggerate). For that, let's head to the Grand Rex: the legendary Parisian cinema just announced the inauguration of its new premium "Infinite" theater, this Wednesday, December 6. The promise of one of the most beautiful movie theaters in the world, which will now replace theater number 2. Cinephilia, but make it classy. Making the Grand Rex a "movie palace" Are Parisian cinemas becoming more bourgeois? Rising ticket prices, expanded amenities and services... This shift towards luxury is becoming more and more noticeable in the buildings dedicated to the seventh art in the capital. The Pathé Parnasse revealedIn December 2022, it will present its fully premium offer, with an entrance ticket priced at 18.50€ at full price, laser projections, and exceptional comfort thanks to reclining seats. This trend is followed by the famous cinema of the Grands Boulevards, none other than the Grand Rex.

After several years of work and tens of millions of euros invested since 2015, the cinema unveiled last year its roof and its facade, completely renewed. As Alexandre Hellman, the general manager of the place, indicated in an interview with BFM-TV, he intends to become the " premier destination for high-end cinema ", a " Movie Palace " with a " more classy, more premium " spirit. Champagne-colored escalator, chandeliers imported from Italy, bathrooms worthy of a five-star hotel... Everything is there, but the highlight is undoubtedly its new premium movie theater.

Going from a capacity of 500 seats to 296 seats, the theater is equipped with reclining leather seats, numbered for convenience. Each row is spaced 1.40 m apart to provide more comfort and legroom. You can also count on Dolby Atmos sound, a 10 m base Real-D Ultimate screen, and laser technology for a fully immersive movie experience. The theater can even change colors and adapt to the atmosphere and identity of the film.

At the back of the room, a high-end and futuristic bar will offer « high-quality products » to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger.
