Forget sticky theater floors, worn-out seats, and cramped rows where you have to stand up every time someone straggles in late. If you’re in the mood for a movie night that feels like a sophisticated experience, there’s a very special spot in Munich: the ASTOR Film Lounge at ARRI, located at Türkenstraße 91 in Maxvorstadt.
Where the long-established camera manufacturer ARRI once had its headquarters and film history was made starting in 1958, cinematic nostalgia now meets first-class comfort. Here, it’s not just about watching the latest blockbuster, but about celebrating the return of the nostalgic movie-theater experience.
From the lobby to the book room: cinema comfort on a whole new level
You’ll feel the difference the moment you step into the foyer. Here, an elegant lounge with beautiful lighting and sofas awaits you, where you’ll be welcomed with a complimentary drink. You also don’t have to worry about your coats, as a free coat check is available.
The real highlight, however, awaits you in the three screening rooms. Instead of ordinary movie theater seats, you’ll take your place in wide, adjustable leather or velvet armchairs. With plenty of legroom and built-in footrests, you can sit back and relax. The true highlight of the venue, however, is hidden in one very special screening room. The walls in the “Club” theater are lined with real bookshelves, giving the room a unique, cozy library atmosphere.
Service is also top-notch at the ASTOR Film Lounge. The staff will serve you right at your seat until just before the movie starts. Whether it’s a chilled cocktail, a good glass of red wine, a fine cheese platter, or a wide variety of snacks: at this cinema, a special menu is part of the experience.
More than just blockbusters: Where cinema becomes an experience again
The movie lineup also leaves nothing to be desired. In addition to the latest blockbusters, family-friendly films, and musical highlights, state-of-the-art technical equipment makes it possible, for example, to see “The Odyssey” as an authentic 70mm projection. Some films can also be viewed in their original English-language versions.
Whether for a special date, a lovely evening with friends, or a true highlight for all cinephiles: The ASTOR Film Lounge at ARRI turns every trip to the movies into an unforgettable event.
