Going to the movies is a great leisure activity especially in the summer. Going to an air-conditioned movie theatre with nice buttery popcorn and a great film is a good alternative. Nowadays, many theatres are constructed like airplanes, in that the seats are all squished together and there is minimal legroom and pretty much no room to recline.
However, Cinema Pathé, located in Switzerland, is looking to change this. This cinema has recently opened their “VIP bedroom” screening room, which comes fitted with double beds, rather than the normal and confining movie theatre seats.
Cinema Pathé aims to give you a movie-going experience that is similar to that of your own home cinema. The VIP bedroom section features 11 beds with adjustable headrests and soft bedsheets. There are even bedside tables that allow you to put your free popcorn and drink. That is correct, the drinks and popcorn are free. By paying $48.50 for the VIP experience, you get complimentary drinks and snacks along with your double bed.
The complimentary snack part is great since it means you get to save time waiting in a line.
Additionally, every customer is given their own pair of slippers to round out the overall comfort of the experience. Now you might be thinking about hygiene, but the CEO of Pathé Switzerland, Venanzio Di Bacco, assures customers that all the bed sheets are cleaned and replaced before every film.
“The hygiene aspect is very important to us.”, Di Bacco says.
All that is left for the customer to do is enjoy watching a movie in bed. Just make sure you don’t fall asleep.
There are other Cinema Pathé VIP rooms which are pretty cool, some of which include a cinema with double sofas, an IMAX screen, as well as a kids’ cinema that is filled with bean bags, a ball pit, and a slide to use instead of stairs.
