Cinema Details
The new and improved Palace James St (previously Palace Centro) hosts ten screens, including our three upgraded auditoriums with plush recliners and five luxurious cinemas featuring handcrafted chairs from Spain, the front two rows of which semi-recline, maintaining perfect sight lines for the ideal view no matter where you sit. We’re proud to offer an alternative to mainstream cinemas by showcasing a mix of quality blockbusters, international and local art-house films, as well as our renowned film festivals. Our ten cinemas are fully licensed, so you can take advantage of our curated drinks menu, which pairs perfectly with a cheese platter, charcuterie, and a post-film debrief!
The cinema doors and phone lines are open 15 minutes prior to the first session of the day.
