Pathé de Kuip is the first cinema in Rotterdam to have Relax Seats

Pathé De Kuip is the best-attended cinema in the Netherlands. There is now even more reason to go and see a film there. As the first cinema in Rotterdam, all theatres - with the exception of the 4DX hall - will be equipped with these luxurious adjustable seats.

With this new addition, Pathé De Kuip has the largest number of theatres within the Netherlands equipped with Relax Seats. In total, Pathé De Kuip will have 13 halls with as many as 1,660 Relax Seats. The Dolby Cinema auditorium will also be equipped with the seats, making it the second Dolby Cinema auditorium in the Netherlands to offer them.

In the coming weeks, the remaining halls will be converted one by one, so that Pathé De Kuip will remain open as usual during the works. Everything is planned to be ready before the summer holidays. The 4DX auditorium will keep its own seats, which are optimised for this film experience.

Comfortable and enjoyable film experience

Doron Kurz, Pathé Commercial Director: "We are extremely proud to bring the Relax Seats to Rotterdam and that the first auditorium, auditorium 13, has opened. We value innovation and always strive to provide our visitors with the most comfortable and enjoyable film experience. We look forward to welcoming the first visitors to the Relax Seats auditorium."

The Pathé Relax Seat is an electrically adjustable chair that allows visitors to adjust the backrest and footrest to their favourite position with one button. Each seat is equipped with a handy table for a snack and drink. The halls with Relax Seats are designed so that visitors have a perfect view of the big screen from every seat. Pathé has previously installed these Relax Seats in eight cinemas (Pathé Breda, Pathé Ede, Pathé Haarlem, Pathé Eindhoven, Pathé Leeuwarden, Pathé Scheveningen, Pathé Ypenburg and Pathé De Munt).
