"Date Night in an Art Deco Palace With its flamboyant facade, art deco foyer, and main hall outfitted with love seats and private boxes, the Pathé Tuschinski Cinema makes going to the movies a romantic affair. Framed by ornate twin towers, the historic building between the Munttoren (mint tower) and Rembrandtplein was constructed by Polish immigrant Abraham Tuschinski, a Jewish tailor who capitalized on a new craze. The imposing 1,200-seat theater mixes art deco elements with Dutch Amsterdam School style, art nouveau, and Tuschinski's own taste. Today, Hollywood blockbusters are screened in the theater, now operated by Pathé. In the main hall, snuggle up in love seats or order wine and a meal from a private box. On red-carpet-premiere nights, watch celebs arrive in stretch limos and preen for the paparazzi to the delight of local filmgoers."
Absolutely the most beautiful cinema I’ve ever been to. The interior is breathtaking, and I love that they offer not just standard seats, but also cozy couches — perfect if you want a more intimate movie experience. A must-visit even if you're not a huge film fan!

An unforgettable cinematic experience in one of the most beautiful theaters in the world. Tuschinski is a true architectural jewel—an extraordinary blend of Art Deco, Amsterdam School, and Jugendstil design, meticulously preserved since its opening in 1921. The level of detail throughout—from the sweeping murals, stunning stone details, and rich velvet seats to the dramatic lighting and hand-crafted woodwork—is simply stunning.
The theater is not just a monument to the golden age of cinema, but a living example of how heritage can be conserved and actively enjoyed. Watching a film here feels like stepping back in time, yet the projection and sound are fully modern.
I highly recommend booking a love seat in the main hall—it’s spacious, elegant, and perfectly placed to soak in the atmosphere of this cinematic palace as it was meant to be experienced. 🎬🏛️✨

This theater was magnificent. It felt like I was stepping back in time to a more beautiful era of entertainment. It was one of the most beautiful retro theaters i have ever been to. The atmosphere and ambiance exudes classiness. I wish there were theaters like this one. The theater seats were little love seat couches. They were soft, comfortable and had a plush pillow. I loved the little table lamp lighting experience. The picture quality and audio were excellent. I highly recommend this theater experience, to the younger generations especially.

The place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. However, the movie room was quite disappointing it, just like any regular modern cinema. It would be helpful if the website made it clearer that the interior includes newly renovated rooms like this. It was a bit frustrating, as we were expecting something more unique!

A truly unique place with a history of 104 years.
An experience that gives you a travel back in time 🕰️ where you can feel how people experienced luxurious movie watching.
I recommend seeing a movie here, besides the feel of the place.

Wonderful venue, rich in history and interior decoration. Watched a movie in one of smaller screens but still excellent quality and sound. Highly recommended

The building from the outside and inside makes a huge impression. Waiting for a movie there sitting on the couch is pure pleasure. We went to see the Movie in room number 5. The room was nicely lit with night lamps, comfortable seats with a handy table for snacks. The buffet was also very nice. The only minus I noticed in room number 5 while watching a movie on the Cinema screen at the bottom of the screen near the middle was wrinkled. I think this should be corrected with such a magnificent building, because while watching a movie you simply have uncertainty on the screen. It is a small area, but still visible. Everything else is a big positive.
