ROTTERDAM, 21 March 2025 – Pathé De Kuip has introduced Rotterdam’s first cinema hall with Relax Seats, enhancing the movie-watching experience in the city.
Pathé De Kuip introduces Relax Seats in Rotterdam
Pathé De Kuip has become the first cinema in Rotterdam to feature Relax Seats. The newly opened hall is now equipped with these adjustable seats, offering enhanced comfort to visitors. Over the coming months, all cinema halls in Pathé De Kuip — except the 4DX hall — will be fitted with these seats, with completion expected before the summer holidays.
The cinema, known for being one of the busiest in the Netherlands, will ultimately feature 13 halls equipped with a total of 1,660 Relax Seats. The Dolby Cinema hall will also be upgraded with these seats, making it the second Dolby Cinema location in the Netherlands to provide this enhanced comfort.
Gradual transition ensures uninterrupted screenings
During the upgrade process, Pathé De Kuip will remain open to the public, with halls being updated one by one. The 4DX hall will retain its original seating, which is designed to complement its immersive film experience.
Doron Kurz, Commercial Director at Pathé, commented:
“We are proud to bring Relax Seats to Rotterdam, with Hall 13 now open. We prioritise innovation and aim to provide our visitors with the most comfortable and enjoyable movie experience possible. We are excited to welcome our first guests to the new Relax Seats hall today.”
What are Relax Seats?
Pathé’s Relax Seats are electrically adjustable chairs that allow guests to modify the backrest and footrest with a single button. Each seat includes a convenient table for snacks and drinks. The halls are designed to ensure optimal viewing angles from every seat.
Pathé has previously introduced Relax Seats at several other locations, including Pathé Breda, Pathé Ede, Pathé Haarlem, Pathé Eindhoven, Pathé Leeuwarden, Pathé Scheveningen, Pathé Ypenburg, and Pathé De Munt.
Visiting Pathé De Kuip
Pathé De Kuip is located in Rotterdam South, near the iconic Feyenoord Stadium. The cinema is easily accessible by public transport and offers parking facilities nearby.
