W O M E N ' S C U L T U R E 35 Raising the curtain on luxury cinema, the Platinum experience starts from the moment you walk through the heavy glass doors and give your coat to the concierge. If you arrive early, which is the idea, then take a moment to relax in the stylish lounge next to the grand piano (Melbourne) or crack a bottle of bubbles in the Prosecco Bar (Sydney). In-cinema dining has been taken up a notch at Palace Platinum with a curated menu from nearby restaurants including Meat &Wine Co (Melbourne), Din Tai Fung (Sydney), Tim Ho Wan (Brisbane) and not to mention the “diners” 3-page wine and beer list. Don’t worry, choc tops are still on the menu with grown up flavours like café grande. The whole experience from start to finish feels like you’re waiting to board a first-class flight to Paris. The best bit? At the touch of button in-cinema you can have Champagne delivered throughout the movie. All the cinemas have been designed for a truly intimate viewing experience with some theatres seating as little as 14 guests. Each cinemagoer gets their own handcrafted Spanish leather recliner chair to kick their feet up on. Ticket prices start at $22 for Movie Club members and can be purchased in-cinema but it’s better to plan ahead to avoid disappointment by booking online at palacecinemas.com.au/palace- platinum.
