If you’re fluent in English and have a passion for film, then we invite you to visit Cinéma Stella in Dublin. Far from being a standard cinema, the venue was named number 1 by TimeOut of the 50 best cinemas in the UK and Ireland. The reason: its exceptional setting and 1923 decor. On the program: art-deco lamps, soft red armchairs, sofas and beds for two… You’ll feel right at home… in a Year 20 atmosphere that’s sure to please everyone!

A cosy, retro darkroom with unique comfort!
Cinema Stella in Dublin
The Stella cinema is located in Rathmines, Dublin.
When it opened in 1923, it was the largest cinema in Ireland, with a capacity of 1,283. A highly modern building for its time!
Over time, the Stella expanded, doubling its capacity in 1970 to serve as a concert venue.
Recently renovated, the venue offers an exceptional experience à la Gatsby The Magnificent. Just imagine: not only will you be able to settle comfortably into one of its leather armchairs (complete with table and dimmed lamp)… but you can also opt for a sofa, or a double bed, so that you can watch your film just like at home, with a cashmere plaid on your lap for optimum comfort!
Not to mention the grandiose architecture of the venue. It has 2 floors, and its vaulted ceiling, typical of the 1920s style, is an enchantment to behold.
As you can see, the Stella is a cinema that focuses on comfort and space. Forget the huddled rooms. Here, every viewer feels privileged, and can enjoy his or her film in unusual, cosy comfort.
But there is a cost to deserving such decadence. The Stella armchairs cost 19 euros each, while the luxury bed and sofas cost 38 euros for two… But let’s face it: it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. (It’s a change from the huge, impersonal multiplexes we come across most of the time).
The icing on the cake: the establishment also boasts a chic, 100% art deco cocktail bar… as well as a magnificent restaurant, famous for its buttermilk chicken and cinnamon churros. There’s plenty to enjoy before or after a movie!
