Rockwell-designed Bangkok cinema opens

Rockwell Group Europe has completed the interior of Embassy Diplomat Screens.

The luxury cinema and lounge in downtown Bangkok opened to the public on June 7 and blends high-end hospitality, design and film to offer a customised entertainment experience.

It features two lounges, a celebrity green room and five sophisticated screening rooms ranging in size from 32 to 56 seats.

Diego Gronda, managing and creative director of Rockwell Group Europe, commented: “We imagined a mix of lounge areas and screening rooms that are elegant and cozy, transporting guests into the home of a film star.

“For the screening rooms, we moved away from the traditional model where everyone sits in rows of conventional theater seats. There’s a special VIP cinema that offers a lot of flexibility.

“Guests can relax in a massage chair, on daybeds, or ‘home theatre’ style with their family, with a private mini bar at their fingertips.” 

Embassy Diplomat Screens is located on the sixth floor of Central Embassy, the new mixed-use complex developed by Thailand’s Central Retail Corporation on the site of the former British Embassy.
