Gloria Palast lets a company rent an entire cinema in central Munich for up to 240 guests. The hall suits product presentations, press conferences, symposia, roadshows, staff meetings and private screenings. The cinema stands at Karlsplatz 5 in the Altstadt-Lehel district and is run by Kinopolis, whose event team answers requests from companies and B2B partners.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists the formats the team organizes: roadshow, film screening, company event, conference, press screening, staff event and works meeting. A presentation or a conference uses the cinema's own equipment, so slides, video and sound run on the same system that shows feature films. The request form lets an organiser state the start time, the duration, the number of guests, whether catering is wanted and which technical equipment is needed.
The venue says branding options are almost unlimited, which suits product launches and sponsored events. A 3D virtual tour, a venue film and printed brochures are available, so a planner can review the space before a site visit.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall is called Gloria. It has 242 seats, including 2 places for wheelchair users, and the event page quotes 240 seats for a full rental. The screen measures 13.87 by 5.89 meters and the sound system is Dolby Digital 7.1. The hall supports 3D, 4K and high frame rate projection. The laser projectors from Barco reach up to 40,000 lumens, which helps with bright slides and brand films.
The balcony can be booked on its own. It holds 48 guests and has its own bar and buffet. A screening on the balcony includes a sparkling wine reception and a cloakroom service. Wheelchair access to the hall is limited to the 2 places in the stalls, so a planner with guests who use wheelchairs should raise this in the first message.
Catering
Food and drink come from the cinema's own offer. Besides the items on the regular menu, the team prepares flexible concepts built around the needs of the client. The request form asks directly whether catering is wanted, so it is part of the planning from the first message.
How to start
Requests go to the event team by form or by email. The team asks for a preferred date, the type of event and the guest count. Private screenings for associations, school groups and birthdays are handled through the cinema itself rather than the company form.
