After watching a movie at Aurum Theatre, you’ll no longer be able to hack it at a regular cinema. These boutique cinemas in both Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru have been thoughtfully designed with luxury in mind – they’re also appropriately named after ‘Aurum’, the chemical element for gold. Sink into one of the plush seats, each of which comes paired with a fresh set of Getha pillows and fleece blankets. Besides a personal lamp and electronic chargers by your side, there’s also a service button for an on-call staff to answer your every whim.
While they do have a range of halls, from Getha Lux Suites (from RM160) to Comfort Cabins (from RM120), each promises a luxe experience steeped in comfort. Other first-class features include cushioned Italian recliners with full-body support and for certain halls, even privacy panels and Wes Anderson-themed colour schemes.
Also, while this specialty cinema offers a lineup of Hollywood blockbusters and local films, an Aurum Pass also comes with tasty food and drinks from JIN Gastrobar. Visit at least 45 minutes before your movie, to have ample time to tuck into tapas-style sharing bites like chargrilled chicken skewers and homemade fish fingers. You can even enjoy these delectable snacks in-hall.
Find Aurum Theatre at Kuala Lumpur’s The Gardens Mall (all cinema halls) and Johor Bahru’s The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey (Getha Lux Suites).
