Karlsplatz 5, 80335 München
The Gloria Palast on Karlsplatz, the Stachus, opened on 28 August 1956, built by the film producer Ilse Kubaschewski. The 800-seat house became Munich's leading premiere cinema, known for water fountain shows that rose in illuminated columns in front of the screen curtain to organ music. It was renovated over five months and reopened in December 2012 as Munich's first premium cinema, with 240 extra-wide leather armchairs with footrests and personal tables, served by staff bringing food and drink. The building dates from 1899 and has five storeys. The Gloria Palast still hosts premieres and is a venue of the Munich Film Festival.

242 seats across stalls, balcony and Loge. Projection is 4K from Barco RGB lasers at up to 40,000 lumens with high frame rate; sound is Dolby Digital 7.1. Service at your seat, a welcome drink and the cloakroom come with the ticket.
