About Cinema
48 Theatre
Step through heavy velvet curtains and find yourself in our Cinema, where 48 plush red leather armchairs await beneath an ornate Art Deco ceiling. We've transformed what was once The Scotsman's dispatch area into this intimate screening room, complete with individual side tables and vintage-style lamps beside each seat, creating the perfect atmosphere for your private film premiere or special celebration. The space captures that golden age feel with its rich burgundy tones and intricate ceiling details, while our modern projection and sound systems deliver crystal-clear presentations or films. The soundproof walls mean your event stays private, whether you're screening a corporate film, hosting a product launch with visual impact, or surprising someone with their favourite classic movie for a milestone birthday. Our location beneath the main hotel puts you right in Edinburgh's historic heart, with Waverley Station just moments away for your guests arriving by train. The Cinema works brilliantly for creative presentations where you want to wow your audience, engagement parties with a romantic film backdrop, or anniversary celebrations where you can screen personal videos and memories. We handle all the technical aspects, from connecting your devices to adjusting the lighting to create just the right mood. Our catering team can arrange anything from champagne and canapés served in the adjoining lounge to full Scottish-inspired menus, all coordinated with your screening schedule. The air conditioning keeps everyone comfortable year-round, and wheelchair access ensures all your guests can join the experience. Many clients tell us there's something special about gathering in this hidden gem, away from the bustle of the city above, where important conversations and celebrations take on an extra touch of drama in our theatrical setting.
