About Screen 1
161 Theatre
Screen 1 transforms how you think about hosting parties in Edinburgh. Rich red velvet sofas curve across both the main floor and upper circle tier, creating an atmosphere that's equal parts glamorous and comfortable for your 161 guests. We've watched countless celebrations unfold here, from milestone birthdays where the birthday person's favourite film plays on our massive screen, to corporate parties that break away from predictable hotel ballrooms. The room wraps your party in luxury with its deep burgundy tones and carefully designed lighting that sets the perfect mood. Our NEC Laser projection system and Dolby 7.1 digital sound turn whatever you choose to screen into an experience your guests won't forget. Some hosts surprise their guests with nostalgic film clips, others showcase company achievements, and we've even had dance parties with music videos projected larger than life. What really makes parties work here is the flow of the space. Guests naturally move between the plush seating areas, creating those spontaneous conversations that make events memorable. Our team delivers gourmet burgers, vegan pizzas, and specially crafted cocktails directly to the sofas, keeping the party energy high without anyone having to leave their seat. The upper circle offers a brilliant vantage point and often becomes its own social hub during celebrations. The St James Quarter location puts you right in Edinburgh's newest entertainment district, with York Place tram stop just minutes away. Your guests appreciate the easy access, whether they're coming from work for an evening celebration or gathering on weekends. The building's fifth-floor position gives the space an exclusive feel, removed from street-level distractions while remaining completely accessible with lifts and full wheelchair access throughout. From product launches that need impressive visuals to birthday parties wanting something more special than a restaurant booking, Screen 1 adapts to your vision while keeping that unmistakable cinema magic.
