Pathé Ypenburg
The Hague, Netherlands
Boxoffice Blue Ribbon 2023 | New Build
Pathé Ypenburg opened in April 2023 as the first major entertainment destination in the growing Leidschenveen-Ypenburg district in The Hague. In November 2023, Pathé introduced TheAnyThing, the world’s first private boutique cinema within a commercial theatre. It features four 2-person rooms and one 5-person room, and was an immediate success. By 2025, it had become the most visited cinema in the Netherlands. Pathé Ypenburg has 8 auditoriums with a total of 1,442 fully reclining seats, with an additional six micro-auditoriums from TheAnyThing. All auditoriums are equipped with the latest Barco laser projection technology (4K RGB), new screens and sound speakers (7.1. audio).
The cinema was designed with sustainability in mind, is easily accessible by public transportation, and still offers spacious parking facilities for cars and bicycles. The theater was built in accordance with the latest sustainability and energy guidelines, featuring highly energy-efficient climate and lighting systems, including air- and water-based heat pumps for heating and cooling. It features 720 solar panels on the roof, optimizing energy use based on occupancy and operational hours.
Pathé Ypenburg offers standard food and drinks in its self-service shop, such as popcorn and soft drinks. TheAnyThing auditoriums provide their own distinctive menu with more upscale snacks, beverages, and cocktails. Guests can order directly through the app, with their selections delivered straight to their private cinema.
Its collaboration with the private cinema concept The AnyThing is a unique highlight of the location, housing an entire boutique cinema available via private bookings within its halls. At TheAnyThing, guests can choose from over 2,000 films, including the latest theatrical releases, and book their preferred date, time, and film directly through the app. While Pathé curates regular cinema programming, TheAnyThing offers guests the freedom to enjoy a fully flexible and personalized cinema experience tailored to their schedules and preferences. The distinctive private auditorium design of TheAnyThing features unique wall panels, fully adjustable comfortable seating, and full control over the room’s lighting, volume, and pause function. Each cinema is equipped with high-end projectors and an immersive sound system. The color palette blends Pathé’s brand colors with those of TheAnyThing, creating a cohesive yet distinctive look. In total, Pathé Ypenburg features six TheAnyThing rooms: five designed for two guests and one for five guests.
Additional entertainment within the building, including Arcade Hall Sir Winston Fun & Games and Restaurant De Beren, allowing guests to enjoy activities before or after their cinema visit.
