Cinema, Curated: Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge unveils expanded lounge, new theater at Gateway Mall 2
There’s a new address for luxury in Manila’s entertainment scene, and it’s found at Gateway Mall 2. Here, Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge unveils its latest jewel—an expanded lounge and additional theater—inviting the city’s most discerning cinephiles and gourmands to experience moviegoing as never before.
This premium space at the edge of the mall's massive Gateway Cineplex 18 now opens to an elevated world where comfort and sophistication reign. Its newly expanded lounge, now more spacious and inviting, sets the stage for indulgence. Its newly added cinema, called Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge Cinema C, promises a grander viewing experience with 78 plush La-Z-Boy recliners and state-of-the-art Dolby ATMOS surround sound that envelops audiences in every moment of the latest blockbusters.
“We were thrilled by the warm reception of everyone to this kind of next-level cinema experience. As the leader in delivering reimagined moviegoing here in the country, Araneta City continues to bring to the fore one-of-a-kind concepts. We now build on what we’ve done with Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge and give guests an elevated blend of dining and entertainment through this expansion,” Irene Jose, COO of Uniprom Inc (the entertainment arm of Araneta City) said.
Gateway Cineplex 18, already the metro’s largest cineplex, continues to set the bar for elevated moviegoing. With each new concept, it redefines what it means to enjoy the big screen: by transforming a simple night at the movies into a celebration of culture, taste, and style.
“With Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge Cinema C, we’re further pushing the boundaries of what a cinema could and should be. This expansion is not just about adding more seats, it’s about allowing more moviegoers to discover what makes Gateway Cineplex 18 an innovative leader in entertainment,” Jose said.
The expanded Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge is more than just a cinema. It’s a destination where the pleasures of film and fine dining converge. Guests are treated to the culinary artistry of Wolfgang Zwiener, whose gourmet creations elevate every screening into a feast for the senses. Promising unparalleled entertainment coupled with delicious culinary treats, Wolfgang’s Premiere Lounge offers a setting that is as memorable as the films themselves.
This development at Gateway Cineplex 18 is not just any other expansion. It’s an invitation to experience and celebrate cinema as an art form, where food, leisure, and entertainment come together in perfect harmony. For Manila’s tastemakers, this is the new destination to see and be seen.
GATEWAY CINEPLEX 18 at Araneta City, the country’s first and largest cineplex spread across Level 4 of Gateway Mall 1 and 2, continues to set the standard in cinematic entertainment. With more than 3,000 seats and 18 modern cinemas —the most in any mall in Metro Manila —it has become a top destination for blockbuster premieres, film festivals, and exclusive screenings. Each cinema is equipped with cutting-edge digital sound, Boral acoustic walls for enhanced audio clarity, and full stadium seating for optimal viewing comfort.
