Skyline Film Bangkok brings six classic films to Shanghai Mansion, where a pop up cinema takes over the boutique hotel from 7 to 9 August.

For one weekend this August, Shanghai Mansion Bangkok will swap its usual role as boutique hotel for a cinema, as Skyline Film Bangkok brings six classic films to Cotton Ballroom on the sixth floor.

Set against interiors inspired by 1930s Shanghai, the programme pairs well known titles with one of Bangkok’s most atmospheric venues. Guests watch each screening on a large screen using wireless headphones, creating a more personal viewing experience while keeping outside noise to a minimum. Every ticket also includes one complimentary drink.
