Hyatt Regency Greenwich Introduces Townsend Cinema: A First-Of-Its-Kind Hotel Cinema Experience

OLD GREENWICH, Connecticut (July 8, 2025) — Lights, camera, cocktails! Hyatt Regency

Greenwich is proud to announce Townsend Cinema, by Monoplex, opens Thursday, July 10.

The stylish new 40-seat theater offers hotel guests and locals an elevated way to enjoy the

latest Hollywood blockbuster movies, as well as host private events and intimate

gatherings—without leaving the hotel. Townsend Cinema, Greenwich’s only movie theater, will

show movies seven days a week, offering two showings Monday through Thursday and four to

five showings Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

More than just a movie theater, Townsend Cinema is an immersive, premium destination

blending hospitality with entertainment. Located just off the hotel’s newly renovated atrium-style

lobby, the Cinema pairs new Hollywood movies—shown at the same time they can be seen in

other commercial theaters—with luxurious oversized recliner heated seating, plush drapery, and

ambient lighting to create a rich, lounge-like atmosphere. Before the show, guests can enjoy a

highly curated selection of gourmet grab and go items from Glenna’s Cafe just steps from the

theater entrance. Alternatively, dinner and drinks are available at Townsend Bar, the hotel’s

one-of-a-kind, moonlit bar, led by Executive Chef Joe D’Agostino. The Cinema will soon offer

in-seat handcrafted cocktails, a curated selection of beer and wine, signature popcorn flavors,

and gourmet bites to enhance the cinematic experience. Specialty cocktails inspired by each

movie will also be available for guests to enjoy.

“Townsend is a thoughtfully designed, softly lit space that blends warmth and sophistication.

With plush seating, and a calming palette, the atmosphere feels both inviting and elevated.

Every detail—from the ambient lighting to the artful decor—encourages connection, comfort,

and a sense of quiet exclusivity,

” said Shawn Nayyar, general manager of Hyatt Regency

Greenwich.

“With the latest releases, world-class cinema technology, and a luxe lounge feel, the

Cinema reimagines what entertainment can look like in the hospitality space. We knowTownsend will become a centerpiece for connection and entertainment as it will be perfect for a

private movie screening, cozy weekend date night, corporate event or social gathering.

The cinematic space was made possible in partnership with Monoplex, a global leader in

bespoke hotel theater installations. The 40-seat theater invites guests to experience movies in a

state-of-the-art environment with crystal-clear screens and rich Dolby 7.1 surround sound. The

venue blends sophisticated design with cutting-edge audio-visual technology and seamless

operations, enabling everyday showings and special event programming.

“We are proud to partner with Hyatt Regency Greenwich and Trinity Investments to bring the

Monoplex premium cinema experience to life in Greenwich,

” said Ray Seok, founder and CEO

of Monoplex.

into a vibrant amenity that elevates the guest experience and invites the local community in.
