 The
Theaters at the River integrate luxurious character inspired by the
history of bygone movie palaces along with contemporary amenities and
styling. The state-of-the-art theater complex seats 2,958 patrons and
offers 12 large screens.
The interiors of The Theaters are designed to be comfortable and luxurious while delighting movie patrons with a full view of the desert sky, the local Santa Rosa Mountains and the adjacent pedestrian plaza and lake. Tinted, dual-glazed fritted glass was chosen for its ability to deflect the desert heat without distorting the view. The lobby of The Theaters is
characterized by natural materials such as wood-paneled walls,
limestone and slate. Paint colors are sophisticated tans, taupes and
beiges. Theatrical gel lights mounted on the lobby's copper-clad
ceiling highlight a series of five custom, oil-painted murals depicting
scenes from the history of entertainment. A classical bar and cafŽ
stools surround three plasma screens where visitors can enjoy snacks
and watch movie previews. A custom-designed, geometric-patterned carpet
guides movie patrons down sconce-lined hallways to auditoriums where
oversized, fabric-covered stadium seating ensures a comfortable
experience and unparalleled view.
