Palace Cinemas Raine Square Guide: Hours, Platinum, Menu & Tickets

There’s something quietly satisfying about a cinema that doesn’t make you choose between a blockbuster and a decent seat. Palace Cinemas Raine Square, tucked into the top level of Perth’s Raine Square redevelopment, brings both: nine standard screens and four Palace Platinum boutique cinemas with handcrafted Spanish leather recliners, and covers the practical details—hours, tickets, Platinum versus standard, and how to get there without circling the block.

Opened: 2020 (part of Raine Square redevelopment) ·
Screens: 9 standard + 4 Palace Platinum ·
Platinum seating: Handcrafted Spanish leather recliners ·
Location: 300 Murray Street, Perth, WA 6000 ·
Transit: Direct underground from Perth Busport at Yagan Square

The following table summarises the key facts about the venue.

What are the opening hours of Palace Cinemas at Raine Square?

The cinema doors open 15 minutes before the first scheduled session of the day, and the box office and phone lines follow the same pattern, according to Palace Cinemas Raine Square (official venue page). In practice, first sessions typically start around 9:45am and final screenings end by 9:30pm — that’s the window reported by Visit Perth (tourism authority). Holiday hours can shift, and the best way to confirm is checking the session listings a day ahead on the Palace website.

Standard daily hours versus holiday exceptions

Most days follow the same rhythm: first film starts around 9:45am, last film wraps shortly after 9pm. On public holidays (Christmas Day, Good Friday), the complex may open later or close earlier — but no standing notice is published year-round. The official Palace site lets you filter by date, so it’s worth a quick look before heading out.

• Normal daily start: 9:45am (doors at 9:30am) (Visit Perth)
• Last session typically ends by 9:30pm (Palace Cinemas Raine Square)
• Holiday exceptions not pre-published; check session listings (Palace Cinemas Raine Square)

Last session start times

Platinum screens sometimes have a later last start because of the dining service, but the general rule is that the final screening across any screen begins no later than 7:30pm to allow a 9:30pm finish. Again, real-time listings are your friend.

In short, the cinema’s schedule is session‑driven, so checking the day’s listings is the most reliable method.

Does Palace Cinemas Raine Square have a menu for food and drinks?

Yes, and the answer splits neatly depending on whether you’re in a standard screen or a Platinum lounge. The standard candy bar serves the usual popcorn, soft drinks, sweets, and choc‑tops — typical cinema fare. According to Palace Platinum (premium cinema product page), Platinum ticketholders get a private bar and in‑cinema table service with a menu curated by restaurant partners. The venue also has four separate bars and lounges, including a rooftop terrace overlooking the city, per Palace Cinemas Raine Square.

One pattern: the standard line‑up has no hot‑food kitchen, while Platinum offers a full in‑seat dining experience comparable to Gold Class at competitor chains — but with a boutique twist. The trade‑off is price: Platinum tickets run around $34 (per Tripadvisor reviews), while standard tickets are lower.

Standard confectionery options

Here are the typical candy bar offerings.

Platinum lounge dining menu

• Hot dishes (e.g., burgers, sliders, pizza, salads) sourced from on‑site restaurant partners (Palace Platinum)
• Curated bar list: cocktails, premium wines, craft beers (Palace Platinum)
• Served directly to your leather recliner before and during the film (Palace Platinum)

What this means: if you want a full dining experience, Platinum is the clear choice; otherwise standard offers value.

What is the difference between standard screens and Platinum at Palace Raine Square?

The core difference — and the reason many visitors choose this venue over others — is the seating and service tier. Palace Cinemas Raine Square (official site) says both standard and Platinum screens feature handcrafted Spanish leather recliners, but Platinum ups the ante with a dining menu, a private bar, and wait service at your seat. Flicks (Australian cinema guide) confirms that all screens have leather reclining seats, so the standard experience is already above average.

Two tiers, one key trade‑off: Platinum costs more but includes food and drink service; standard is cheaper and still luxurious by traditional cinema standards. The comparison table below lays it out.

The pattern: Platinum offers exclusivity at a premium, but standard already delivers a superior seat.

How do I get tickets for Palace Cinemas Raine Square?

Tickets are available online through the Palace Cinemas Raine Square official booking portal or at the box office on the top level of Raine Square. Online booking lets you choose standard or Platinum and pre‑order menu items for Platinum sessions. The box office opens 15 minutes before the first session and stays open until the last film starts, per Palace Cinemas Raine Square. For group bookings or private events, the site has a contact form.

What this means: if you want to guarantee a Platinum seat on a Friday night, book online. Walk‑ups are fine for standard screens most weekdays.

Online booking via Palace Cinemas website

• Select cinema (Raine Square), film, date, and screen type (Palace Cinemas Raine Square)
• Choose seats from interactive map (recliners are clearly marked) (Palace Cinemas Raine Square)
• Payment by credit card, Palace gift card, or loyalty points

Box office tickets at venue

• Located on Level 1 (Top Level) of Raine Square, 300 Murray Street (Palace Cinemas Raine Square)
• Open daily 15 mins before first session
• Cash and card accepted, but Palace recommends card for speed

The implication: online booking is best for busy sessions, while walk‑ups work for off‑peak times.

How do I find Palace Cinemas Raine Square inside the Raine Square complex?

The cinema occupies the top level of Raine Square, a modern mixed‑use development at 300 Murray Street in the Perth CBD. According to Palace Cinemas Raine Square, the fastest way to reach it is via the direct underground walkway from Perth Busport at Yagan Square — you enter Raine Square from below and take the escalators up. If you’re arriving by car, Wilson Parking’s Raine Square Car Park (westbound Wellington Street only) offers a validated flat rate for nights and weekends; the Queen Street Car Park also works, per Palace Cinemas Raine Square. Flicks adds that the first two hours of validated parking are free.

The pattern: transit‑first design. The busport connection means you can step off a bus and be at the escalator in under a minute.

Direct underground access from Perth Busport

• Yagan Square Busport connects to Raine Square via a covered walkway (Palace Cinemas Raine Square)
• Train: Perth Station is a 5‑minute walk through the City Link tunnel (Visit Perth)
• Parking: validated discount at Wilson Parking (Raine Square Car Park), first 2 hours free, then $? (Flicks)

Entry via Murray Street entrance

• Ground‑level entry at 300 Murray Street, then lift or escalator to Top Level (Palace Cinemas Raine Square)
• Alternatively, enter from Wellington Street via the Raine Square car park lift

The takeaway: the cinema’s direct transit link makes it one of the most accessible venues in the city.

Palace Raine Square summary

For Perth moviegoers, Palace Raine Square fills a gap: a luxury boutique cinema that still screens mainstream hits. The Platinum tier delivers a full dining experience in a recliner, while the standard seats are already more comfortable than most multiplexes. The trade‑off is clear: if you want hot food and a cocktail with your film, pay for Platinum and book early. If you just want a great seat and a bag of popcorn, the standard screens are priced fairly and still a cut above. For the Perth CBD visitor catching a bus or train, the underground access makes it one of the most accessible cinemas in the city — no car needed.
