UGC-de Brouckère

UGC-de Brouckère is a multiplex cinema in central Brussels with nine modern screening rooms. The venue has a total seating capacity of about 3,000 and features Art Deco architecture with African art influences.

The building opened in 1933 as Eldorado Cinema, replacing a previous cinema called Cinema des Princes with its Art Deco design. Over the decades, it was modernized into a multiplex while retaining aspects of its original architectural character.

The cinema shows films in multiple languages, reflecting Brussels's multilingual character. Visitors encounter a mix of local audiences speaking French and Dutch throughout the venue.

The cinema offers full wheelchair accessibility and modern sound systems across all rooms. Concession stands located throughout the building provide snacks and beverages for visitors.

The Grand Salle Eldorado retains design elements from the 1930s, including two original balconies from the historic cinema hall. These features make it a special space for film lovers who appreciate architectural heritage.
