Embassy Cinemas is a boutique cinema in the heart of Valletta, on St Lucia Street. It shows the latest releases across six screens in a relaxed, comfortable setting, with a bar and food that you can enjoy in the auditorium. For visitors it is a handy wet-weather or late-evening option within the walls of the capital, and it is listed in our directory of cinemas in Malta.
The cinemas and seating
The venue has six theatres of different sizes. Seating comes in two main grades: standard seats, and premier seating, which is a mix of armchairs and sofas with more leg room and wider armrests. Watching a film from a sofa, with a glass of prosecco and a platter beside you, is the signature idea. All theatres and the foyer are air conditioned, and every theatre has wheelchair spaces that you can select when booking.
A Star Lounge screen is used for special events such as live football. Food and drink bought outside may not be taken into the auditorium, but a range of snacks and bar items is on sale.

Valletta Living History and private hire
Valletta Living History is a 35-minute docu-drama, produced locally, that tells the story of the city in an entertaining way and suits children, teenagers and families. It is a good companion to a visit to St John's Co-Cathedral or a read of our Knights of Malta history.
All six theatres can be hired for private functions, from family birthdays to corporate events, with outside catering and audio-visual equipment available as extras. Schools, clubs and businesses can ask about group discounts and package prices. Children's birthday parties are another use, as an alternative to a soft play area.
The Embassy Club is a free loyalty scheme for regular cinemagoers, giving members news, special offers and online ticket purchase. Gift vouchers are on sale, and there is a link to The Rooftop Restaurant, with a voucher offer for club members who collect enough points before the end of 2026. Joining takes a name and email address, and it is a pleasant way to hear about new releases before you travel.
