Cork’s Coliseum cinema may be demolished for €15m new build

A Cork City cinema building, which had screenings from 1913 to 1964 spanning silent movies, black and white films, and the shift to colour before reopening as a leisure and entertainment complex, may be about to have a very different sequel — as a 171-bedroomed four-star hotel.

Planners are this week to be asked to consider plans for the €15m new-build hotel at the former Coliseum cinema in Cork City.
