"Classic Hotel in a Historic Building."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The Riviera Hotel South Beach is located moments away from famous Collins Avenue, a few blocks away from shopping stores, the beach and many restaurants. The hotel consists of three buildings that offer standard rooms, mid standard rooms and suites. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner from salads to sandwiches and of course, delicious Cuban food! The Reception desk staff is attentive, professional and very friendly. The first building adjacent to Collins Avenue has modern rooms with very hip furniture. The rooftop pool adds charm to this property with spectacular view of this city. Please keep in mind, the hotel is blocks away from the Miami Convention center as well. All of the South Beach group hotel properties have Tempur Pedic mattresses for maximum comfort. The Riviera building across offers room suites fully equipped with a kitchen and living room. The classic wall colors and the intimate pool view make this suite a sophisticated place to be. Please don’t forget, amenities for the Riviera include free Wi Fi, round trip airport shuttle to and from the Airport and complimentary cocktail hour from 7 to 8 pm. If you’re in South Beach, this is the place to be!
