Hotel Riviera, with its echoes of the South of France and prime position on the seafront, is the choice for the discerning in search of relaxation and quieter pleasures. Sidmouth has retained its exclusivity and elegance since Regency times, when it became a fashionable watering place and attracted ’the people of quality’. Most prominent among these visitors were the Duke and Duchess of Kent with their infant daughter Victoria, later to become Queen. Handsome 18th and 19th century architecture abounds in Sidmouth and the Hotel Riviera is just such an example, with its Regency façade and which once formed a terrace of three-storey houses. The interior is an alluring blend of old-fashioned service and present-day comfort. With its focus on relaxation, the hotel has a long tradition of hospitality, making it the perfect venue for memorable family holidays, long weekends, unwinding breaks and the all-embracing spirit of the Festive Season.
