Mid-century accommodations

The Riviera Hotel opened in 1959 and was an instant hit, quickly attracting Hollywood’s elite and becoming the place to see and be seen during the swinging 1960s. The likes of Elvis Presley, Desi Arnaz and Sonny & Cher all stayed or performed at The Riviera.

After several years of decline, however, the iconic hotel was renovated and restored to its former glory in 2008, contributing to the mid-century resurgence we see in Palm Springs today.

The hotel changed hands and had a brief stint as the Margaritaville Resort between 2020-2024, but an all new Riviera Hotel is back with a nod to its  past featuring retro lounges and restaurants, plus their large amoeba-shaped pool area is still second to none! A real treat for hipster modernists who want to live it up in style.

Located at the edge of North Palm Springs next to the Racquet Club Estates neighborhood.
