We booked a Premium Sea-View Room at the Riviera four months ago. On the day of our arrival they rang to confirm our booking and ask if we would like to order their car to pick us up from the airport. Given that we weren't arriving until 10pm, we booked the car and it was at the airport waiting for... More

Must stress from the outset. Not hotel guests - day visitors but came here on good recommendation. They took our $50 at 330pm so that we could lie on their grotty sun loungers and be ignored by their staff for a couple of hours, -apparently it's having a refurb before the summer season.. I'd recommend that they stay closed until... More

you can't get a better location on the corniche than this hotel. an easy place to start a casual walk along the waterfront. the shopping street of hamra is an accessable distance away if you feel like taking to the winding streets near the american university. and around to the west, up the hill towards pigeon rock is another short...

My wife and I were in Beirut two weeks on business. Our time at the Riviera was a very good experience, although we didn't use the seaside facilities because of unseasonable winter weather. First, all the staff, from the front desk to the waiters were very cordial and attentive. Secondly, we had a partial ocean view from a corner room... More

This hotel looked nothing like the pictures or descriptions on their web site, everything was in need of fixing up. The breakfast was okay but not worth $25 a person. The pool area was mostly closed and none of the hot tubs were in use. The staff was nice and the bed was excellent but other than that I would... More

Sea wall "Corniche" location with walking distance to the shopping Mecca of Hamra street, close to every thing in Beirut. The pool choices are the best: family pool, quiet pool with access to meditteranean and water sports and the popular party pool. Breakfast was very adequate and picturesque (what's prettier than breakfast by the sea) staff is amazingly nice (specially... More

I came with my husband and we had booked a room with sea sideview what was very misleading, as it meant a room on the first floor on the side of the hotel with sun all the day and a view of a neighboring empty area with rubbish and a very minimal view of the sea. It was noisy from... More

Great location right on the sea front. Our rooms overlooked the internal courtyard rather than out to sea, but it was still nice to have a balcony. Beds were really comfy and didn't experience any noise in the hotel itself. Over the road (accessed by a tunnel under the road) is the beach club (though it's more a series of... More
