About Us

The Riviera Hotel boasts one of the most scenic positions of any hotel on the south coast. Set on a cliff top overlooking the waters and beach at Bowleaze Cove, the chalet style hotel has magnificent views across the bay to Weymouth and Portland Harbour beyond. Our location guarantees to impress, setting the scene for a memorable and happy stay in one of Weymouth's best known hotels.

Designed in post art-deco style, our main building is Grade II listed and offers comfortable accommodation in unique style. The hotel itself is surrounded by green lawns and tranquil countryside and is only a minute away from the sand and shingle beach at Bowleaze Cove. The centre of Weymouth is only a short drive away, easily reached by car or the regular open-top bus (closed top in winter) that stops a short distance away from our own front door!

The The Riviera Hotel is not only situated in one of the most perfect spots in Dorset, it also offers some of the best facilities including: -
Indoor Leisure Centre with sauna, indoor swimming pool with integrated massage jets and underwater lighting and mini-gym, Outdoor heated pool (May-September), Short Mat bowls, Crazy golf and many sports and pastimes, large ballroom and late bar.

Our staff are on hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help with your every need. Our professional entertainment team perform shows and provide quizzes and games for your full time enjoyment.

With 115 rooms all en-suite and lots more to offer than your standard seaside hotel, The Riviera Hotel awaits the pleasure of your company.
