Disney’s Riviera Resort

Disney’s Riviera Resort draws its character from the Mediterranean, with pale stucco walls, arched windows, ornamental ironwork, stone terraces, and gardens inspired by the European coast. The lobby design feels more refined than overtly themed, blending elegant finishes with artwork and details drawn from Walt Disney’s travels through France and Italy.

The small lobby is joined by Le Petit Café and Voyageurs’ Lounge, which displays memorabilia from Walt Disney’s European travels. At the top of the resort, Topolino’s Terrace offers rooftop dining and expansive views across Walt Disney World. 

The walk to the Disney Skyliner station passes beneath two large mosaic murals made from more than one million hand-cut tiles. One shows Peter Pan flying above nighttime London, while the other recreates Rapunzel’s floating lantern scene from Tangled. From there, the Skyliner connects the resort with EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Tour Disney's Riviera Resort at the Glass Slipper Concierge YouTube channel. 

Accommodations

Riviera Resort’s accommodations range from compact Tower Studios for two to expansive Three-Bedroom Grand Villas. Throughout the resort, soft blues, warm cream, melon, natural wood, and subtle Disney artwork carry the Mediterranean influence into the villas.

Villas

Villas here are one of Disney’s most elegant and comfortable. Accommodations range from super cozy Tower Studios sleeping two in a Murphy bed with 229 square feet to more spacious Deluxe Studios as well a 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom villas.

Tower Studios

These 255-square-foot Tower Studios are designed for two guests. With only 255 square feet (smaller even than a room at a Value Resort), you’ll find a microwave, small refrigerator, a built-in desk with drawers, and a cleverly hidden pull-down queen-size bed that tucks away during the day for a lounging space. But for such a small space, the bathroom is surprisingly fairly spacious with an oversized shower and large single-sink vanity.

Deluxe Studios

At approximately 423 square feet, Deluxe Studios accommodate up to five guests with a queen-size bed, a pull-down queen-size bed, and a single pull-down bunk-size bed tucked beneath the television. When the beds are raised, the room returns to a comfortable sitting area with the sofa and open floor space available during the day. Soft blues, warm neutrals, and wood finishes continue Riviera’s Mediterranean-inspired décor, with Disney artwork adding character. A kitchenette provides a microwave, beverage cooler, coffeemaker, toaster, and sink, and every Deluxe Studio has a private balcony or patio.

One-Bedroom Villas

The approximately 813-square-foot One-Bedroom Villas accommodate up to five guests. The primary bedroom has a king bed with a blue upholstered headboard, while the living room includes a queen-size pull-down bed concealed above the sofa and a single pull-down bed beneath the television. When the queen bed is lowered, a Peter Pan-inspired mural is revealed above it.

The open kitchen has quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a full-size refrigerator, and an island with bench-style seating. Wood flooring, a steel-blue sofa, melon-colored chairs, and a blue-and-cream area rug bring color into the living area. Both the bedroom and living room open to the balcony or patio.

The bathroom is divided into two sections, each with its own sink. One side has a freestanding bubble-jet tub and lighted makeup mirror, while the other has an oversized shower. White and gray marble, generous lighting, and the split layout give two people room to get ready at the same time. A stacked washer and dryer are located near the entrance.

Two-Bedroom Villas

The 1,245-square-foot Two-Bedroom Villas accommodate up to nine guests, with a king bed in the primary bedroom, two queen beds in the second bedroom, and queen- and single-size pull-down beds in the living room.

The open kitchen, dining area, and living room follow the same layout and color palette as the One-Bedroom Villas, with wood flooring, soft blues, warm cream, and touches of melon. A full kitchen and washer and dryer make these villas particularly comfortable for longer stays. Each bedroom has access to its own bathroom, giving both sides of the villa more privacy. A balcony or patio extends the living area outdoors.

Three-Bedroom Grand Villas

Riviera Resort’s most impressive accommodations, Three-Bedroom Grand Villas offer 2,530-square-feet of luxury and accommodate up to twelve guests. The primary bedroom has a king bed and a private balcony, while each of the two additional bedrooms has two queen beds. One guest bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and the other has a bathroom across the hall.

The living room has hardwood flooring, a large cream sectional sleeper sofa, powder-blue armchairs, and a blue-and-cream area rug. An open kitchen centers on a large island with seating for four, while the adjoining formal dining room seats ten. A wide balcony runs the length of the living room. In the primary bathroom, white and gray marble surrounds two sinks, an oversized shower, a whirlpool tub, and a separate toilet area. A full-size washer and dryer add convenience for an extended stay. View Disney’s Riviera Resort’s 3-bedroom Grand Villa on Glass Slipper Concierge’s YouTube channel.

Plan Your Luxury Walt Disney World Vacation

A stay at Disney’s Riviera Resort can feel very different depending on the accommodation you choose. A Tower Studio works well for two guests who plan to spend most of their time exploring, while the larger villas offer full kitchens, private bedrooms, balconies, and room for families to settle in comfortably. A Glass Slipper Concierge advisor can help you select the villa, view, and location that will make Riviera feel right for your vacation.
