Location

The Riviera Lodge Hotel boasts a great location for visitors who want to explore Torquay by foot. This quiet location is just a short walk from all the amenities you want to experience, including the seafront and marina, shops, restaurants and old town. Visitors appreciate the easy access to Abbey Park gardens, the town center and the beach- all of which can be explored within 10 to 15 minutes on foot. Although there is a steep hill involved, the great location at the top of the hill provides easy access to all the activities. The hotel's owner provides an excellent service by offering a mini map referencing eateries, old town and other sightseeing spots that visitors may not easily know. Despite the hill, the location is still very convenient and perfect for exploring all that Torquay has to offer.
