Party with the Greats! Sing and dance your weekend away with live tribute acts!
If you love being beside the seaside and enjoy great live entertainment, then this late season weekend could be for you! We stay at the popular and centrally located Riviera Hotel, well-known for its incredible live entertainment and bingo. The nightly entertainment will have featured performances from the best tributes found on the English Riviera.
So relax with friends or your loved ones at the bar, enjoy great homestyle meals and entertainment. If you're feeling a little more independently minded, then our hotel is well located in the heart of Torquay, which makes this lovely resort really easy to explore on foot.
The iconic palm trees could fool you into thinking you were in the Mediterranean. The coast of Torquay is scattered with beautiful piers and russet-red cliffs. Enjoy a stroll along the promenade and take in the relaxed atmosphere. Make time to walk up the steps of Royal Terrace Gardens. Remember to take in the amazing sea views across the bay at night with the lights reflecting onto the sea.
