Opened in 1937, the hotel has been Grade II listed since January 1997. In their survey of the building, English Heritage commented that it "epitomises the austere approach of the modernists in the immediate pre-war era, and suggests the designer's acquaintance with contemporary work in Rome and elsewhere".[1] HistoryThe Riviera Hotel was built in 1936–1937 for a cost of around £40,000. It was designed in a modernist, Spanish-style by L. Stewart Smith and constructed by Truscon Ltd.[1] Overlooking Weymouth Bay, the hotel was sited at Bowleaze Cove, which until that time had seen little development. As car ownership increased during the 20th century, the cove was transformed into a holiday destination. In addition to the hotel, the Waterside Caravan Camp was established nearby in the 1950s, followed by other sites offering similar accommodation in the vicinity.[2][3] In 1958, the hotel was taken over by Fred Pontin and remained under his holiday camp chain Pontins until 2000.[3] Later in 2009, the hotel was sold for £3.5 million to Saudi Arabian investors.[4] It then underwent a £4 million refit in 2011 and reopened in 2012.[5] A new refurbishment project commenced in 2017.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1135188 |title=RIVIERA HOTEL, Weymouth and Portland – 1135188 |publisher=Historic England |date= |accessdate=2018-09-16}} 2. ^https://content.historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/weymouths-seaside-heritage/weymouths-seaside-heritage.pdf/ 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=NmPGCQAAQBAJ&pg=PT174&dq=riviera+hotel+weymouth&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiTvom6i8DdAhUJOsAKHSQvAbsQ6AEIJzAA#v=onepage&q=riviera%20hotel%20weymouth&f=false |title=Weymouth Through Time – Debby Rose – Google Books |publisher=Books.google.co.uk |date=2008-12-15 |accessdate=2018-09-16}} 4. ^{{cite news |title=Riviera touched – landmark hotel is sold to Saudis |author=Laura Kitching |url=http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/4731411.Riviera_touched___landmark_hotel_is_sold_to_Saudis/ |newspaper=Dorset Echo |date=11 November 2009 |accessdate=4 February 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news |title=Ninety jobs set to boost Weymouth |author=Joanna Davis |url=http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/localnews/9470637.Ninety_jobs_set_to_boost_Weymouth/ |newspaper=Dorset Echo |date=13 January 2012 |accessdate=4 February 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|author= |url=https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/15914189.major-refurbishment-works-to-leisure-facilities-at-the-riviera-start/ |title=Major refurbishment works to leisure facilities at The Riviera start |publisher=Dorset Echo |date=2018-02-03 |accessdate=2018-09-16}} 4 : Buildings and structures in Weymouth, Dorset|Grade II listed buildings in Dorset|Hotels in Dorset|Grade II listed hotels |
