Map & location


Riva, Lake Garda, Italy

Lido Palace enjoys a privileged lakeside position in Riva, on the dramatic northern shore of Lake Garda. Backed by steep, forested mountains and fronted by manicured gardens, the hotel feels wonderfully secluded, yet you’re an easy stroll from the historic old town, harbour and café-lined piazzas.

This part of the lake is a paradise for outdoor lovers, with walking paths threading into the hills, boat trips across the water and watersports hubs close by. After a day exploring, the palace’s calm, contemporary interiors and tranquil spa make a soothing contrast to Riva’s lively waterfront.

FAQs
Is Lido Palace right for families or mainly for adults?
Lido Palace welcomes both adults and children, and some room categories can sleep up to three guests, making them suitable for small families. There is a children’s menu in the restaurant and baby-changing facilities near the pool. However, there is no dedicated kids’ club or aqua park, and the overall ambience is peaceful and refined, so it tends to appeal most to couples, solo travellers and families who value a tranquil, grown-up atmosphere.
How close is Lido Palace to the lake and Riva Old Town?
The hotel enjoys a lakeside setting, with the nearest pebble beach only about 200 metres away. You can walk to Riva’s charming Old Town and harbour in roughly 10 minutes (around 550 metres), where you’ll find cafés, gelaterias and historic landmarks. Local shops, bars and restaurants start from about 210 metres from the hotel.
What board basis can I book at Lido Palace?
Stays at Lido Palace are typically on a Bed and Breakfast basis, giving you a generous breakfast in the main restaurant each morning. Lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks are then paid for locally.
