"The staff was absolutely wonderful with the exception of the General Manager who was a bit crazy. I have never written that in a review, but I don’t know how else to describe her. Otherwise the hotel was fine. Not near the downtown at all, so that was a challenge, and the breakfast was all cold, but besides that, the hotel had AC (a plus) and was clean. More of a 3 star than a 4 star by US ratings."

Hotel Admiral

Hotel Admiral

10/10 Excellent
"The staff at this hotel were excellent. Having two pools was a bonus as you could use the indoor pool when the outdoor pool was busy. The absence of a bar was a slight disappointment and the rooms were small even by European norms. Dated TVs meant no connectivity of maps.... but who goes on holiday to watch TV? Breakfast was very good too. The location (approx. 200m from Paradiso train station) made things very easy Tip: the number 2 bus will take you from the hotel (stop next to the supermarket) up the hill to the station, else it is a steep trek with luggage. The hotel is also alongside the funicular for Monte San Salvatore Watching the sunset from 900m+ is awesome (and you can buy a beer up there too!) And as with nearly every other hotel in the area, you get a Ticino Ticket that gives you free public transport (except for the ferries) in the Ticino region. We had such a great time we stayed an extra night. Our thanks to the staff at Hotel Admiral."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Rivera?
The best area to stay in Rivera is generally around the Monte Tamaro cable car station, as this is where most of the activities and convenient amenities are located.

This area is the main gateway to the Monte Tamaro adventure park and offers easy access to its attractions. You'll find a few hotels and restaurants directly in this vicinity, making it a practical base for exploring the mountain. The cable car station itself is a clear landmark, and the surrounding area is more developed than other parts of Rivera.

Families will find this area particularly convenient. With the cable car leading directly to various activities like the adventure park, a toboggan run, and hiking trails, it minimises travel time and maximises fun for children of all ages. Staying close means less travelling and more time enjoying the facilities.

For couples looking for an active escape, the area around Monte Tamaro is also ideal. Beyond the adventure park, there are numerous hiking and mountain biking trails offering stunning views of the Ticino landscape.
When is the best time to go to Rivera?
The best time to visit Rivera is between May and September when the weather is warm and pleasant, ideal for outdoor activities.

May and June offer comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds, superb for hiking and exploring the local scenery before the peak summer season. The countryside is lush and green during these months, making for picturesque walks and stunning views from Monte Tamaro.

July and August are the warmest months, making them ideal for those who enjoy swimming and sunbathing at nearby lake beaches. This period is also excellent for families, as the Adventure Park on Monte Tamaro and the Splash e Spa Tamaro water park are in full swing, offering plenty of entertainment for all ages.

September brings slightly cooler temperatures but still lovely weather for outdoor pursuits, with the added bonus of autumn colours beginning to appear.
