Riviera, Hotel and water park in Kazan, Russia
Riviera is a hotel and entertainment complex with a water park on the bank of the Kazanka River in Kazan, at the intersection of Fatykh Amirkhan Avenue and Sibgat Hakim Street. The hotel has 210 rooms, from comfort class to presidential apartments, and the water park's equipment was designed and built by the British company WhiteWater Leisure. The complex includes restaurants, bars, cafes, a summer open beach and a fitness hall.
The Riviera entertainment complex opened on 20 October 2006; the hotel tower later became the city's tallest building until the Lazurnye Nebesa residential high-rise was completed. The 65-metre Ferris wheel "Vokrug Sveta" began operating on 3 November 2016 and was then Russia's second-tallest. The entertainment complex was demolished in December 2021 to make way for a multifunctional centre.
The complex stands at the crossing of Fatykh Amirkhan Avenue and Sibgat Hakim Street on the bank of the Kazanka, beside the Tatneft Arena ice hall and the Millennium Bridge. Its name, Kazan Riviera, is also given in Tatar as Kazan Riviera. The water park was designed and built by the British firm WhiteWater Leisure.
The complex is well-positioned near central Kazan and easy to access from the city. Hotel guests enjoy direct entry to the water park facilities without additional charges.
The water park is covered by a glass dome that maintains warm water and air temperatures year-round. This allows guests to enjoy water activities even during cold or snowy periods outside.
