Share to linkedinSteven Diaz Photo LLCHotels on Europe’s Riviera tend to have a distinct style. Their walls are often cream-colored and dotted with balconies which have ornate iron railings. Brightly-colored canopies hang over them and a domed roof usually sits on the top of the building. It isn’t the kind of structure you would expect to find in Orlando. Until now.
A little further down the coast is Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a tiny town sandwiched between France and Monaco. One of its most historic hotels is the Royal-Riviera and it’s easy to see the similarity between its logo and the two inter-locking letter Rs that represent the Riviera Resort. They are seen everywhere from the railings around Disney’s hotel to its cupola where a huge version of the logo is lit up at night.
Renard is a highly skilled designer with a 20-year career covering stints at themed hotel specialists WATG and BBGM, an internationally renowned architecture and interior design firm. In 2007 she became a senior interior designer at Imagineering, the division of Disney which dreams up its theme parks and hotels. It takes much more than the wave of a wand to develop them.
He returned to France after setting up his eponymous company and Renard says that on a trip with his wife Lillian in 1935, Walt “sent back over 300 book titles to our studios for inspiration. Everything from stories, novels, fables and illustrations.” “We looked at the different works, movements and the styles that came out of the Riviera region and specifically brought them into our art collection at the resort,” says Renard. “So we have pieces that are inspired by Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism and the subjects that the different artists were studying at the time that they were in residence at hotels on the Riviera or when were visiting. Then we brought in our Disney characters and icons to make an eclectic collection.
This means that in addition to allowing overnight stays in its 300 rooms, guests can buy a stake in the property’s vacation homes. These guests tend to stay for longer periods than ones in typical hotels and it appears that every inch of the Riviera Resort’s rooms has been designed with that in mind. It doesn’t take long to see.
In addition to a chic family pool surrounded by neatly-arranged loungers, there’s a water play area with a 30 feet waterslide. It snakes around the outside of a stone tower resembling the lookout posts which were once common along the coast of Italy.
