Treat yourself this season with new Wellness Happy Hour offers at the Spa. The City Life Facial, Grounding Massage and Social Sauna are now available at a special rate for a mid-week escape. After your treatment, visit the Spa lobby for a complimentary glass of wine.

From a communal table filled with citrus centrepieces and Italian wines, guests can enjoy family style platters full of fresh salads, summer vegetables, grilled seafood and steaks and oven-fired pizzas. As Riva’s signature offering for the summer season, this experience includes culinary delights, house-made Limoncello, local draft beers, Italian wine and valet parking.

Returning for a second year, the popular lululemon-led fitness classes – ranging from yoga and Pilates to dance and strength training – provide opportunities to sweat and sightsee on a rooftop plaza surrounded by city and sky. Hotel guests and residents may join classes on a complimentary basis, and community members are invited to purchase tickets for USD 30. Call to reserve at +1 (612) 895-5707.

Stay cool lounging in a poolside daybed. Here, you’ll be met with a bottle of sparkling wine or sparkling tea, seasonal fruit platter, bottled water and passed amenities. Available during pool hours, reservations may be made on Tock.

In addition to the new food and beverage options at Riva Terrace, Hotel guests and residents have access to additional menu items made fresh just beyond the pool. Minnesota’s rising culinary experts prepare dishes showcasing their culture and craftsmanship. Walkup kitchens will be open Fridays and Saturdays, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

A rooftop playground for those young and young at heart, this outdoor space near the pool includes yard games like cornhole, giant Connect 4 and giant Jenga. It is also home to the Hotel’s popular gelato cart. The Family Plaza will be open Fridays and Saturdays during pool hours.

Local curator Mich Berthiaume returns to the rooftop with shoppers’ favourite artists, makers and creators. The Summer Markets will take over Riva Plaza three times throughout the summer, during Pride Weekend (June 29, 2024), the Minneapolis Aquatennial (July 27, 2024) and the Minnesota State Fair (August 29, 2024).
