Hotel Marina Riviera

Perched along Big Bear Lake, Hotel Marina Riviera is a revived 1968 mid-century icon reimagined as a design-forward alpine retreat where nostalgia meets modern ease. Set against the San Bernardino Mountains, the 42-room boutique property channels the warmth of a classic Viking lodge through natural textures, wood-accented interiors, and expansive lake views. Under Casetta Hotels, the restored landmark introduces a new vision of lakeside living, anchored in wellness, community, and a strong sense of place. Guests move seamlessly between a year-round heated pool, cold plunge, barrel sauna, and sunset-facing fire pits that frame the lake, creating a ritual-driven rhythm from day to night. The hotel is also home to De La Nonna, the town’s only true waterfront dining destination, where wood-fired cuisine and natural wines bring a lively, communal energy to the shoreline. Blending heritage, design, and lakeside ritual, the hotel redefines Big Bear as a year-round modern mountain escape.
