RIVIERA ON VAAL
A Timeless Legacy
Affectionately known as the Grand Dame of the Vaal, Riviera on Vaal is a symbol of enduring legacy and charm. In the early 1930s, the site was a humble kiosk serving river-goers enjoying swims, boat rides, and picnics along the banks. American filmmaker, entrepreneur, and visionary Isadore William Schlesinger fell in love with the area and set out to create something truly special. In 1936, he opened the doors to the magnificent hotel we cherish today.
Since the beginning, Riviera on Vaal was the ultimate spot for lunches, dinner and memorable events, where locals gathered to enjoy entertainment and be seen. Tragically, in early 1975, devastating floods ravaged the area, submerging much of the hotel grounds and nearby golf course. Remarkably, the hotel survived this natural disaster, standing as a testament to its resilience and timeless allure.
For generations, the Riviera on Vaal Hotel created cherished memories for the people of the Vaal Triangle. A true gem nestled in the heart of Gauteng, this iconic resort has long been a favourite destination for both locals and visitors alike.
The breath-taking beauty, rich history, and exceptional facilities continue to make Riviera on Vaal Hotel & Country Club a hidden treasure. Offering stunning views, tranquillity, and indulgence. It remains the Grand Dame of the Vaal – a place where heritage meets luxury for every guest who visits.
