Disney's Riviera Resort Deluxe Studio Photos (Preferred View)

Disney’s Riviera Resort’s deluxe studio is comparable to an average room in a hotel. However, the Riviera is not your average hotel. It’s a Disney Vacation Club Resort comprising rooms ranging from studios to three-bedroom grand villas.

We stayed in a deluxe studio during our first visit to Disney’s Riviera Resort. Below, we’ll discuss the room’s amenities and details of our experiences, and I’ll share photos of our preferred view room.

A deluxe studio sleeps up to five guests. It has two queen-size pull-down beds, a single pull-down bed, a kitchenette, a balcony, and a split bathroom. Most will appreciate the in-room upgrades that elevate the look and feel of the deluxe studio. This floor plan has become a favorite among regular guests.

When you first enter the room, you’ll find a foyer with wood flooring leading into the room.

Each room comes with two queen beds. One is a Murphy-style bed that pulls down from the wall, revealing an extra place to sleep. This queen-size pull down bed converts to a sofa when it’s not in use, allowing for extra space in the room. One advantage of this bed style over a sofa sleeper is that you don’t have to deal with large sofa cushions taking up extra space in the room while the bed is in use.

But we can all agree that the real benefit here is that a regular mattress is much better than one built into a sofa. These beds are comparable to a regular queen-size bed, and we haven’t had any issues sleeping on them.

A single trundle bed is built into the wall underneath the flat-screen television.

The single pull-down bed retracts into the wall.

The artwork inside the trundle features Pascal from Tangled. Trundle beds are ideal for guests around the ages of 12 and under. For those traveling with multiple children, it’s nice to have the option to accommodate up to five guests in one room.

Another attribute of the space is the large split guest bath in the deluxe studio. The bathroom features Carrara marble with dark veins contrasting nicely with the brushed brass fixtures. Baths come with a makeup mirror, a hairdryer, and toiletries like soap, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, and location,

The split bathroom is one of the most popular design aspects of the unit. A pocket door allows the space to be divided. Each area of the bath has an entrance from the hallway. One side has a tub with a shower combination and a vanity. The water closet with a toilet and a walk-in shower is opposite. Guests can use these spaces simultaneously.

The walk-in shower has a built-in bench.

Riviera’s deluxe studio has a kitchenette providing space to prepare small meals or reheat leftovers. The space has a microwave, toaster, mini-fridge, and coffee maker.

Paper towels, dish soap, coffee, and other accompaniments are available in the room.

The sink has a detachable faucet that comes in handy for rinsing items.

The toaster oven was stored away in an upper cabinet.

Below the sink, there’s a place to store trash and recycle. The room’s mini-fridge is larger than the beverage coolers in standard hotel rooms.

Toward the front of the room, a decent-sized foyer welcomes you home. You’ll find a double-door closet with an extra place to store your luggage.

Other amenities were available inside the closet, like a vacuum cleaner, a full-size ironing board, and the in-room safe.

The closet has plenty of storage space for luggage and other items.

Last but not least, the deluxe studios at Disney’s Riviera Resort have a private balcony. Balconies are a great place to relax and enjoy the views when the weather is pleasant.

Our studio had a preferred resort view, which looked out toward Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. A portion of the resort’s feature pool area was immediately underneath our room. A standard view room offers a view of the parking lot.

Overall, the deluxe studio at Disney’s Riviera Resort provides an exceptional layout while maintaining a high-end feel. This room type is perfect for those needing an extra bed or a few convenient amenities not offered in standard hotel rooms.

We love Disney’s Riviera for its proximity to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios via the Disney Skyliner. We have stayed at or toured every room at Disney’s Riviera. You might enjoy these other rooms:
