Unique to Riviera Resort are the Tower Studios, a space for two people that has a private balcony, sofa, bathroom, television, and a queen-sized bed that can be pulled down when time to sleep.

Artwork inspired by Disney characters as well as photos from Walt Disney's travels through Europe line the walls inside the resort.
