Spaces to Gather

The best meetings don't always happen around a conference table. Whether you're planning a strategy session, executive retreat, welcome reception, creative workshop, or intimate celebration, Riviera Beach House offers thoughtfully designed spaces that feel less like meeting rooms and more like places where people naturally come together. Each space has its own personality, allowing you to choose the setting that best fits your gathering.

From focused indoor meetings to open-air gatherings under the California sun, our flexible venues make it easy to bring people together.

The Living Room

The heart of Riviera Beach House, The Living Room offers a welcoming space where conversations flow as easily as the coffee. Ideal for informal meetings, casual interviews, client meetups, or small networking gatherings, this relaxed setting blends comfortable seating with the creative energy of the Funk Zone.

As a public space, The Living Room is best suited for flexible, drop-in gatherings that feel more like a conversation than a conference: Coffee meetings, networking, informal interviews, client conversations

The Gallery

Surrounded by rotating contemporary exhibitions in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, The Gallery offers a distinctive setting for intimate gatherings that inspire conversation and creativity.

Perfect for board meetings, creative workshops, executive retreats, private receptions, or small celebrations, this light-filled second-floor space provides an atmosphere unlike a traditional meeting room, where art, design, and ideas come together.

Because The Gallery is located on the guestroom level, it is best suited for smaller gatherings that respect the comfort and privacy of hotel guests.
