The Pavilion at Hotel Rivel, open-air and covered
THE PAVILION · HOTEL RIVEL

One covered space.
Built to perform,
designed to gather.

25+ feet of clear ceiling, panoramic rainforest views and an open floor that resets around your program — training, yoga, leadership sessions, ceremonies, banquets and dance, all under one roof.

THE PAVILION

One open-air structure, engineered for whatever your group needs it to become.

Raised above the valley floor with 25+ feet of clear ceiling height, the Pavilion is a single uninterrupted volume — no columns to work around, no walls to divide the group. It stays dry through the rain season and open to the mountain air on clear days.

YOGA & MOVEMENT

A calm, open-air room for practice.

Mats face out toward the mountain, the sound system stays low, and the facilitator has room to move through the group — a setting built for stillness as much as for movement.

CORPORATE, WEDDING & EVENTS

From boardroom to ballroom, without leaving the estate.
