The Riviera
 The Riviera has been a major landmark in downtown Lake Geneva for many years. This building was built in 1932 on a man made peninsula of 280 pilings driven into the bedrock. During the Swing Era the building played host to the Big Bands with the likes of Wayne King, the Dorsey's, Artie Shaw and Louie Armstrong. During the 1980's a citizen's committee recommended renovations to the historic building and an extensive restoration took place. Today the Riviera houses several shops and businesses in the lower level, and the upper level serves as a civic center and ballroom. The docks on the lake side of the building are known as the Riviera Docks and are the seasonal headquarters of Lake Geneva Cruise Line.
 During June 2004 Lake Geneva celebrated the dedication of the The Driehaus Family Fountain in Riviera Park. This fountain is a replica of the Angel of the Waters Fountain at Bethesda Terrace in New York's Central Park. The winged figure at the top of the fountain carries a lily, the symbol of purity, in one hand while her other hand extends to bless the water below. For New York this fountain symbolized the purifying of the city's water supply when the Croton Aqueduct opend in 1842. For Mr. Driehaus the fountain celebrates the history surrounding Lake Geneva including some of the majestic estates that were designed by the Olmsted Brothers, sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, the father of American landscape architecture, who designed New York's Central Park.
