Irvine-based Greens Development will build an eight-story, 226-room hotel in downtown Riverside, incorporating the former downtown fire station. The Riverside City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday, Nov. 16, to approve the project. It will be built on Mission Inn Avenue near the 91 Freeway with a scenic rooftop view deck.

Erin Edwards, Riverside City Councilmember and a resident of the Downtown Riverside area appreciated the lively entrance the hotel will create for anyone entering downtown.

Hotel’s Proximity to Century-old First Congregational Church

A controversy surrounding this hotel project was its proximity to a century-old First Congregational Church. Members of the church have reservations that the hotel’s large structure would block historic church views. Still, the project was approved with a vote count of 5-2.

Two council members, Clarissa Cervantes and Chuck Conder voted against the hotel building and asked for a full environmental review.

Tourism and Riverside

There’s potential for Riverside to grow its tourism revenue as it offers many historical sites for domestic and foreign tourists. Key tourist attractions include:

  • The Riverside Art Museum
  • Castle Park
  • UCR Arts
  • Fairmount Park
  • March Field Air Museum

By bringing the Residence Inn Marriott hotel to the area, the city council hopes to increase tourists visiting the city, the county seat of Riverside County.
