beautiful shore


Explanation:
The name, translated, means beautiful shore. However, as it is a proper noun, the name should not be translated, and remain as is.
Good luck!

beauriful water-side location


Explanation:
Rivage can mean shore, strand, beach lake-side or water's edge.
The name would normally be left untranslated but for marketing purposes the hotel's location could be described by using one of the above descriptions.
