Hilton Molino Stucky Venice presents a dramatic combination of grandeur, elegance, and Venetian personality. Situated in a historic flour mill on Giudecca Island, the hotel blends industrial splendor and contemporary luxury. It is appealing to guests seeking both retreat from the noise and activity of the city center and easy access to Venice's cultural center by water.

Historical Transformation & Character

Originally constructed in the late 19th century as the Molino Stucky flour mill, the complex grew to be one of Europe's largest industrial mills. The complex eventually went out of use, before being converted back into a hotel by Hilton in 2007. The new version preserves the building's neo-Gothic industrial front, featuring dramatic volumes and brickwork detailing, but completely incorporates interiors of modern design and comfort. The juxtaposition of heritage and luxury gives Molino Stucky a unique identity among Venice's hospitality choice.

Location & Access

Hilton Molino Stucky is located on the Giudecca Island shores, facing the lagoon towards Venice's historical center. Although rather disconnected from the most packed areas of tourists, it enjoys excellent connectivity. The hotel operates its own exclusive boat shuttle between quay and St. Mark's or Zattere, offering instant connections to the centre of interest in the city. Local stops are served by traditional vaporetto (water bus) routes offering alternatives.
This provides visitors with the quieter base and waterbound connections to Venice gateways and landmarks.

Rooms, Views & Design

The hotel contains 379 bedrooms and suites, the majority of which have grand vistas out over the Giudecca Canal and Venice skyline. Room décor achieves a balance between contemporary comfort and unobtrusive nods to the industrial history of the building. High ceilings, clean lines, contemporary furniture, and expansive glazing provide light, airy interiors. Suites and "view" rooms often provide panoramic views of domes, rooftops, or boats chugging downstream. Guests appreciate the room proportions, smart design, and sense of being close to Venice yet enveloped in silence.

Amenities, Dining & Wellness

Molino Stucky has a wide variety of amenities in food, entertainment, and wellness. Roof-top pool and sun deck, backed by city views, sits on top of the hotel, while Skyline Rooftop Bar — Venice's highest point — serves signature cocktails with breathtaking views. Spa "eforea" has a Turkish bath, sauna, treatment rooms, and fitness center facilities.

Dining is rich in diversity: the hotel has multiple restaurants and bars. Seasonal food is served by Aromi, Bacaromi for Venetian-flavored taste, and Il Molino with an all-day buffet. Rooftop bar and terrace spaces provide other places for drinks and light bites. Conference and event spaces within the property offer space for meetings, banquets, and celebrations.

Guest Experience & Reputation

Guests continuously mention the hotel's stunning views, good service, and extensive amenities. Multiple praise the breakfast buffet for being bountiful and well laid out. The roof amenities and bar are commonly mentioned as highlights. Some say its size makes check-in hours chaotic and shuttle boat times must be checked, but the majority affirm that Molino Stucky offers an appealing combination of contrast and relaxation. Its status as one of Venice's more substantial boutique hotels allows it to offer infrastructure, luxury, and diversity rarely matched on the canals.
