As part of our Spring Issue’s Meet in Europe feature, our Editor checked into the five-star Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, a modern Venetian masterpiece. It offers luxury for both leisure and business travellers, and has been awarded the covered title of Europe’s Leading Conference Hotel every year since 2013…
Hilton Molino Stucky Venice has been reimagined from a former flour mill factory on the peaceful island of Giudecca, overlooking Isola di San Marco, the main island of Venice. The views from this water-front property are incredible.
We travelled to Venice by train, the best way to arrive as you’ll are fronted by the incredible views of picture-perfect Venice as soon as you step out of the station. The best way to travel from the station is on a classic taxi boat which will take you through the canals, right up to the entrance of the hotel.
Guest rooms and suites with fabulous views
The largest hotel in Venice, this listed building has been beautifully restored from a flour mill factory. Further refurbishments have recently been completed, including sophisticated deluxe rooms and spacious elegant suites – many boasting incredible views of picture-perfect Venice.
We stayed at a Superior Room with breathtaking canal views – best enjoyed from the large open window. The 30 sqm room, and the gorgeous marble bathroom, are in perfect keeping with the palatial feel of the hotel.
The new Presidential Suite at Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is the highest and largest suite in town with private access to the hotel’s rooftop. You’ll find a good size pool and the Skyline Bar on the roof. You can also stay at one of the 47 Orient Express Venezia’s room and suites for an extra opulent experience.
Eating and drinking at Hilton Molino Stucky Venice
Hilton Molino Stucky Venice boasts the highest bar in Venice. It’s the place to lunch or sip cocktails whilst lounging by the rooftop pool, taking in the incredible panoramic views of the city. It’s equally inviting in the evening for atmospheric sights of the city.
Food it taken seriously here, with three restaurants to choose from. For traditional Venetian flavours, from the famous Cicchetti to the freshest fish, seafood, pasta and risotto, you’ll need to dine in the informal Bacaromi, favoured by the locals too.
For fine-dining and private dinners, the Aromi offers exquisite dishes, prepared with the highest-quality ingredients and accompanied by prestigious wines. You are in for a unique culinary journey set in an elegant atmosphere. During the summer season, the restaurant’s large canal-side terrace is a place to be and take in the magic of Venetian evenings.
The Rialto Bar and Restaurant is the perfect meeting place to indulge in cocktails, coffee, and snacks, or to have a relaxing lunch or dinner. It serves delicious Italian and international dishes which you can also enjoy on the Rialto Garden by the canal during the warmer months.
Europe’s and Italy’s Leading Conference Hotel every year since 2013
I was blown away by the large conference centre, designed to fit with the palatial style of the hotel. The venue’s event team are experts in managing large events, carbon-neutral meetings, memorable celebrations, and also offers fantastic team-building and cultural activities.
