Nestled in a charming, historic flour mill on Giudecca Island, this luxe hotel boasts plush rooms, a rooftop pool, and top-notch dining—all just a ferry ride from Venice's sights.
"Housed in a former flour mill on Giudecca island, the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is an ideal spot to escape the crowds, owing to its position across the lagoon that laps at the southern edge of the main island. With toile de jouy décor, beamed ceilings, and wooden floors, the tower suites feel both rustic yet modern, arched windows flooding the space with shimmering light reflected off green waters. Families will appreciate the mini robes, small Frette slippers, stools in the bathroom and toys on the beds, along with a kids’ club that runs twice a day until 7 p.m., giving adults a chance to enjoy a fresh Bellini or two at the rooftop Skyline bar—the highest in the city—where from May a turquoise pool is open to guests. The highlight here is Aromi, recently reopened under the command of chef Ivan Fargnoli who spent almost 20 years in China, bringing back a vivid set of flavors that infuse his Mediterranean menu. Try the double-boiled duck consommé topped with softly spun floss, ribbons of cuttlefish tagliatelle, and the wagyu ribeye that gleams pink and sparkles with salt. Finish with dark chocolates speckled with Szechuan pepper. —Monisha Rajesh" - Sarah James, Anne Hanley
"Set on Venice's Giudecca Island, this 379-room hotel has come a long way since its days as a flour mill: With the second largest spa in the city, plus a rooftop pool and seven restaurants and bars, there's little about it that's underwhelming. After a full day of sightseeing (or an especially long flight), you'll want to head to the Eforea Spa, where you can take in an Enhancement, Escape, or Essential treatment (designed by the British brand ELEMIS) by one of the on-staff beauty therapists. Just don't fall asleep: You'll want to hit the sauna, steam bath, and Jacuzzi afterwards."
"Hilton Molino Stucky on Giudecca Island is a zippy five-minute boat ride (free for guests) away from bustling Piazza San Marco, and ideally located for those craving a tad more tranquility without missing out on any of those sweeping Venetian vistas. Once a working flourmill, this brick, industrial-era fortress has been reimagined as a luxury hotel with all of the modern bells and whistles. Take a break from museum hopping with a day spent surveying the city below from the city’s only rooftop pool (followed by quality time spent in the spa). Of course, with several dining options just steps from your room, you could happily spend most of your time right here. If mixing business with pleasure, this hotel—with Executive Suites, a ballroom for events, several conference rooms, and a business center—makes for a superbly scenic day at the office."
