Hotel Hilton Molino Stucky, Venice

Giudecca, 810, 30133 Venezia VE, Italy (show on map)

The Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is a fascinating landmark located on the western tip of Giudecca Island. Originally built between 1884 and 1895 as a massive flour mill and pasta factory, it was designed by German architect Ernst Wullekopf for the Swiss entrepreneur Giovanni Stucky. At its peak, this neo-Gothic industrial giant was one of the most advanced mills in Europe, employing 1,500 people before eventually closing in 1955.

Following decades of abandonment, the complex underwent an extensive restoration that preserved its striking red-brick facade and original architectural character. It reopened in 2007 as a hotel, seamlessly blending its industrial heritage with modern luxury. Today, it stands as one of Italy’s most iconic examples of repurposed industrial architecture, offering guests a unique stay within a piece of Venetian history.

The hotel is perhaps best known for its rooftop pool and the Skyline Rooftop Bar, which is widely considered to have the highest and most spectacular panoramic views of the Venetian skyline. For guests, the property feels like a peaceful retreat from the crowded streets of the main island, yet it remains highly accessible via a quick private shuttle boat ride to Piazza San Marco.

Because of its location on Giudecca, you are tucked away from the heaviest tourist traffic while still being close enough to explore major sights. Nearby attractions include the historic churches and local artisan workshops of the island itself, as well as easy water-bus access to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Doge’s Palace, and the iconic Rialto Bridge.

Expert reviews

CNN review:

“The 13-building complex (of which eight are open to guests) is full of original features, from steel columns and beamed ceilings in the lobby and guestrooms to a statue of the mill’s founder by the spa — which used to serve as his office.”

An absolutely exceptional experience. The hotel combines elegance, charm, and flawless service in every detail. The atmosphere is truly unique, with breathtaking views over Venice that make every moment feel special. The staff were discreet, attentive, and highly professional.

A very special and unique hotel - but choose your transfer carefully

This is a wonderfully unique hotel in an extraordinary building across the Venice lagoon on Giudecca island. It is oozing with history and is a very special place. I'm sure the views across the lagoon to the main city of Venice would be impressive, but as we chose to travel in February, the foggy conditions meant we couldn't see much! The breakfast selection is enough to please everyone and the regular hotel shuttle boats over to the main island are invaluable and reassuringly reliable.

We had been told by friends that that view from the bar on the top floor and swimming pool was spectacular. Unfortunately this was closed for renovation, so we weren't able to experience or enjoy this. Much more seriously, we ended up compromising with our airport transport and booked a shared water taxi, which was described by the Hilton hotel as "a good reliable service". We booked with venicelink.com, but the trip to the airport was neither good nor reliable. It took over 90 minutes, we were given no information or updates, and we nearly missed our flight as a result, It was a very stressful end to the holiday and completely overshadowed our stay. I would not recommend this transfer option to anyone.

Great all around. Just offer a water bottle in the rooms please

Everything was pristine and meticulously taken care of. Great staff and amazing rooms

I would expect a little more from such a hotel, for example, a complimentary bottle of water in the room, Venice isn’t around the corner for anyone so it implies a long flight / drive over. Or something more than just a shower cap in the bathroom. As many similar level hotels would offer. Just little things that don’t cost much but go a long way. After a 5h drive and a hot shower, I had to find out we can purchase a bottle at the bar in the lobby. Just offer a bottle of water per room and it’ll be truly 5/5 stars

Potentially great but let down by shortcomings

The building looks incredibly nice, the ground floor was also incredibly nice looking. I quite liked being away from the main island and the location really encouraged me to use the vaporetto water buses which I ended up really liking.

I booked a room with a view, I did get a view but via tiny windows, nothing like the photos. The hotel looked luxurious but felt like a 3 star hotel, The music in the rooftop bar also really didn't fit how the hotel looked.

An excellent hotel if you can avoid eating at their restaurant. Many dining options in San Marco.

Staff and breakfast were very good.

We had a meal at the Bacaromi resturant and the Cod fish with the Polenta was the worst dish we ever had anywhere in the world. Both the fish and the Polenta was a very small dish and they were in a tiny sauce format, runny as if poured from a bottle. Never seen anything like this. A complete rip off @ around 27 Euros, the worlds most expensive sauce. The prawns and Calamari were also below average.

Lots of potential and very good but execution lacked the cherry on top.

Breakfast was spectacular. Most personnel very professional and in nice attire.

A/C should be working in any good hotel all year around. When we were there in March there was no cooling on. The personnel in the 'Elite Lounge' seemed to stop restock at about 18:00 and started cleaning the lounge food and snacks around 18:50 even though opening hours to 19:00. The hotel boats to Venice center (that you pay 15EUR/ppc extra for) sometimes couldn't accommodate all guests if many waited. They then had to wait another hour for the next run (because why would you send another boat, right?). WIFI was not good. Breaking connection now and then, especially during evening hours.

We loved the hotel and the history - we had a wonderful stay.

The breakfast was fantastic.

It was an expensive hotel to stay in and although we understood that the spa would have to be paid for separately it was a shame that it wasn't available free to guests-even if it was limited to one visit per stay.

I liked the bed and room temperature. There was no noise from the air con unit which bothered me during the night. The location and boat was regular and reliable. The staff were lovely, all of them.

The restaurant isn’t a 5 star! A Caesar Salad being €38 euro consisted of some leaves, dry chicken and sauce. Pretty shocking to be honest. The food isn’t good enough from the room service menu or restaurant menu. BUT the breakfast was top quality.

Returning to Venice after 30 years to celebrate my birthday made this stay truly special, and the hotel was the perfect

Beautiful views, an outstanding breakfast and truly exceptional service. We also received a complimentary room upgrade, which was a wonderful surprise and made the stay even more special.

The only minor downside, which is not the hotel’s fault, was that the indoor pool was not accessible for my 7-year-old daughter. Otherwise, everything was excellent.

Would stay again

It's a good looking 5 star with all the stuff you'd expect to see. Good food, drink, cocktails, service, lots of good touches and they've made an effort to bring a bit of Venice inside so you know you're in Venice when you're inside. Based on our room which was very nice. I love Hilton beds. They're so comfortable. There's a hotel shuttle boat service to St Mark's square which only takes 5 minutes and it's pretty frequent. If you're delayed past midnight so you can't make it back using the hotel boat, you can take the public or a taxi boat. Reception staff are exceptional and gave us a really warm welcome. Cleaning staff also excellent. The rooftop bar had great service. Luggage guy was great which is a small touch but it gave us a good, final 'ciao' to our stay. Breakfast is absolutely massive and good. Food's generally very good and I really liked the cocktails.

There isn't anything which was particularly bad but a few things which could be better. I can see how the rooftop bar would be amazing in summer but in winter it's just a bit dull and we didn't really want to return even though the service was good. Concierge could have given more options. We needed a bit more information about Venice and it was easier just to Google than ask. Maybe have some info at reception. Comms about getting to the hotel were nonexistent. We sort of figured it out but comms in their welcome email would've saved us a load of time trying to figure it out. Service is OK, a bit hit and miss but could be good. Nothing that would particularly put us off from returning.

Love loved the breakfast buffet! So much to eat! I gained 10ln just looking at the variety of food. Very impressed. The service was also great!!!

It was to far from the grand canal, where we loved to go back to again and again. But they did have free water transportation boats back to the main attractions. Then we just walked to the grand canal 10 minute walk. It’s a beautiful walk, walked through all the and tourist shops and juice and cafes shops. P. S we stayed on the grand canal for 2 days prior to Hilton

A refined and memorable stay, with excellent comfort and service in a unique Venetian setting.

The room was excellent, very comfortable, with a beautiful layout and an exceptional bathroom. Breakfast was outstanding, truly one of the highlights of the stay. The only downside for me was the location logistics: having to rely on the hotel boat at specific times to cross to Venice reduces the sense of independence, unless you choose a water taxi, which comes at an additional cost and makes spontaneous visits to the historic center more difficult.

The only downside for me was the location logistics.
