Hilton Molino Stucky ★★★★★

It was an audacious and reckless risk in itself to attempt to build a city of such opulence, essentially, on water. Yet such a risk paid off, and produced the magnificent city that launched modern opera and baroque music onto the world stage scene. Their outlandish fashions and ideas once shocked and were prohibited by Romans, the Catholic Church even tried to excommunicate them but was forced to do otherwise when the residents withheld their tithes. This is Venice, the scandalous and rebellious island of Italy that insisted going its own way.

Impertinent but ambitious Venice worked for years to make their city stand on water, and more than that, to make it flourish. Now, just a short paddle on a curved gondola proves they succeeded; they passed the test with flying colours. And here’s a hotel that passes the VeryChic test with flying colours, a Hilton nonetheless, embedded with the alluring audacious grandeur of the Floating City.

The Hilton Molino Stucky***** was once a flourmill, now this red brick beauty has been converted into a lavish hotel that we simply cannot wait to share with you! The building itself is a modern Venetian masterpiece that stands aloft and poised along the Giudecca canal. It is located off the main island, in a quiet and reserved setting for their guests’ comfort. The boat ride to the hotel will surely be one of the most beautiful sights to witness, as Venice stretches out before you, the city of canals; a dream become real.

The Hilton’s makes an entrance; it is decked-out in Venetian splendour: marble floors, wooden beams and counter, and decorated with exotic green plants. You might be ready for the helpful and flawless staff but will you be ready for the space to which they lead you? The Executive bedrooms are decorated with fine fabrics, gold finishing and dark wooden furniture. Arched French windows look out onto the Giudecca canal, the water glittering and reflecting all that surrounds, orange and reds from the buildings contrasted against the bright blues of the canal. In the bathroom smooth marble and clear glass work together in harmony and provide you with all the amenities you need for you stay.

The Hilton makes a lasting impression. With your dinner for two offer, you can savour Venetian dishes and fine Italian wines in the relaxed atmosphere of the Rialto Lobby and Bar. A trip to the funky rooftop Skyline Bar is sure to remain in your memory with a panoramic view that stretches to the celebrated St. Mark’s Square across the sparkling blue canals and pompous architecture. Funky and block coloured chairs decorate the terrace, with a view that is simply stunning. Visit his exclusive and romantic setting for a pre-dinner aperitif or for a pleasant night cap in the warm Venetian air.

Start your day in opulence at the elegant Il Molino which serves a buffet breakfast with eggs cooked to taste. Outside a regular shuttle boat waits to take you to the centre of town, Piazza San Marco to revel in all Venice’s delights and indulge in all their pleasures. When you have worn out your feet and inevitably your shoes, a smooth ride back to your new home the Hilton will transport you away from the hustle bustle of the crowds and to the tranquil and picturesque Giudecca canal.

Here is where the five-star comfort is waiting to greet you and recharge you, and what a better way to reenergise than at the Wellness and Fitness centre? This space of 600m² is an oasis of calm and tranquillity ideal for rejuvenating and revitalising the body, mind and soul.
