On the banks of Giudecca Island resides the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, an iconic building that has defined the Venetian landscape for more than a century. The pinnacle of industrialist Giovanny Stucky’s commercial empire, the Molino Stucky originally functioned as one of Europe’s largest mills from the 1880s until the 1950s. For a time, the Molino Stucky produced some the highest quantities of flour on the entire continent. Labor strife, war, and Stucky’s untimely death all contributed to the gradual downfall of the mill, which ceased operating in 1955. The Italian company Societa Dell’Acqua Pia Antica Marcia SpA purchased the complex several decades later, eventually joining together with Hilton Hotels to transform the Molino Stucky into a hotel. After completing a massive restoration in 2007, Hilton reopened the complex as the "Hilton Molino Stucky Venice." Only a five-minute boat ride from downtown Venice, the Hilton Molino Stucky is at a great juncture point to start exploring the city. The entirety of Venice itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, containing some of the most historic architectural wonders in all of Europe. Guests can easily travel to the San Marco Basilica and the Doge’s Palace at the Piazza San Marco. The Ca’ D’Oro and the Galleria Dell’Accademia display some of the most beautiful artwork ever created.
