• Hilton Molino Stucky Venice   


Venice's First Neo-Gothic Revival Building, and Former Flour Mill, is Reborn as a Luxury Hotel

Hilton;
In mid-2007, Hilton Molino Stucky Venice will debut with previously unseen views of Venice's islands, a private landing jetty, rooftop pool and bar, a variety of food and beverage venues, one hotel shop, central access to Venice's attractions, and a rich architectural history of its own. Hilton Molino Stucky Venice will emerge as a premier, top-tier luxury property in one of the world's main tourist destinations.

Restoration of a Venetian Landmark
The 380-room hotel has been noted as the most significant architectural project in Venice in recent years. The project has spanned more than four years, transforming the 13 buildings of Molino Stucky, a 19th-Century flour mill, into Hilton Molino Stucky Venice. The mill, Venice's first neo-gothic revival building, has been restored without any alterations to its fa̧ade or industrial structure. When the hotel opens, it will mark the first time this unique waterfront landmark has been occupied in more than 50 years.

Guidecca's Historic Past
The hotel's waterfront location is on Canale Giudecca, which was once an island reserved for banished 'giudicati,' or noblemen. One of its most famous residents, Michelangelo, lived there in the 16th Century. The Giudecca are a gondola-shaped group of islands perfectly positioned to offer the new sweeping views of Venice that Hilton Molino Stucky Venice will provide.

Hilton Molino Stucky Venice features 380 guest rooms, including 100 executive rooms and 50 suites. An executive lounge will offer private check-in and check-out and complimentary breakfast, beverages and refreshments throughout the day.

Paolo Biscioni, general manager of the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, commented: "As we get closer to completion of this truly unique architectural project, the level of excitement associated with the introduction of a new luxury hotel in the heart of Venice grows and grows.
