The hotel’s panoramic rooftop swimming pool overlooks Venice from a bird-eyes perspective, which is sure to delight guests of all ages. Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, a former flour mill, is now offering the following new authentic Venetian activities, which are bound to leave guests with newly discovered skills and beautiful memories.
New Historic Island Boat Tours of Venice Discovering Venice by a boat tour is a fantastic and unique way for travelers of all ages to increase their understanding of the history, geography and traditions of Italy's iconic city. The new guided boat tour will collect guests from the hotel and will sweep them off their feet as they tour the charming islands of the lagoon by water. The private boat tour includes a visit to the magical island of Murano, where guests can witness the ancient art of glass blowing at the hands of an expert glassmaker. The boat tour itinerary also includes a trip to the colorful island of Burano, where traditional delicate Venetian handmade lace is available for visitors to buy. The fishermen's bright houses in Burano are a stunning spectacle in contrast to Venice's pale blue and green waters. There is an excellent selection of local seafood restaurants to enjoy on the island. The tour will also visit the peaceful island of Torcello, where guests can admire the incredible Byzantine mosaics in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Dell'Assunta and see the historic stone seat known as Attila's throne. Children and teenagers will love exploring the city by boat and seeing Venetian history and culture first-hand in style!
Learn How to Make Murano Glass Hilton Molino Stucky Venice can arrange for families with children aged ten and up to visit a local glass blowing workshop. Here, guests can better understand the intricacies and complex art behind creating the delicate Murano glass, dating back to the 8th century. Young travelers will be mesmerized as the artisans meticulously demonstrate their skills creating sculptures from red-hot melted glass in various bold colors. Parents will have the opportunity to purchase a high-quality Murano glass creation as a special memento of their tour.
If the magnificent art inspires guests in Venice, Hilton Molino Stucky Venice can also arrange for families to have privately guided tours of The Peggy Guggenheim Collection. The museum boasts some of the most impressive galleries in Italy of European and American art of the twentieth century and is conveniently nearby the hotel.

Once on site, families can rent bicycles and explore the vintage atmosphere of the world’s famous Venice Film Festival before going for a dip in the gentle and refreshing water. Families of all ages can search for seashells and make a sandcastle on the beach or simply switch off and relax under a beach parasol to the sound of the waves rustling against the shore.
