Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, the iconic hotel set within a beautifully restored former flour mill on Venice's Giudecca Island, has unveiled its newly restyled Venetian Ballroom and Conference Centre, further cementing its position as one of Italy's leading destinations for meetings, incentives, conferences and events (MICE). Combining contemporary design with the building's rich industrial heritage, the re-design introduces a sophisticated new look to the hotel's versatile event spaces, offering an exceptional setting for everything from international conferences and corporate meetings to gala dinners and exclusive celebrations.
The Venetian Ballroom
At the heart of the new offering is the impressive Venetian Ballroom, an expansive 840 sqm, completely column-free space accommodating up to 900 delegates. One of the largest event spaces of its kind in north-east Italy, the ballroom offers exceptional flexibility, with the option to divide the space into five independent sections, each with its own entrance. The refreshed interiors, contemporary design details and fully customisable layouts allow organisers to create bespoke settings for a wide range of events, from large-scale conferences and exhibitions to sophisticated gala dinners and receptions.
The newly designed ballroom made its spectacular debut on 6th September 2026, hosting the prestigious amfAR Venezia gala during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. Bringing together leading names from the worlds of film, fashion, art and entertainment, the star-studded evening raised nearly $3 million in support of amfAR's pioneering biomedical research programmes. Hosted by Academy Award-winning filmmaker and actor Taika Waititi, the gala welcomed guests including Pamela Anderson, Orlando Bloom and Marina Abramović, with live performances from Mimi Webb and Bebe Rexha. The high-profile occasion provided a stunning showcase for the re-designed ballroom, demonstrating its versatility and capacity to host large-scale international events.
Versatile Spaces for Meetings, Conferences and Events
Beyond the Venetian Ballroom, Hilton Molino Stucky Venice offers an extensive range of flexible event spaces, with 2,500 sqm of indoor meeting facilities and a further 1,200 sqm of outdoor event space. The hotel's Conference Centre includes 12 naturally lit meeting rooms, equipped with modern technology and suitable for smaller conferences, board meetings, workshops and breakout sessions of up to 70 delegates.
A spacious, light-filled foyer adjoining the ballroom provides additional flexibility, offering an elegant setting for welcome receptions, networking events, coffee breaks and cocktail parties, while the hotel's impressive outdoor venues provide opportunities to take events beyond the traditional conference setting.
These include the secluded Stucky Garden, ideal for intimate receptions and al fresco dining, and the panoramic Skyline Rooftop Bar, where delegates can enjoy cocktails against the breathtaking backdrop of Venice's iconic skyline. The hotel's waterfront terraces also offer distinctive settings for private dinners, networking receptions and special celebrations overlooking the Giudecca Canal.
Complementing the hotel's impressive facilities is a dedicated team of meetings and events specialists, who work closely with organisers to create tailored experiences, providing expert support throughout every stage of the planning process. This commitment to excellence has been recognised by the prestigious World Travel Awards, with Hilton Molino Stucky Venice named the World's Leading City Conference Hotel for three consecutive years, from 2023 to 2025. The hotel has also been recognised as Europe's Leading Conference Hotel for ten consecutive years and Italy's Leading Conference Hotel for thirteen consecutive years.
Bespoke Dining and Sustainable Events
An integral part of the hotel's meetings and events offering is its exceptional culinary expertise, with bespoke menus and creative banqueting concepts designed to elevate every occasion. Championing locally sourced ingredients and authentic Venetian flavours, the hotel's talented culinary team works with organisers to create memorable dining experiences, from elegant gala dinners and sophisticated cocktail receptions to informal networking lunches.
Through its Making Moments project, the hotel brings together the creativity of its chefs and food and beverage specialists to transform traditional event catering into distinctive culinary experiences, tailored to the individual requirements of each event.
