Review: Executive Club Lounge Hilton Venice

Published Feb 22 2025, 8:05 PM, Updated Feb 22 2025, 9:01 PMHilton Molino Stucky Venice is a stylish hotel set in a historic factory building with over 400 beautifully designed rooms and one of the best club lounge in Venice.

Situated on Giudecca Island, this hotel stands out for its newly refurbished accommodations, which are mainly set very high up in this towering factory building. This means that the views from many of the rooms are unmatched by most other hotels in Venice, and the rooftop bar and pool offer an incredible and Instagramable destination with views across the entire of watery Venice.

Location

Spread across one end of Giudecca Island, which is across the water from St. Mark’s Square, this Hilton provides easy access to Venice’s main attractions via its regular shuttle boat, which is complimentary after an initial one-time room charge. Guests can also explore Giudecca on foot—walking from one end of the island to the other takes about 25 minutes, eventually leading to the iconic Belmond Hotel Cipriani, which sits at the far end of this long, thin island.

Style & Character

While the interiors of this converted factory building are modern and sophisticated, the hotel itself retains a deep sense of history, with exposed wooden beams and original brickwork reflecting its past as a historic warehouse.

The club lounge is located within the historic ground floor of this magnificent hotel, next to the reception and adjacent to the piano bar. The walls of the club lounge showcase the original brickwork and beams with deep set windows in the walls which look out onto one of the busiest waterways of Venice.

Reviews

The Hilton Molino Stucky Venice is a great luxury hotel choice in Venice. In fact, for the room price, it's hard to beat! Book a room at the Hilton Molino Stucky (or any other luxury hotel in the world) via our luxury travel concierge, and you get brilliant extra benefits such as free breakfast for two, resort credit and room upgrade. Venice's magical winding waterways are famous worldwide, with tens of millions of tourists visiting the UNESCO World Heritage site annually.

A floor-to-ceiling glass wall separates the lounge from the bar, allowing light to flood in from the reception and bar area. The space features bare brick and cherry red painted walls with large windows overlooking the waterfront, offering guests a scenic spot to relax while watching boats pass by.

Food & Drink

Although this is not the largest club lounge, it provides snacks and drinks throughout the day and a satisfying breakfast selection. The buffet here doesn’t compare with the lavish breakfast spread in the main restaurant, which is nothing short of spectacular, offering an extensive and diverse selection of food.

Everything you could wish for is spread out in the extravagant buffet at this Hilton. This buffet is not hosted in the club lounge, but it is worth booking a room that includes breakfast. If you book a stay at the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice via our concierge, you will get a bunch of complimentary benefits, including hotel credit and this wonderful breakfast for free.

The main restaurant breakfast spread from eggs, bacon, beans, fried potatoes, and mushrooms to cold cuts, olives, cheeses, and yogurt. Fresh honey drips from a honeycomb, there are piles of muffins and pastries, and there’s a whole table dedicated to children’s sweets and chocolates. For the health-conscious, there are vats of salad and dressings, and I’m sure there are plenty of things I didn’t even notice. Coffee, juice, and teas, as well as water, are delivered to your table. If you book a stay at the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice via our concierge, you will get a bunch of complimentary benefits, including hotel credit and this wonderful breakfast for free.

The club lounge breakfast is continental and not overly exciting, although it is enough to fill you up. During the day, snacks like nuts, pastries, and cereal bars are available. A coffee machine provides all sorts of coffees. Fresh fruit, including apples, plums, and peaches, is provided in bowls throughout the day. There’s also a huge selection of drinks, including San Pellegrino sparkling water, still water, Coke and Diet Coke, orange drinks, and more.

In the evenings, the lounge hosts a happy hour that includes alcoholic drinks, which, while not the most extravagant, is incredibly valuable given the high cost of dining in Venice. With few supermarkets and limited budget-friendly dining options, having access to this lounge can be a major cost-saver, especially for families with children who enjoy snacking and refreshing drinks throughout the day.

Conclusion

While the executive club lounge at the Hilton Venice is a nice space, and having access to an extensive array of drinks and snacks is useful in expensive Venice. The setting of this club lounge is not great when compared to the Hilton’s restaurants set up on the waterfront cobblestones outside and the rooftop bar with views across the entirety of Venice. This club lounge is a great perk, but it is actually the breakfast here and the rooftop bar that we think are unmissable.
