At a Glance
Housed in a former flour factory on Giudecca facing the main island of Venice, this huge property run by Hilton has two main attractions: a rooftop pool with incredible views over the city, and a price tag that’s way more affordable than many of Venice’s other options.

Review
A few years ago the Hilton group undertook the transformation of this industrial space into one of their most upscale properties, and the results have been extremely successful. While not an intimate hotel by any means, the property has the kind of amenities that are particularly welcomed by families, namely a pool that has panoramic views of the city, free shuttle transfers to sights like Saint Mark’s. It also has a price tag that’s very affordable in a city where things can be vastly inflated. The service is efficient, and rooms, while rather generic in design, are comfortable, with large bathrooms.
Who Should Stay
Families who are looking to be close to the sites but not to the crowds, business travelers, and groups looking for a pre or post cruise stop.
