The Bar/Lounge at Hilton Molino Stucky Venice

"Venice's tough historic-preservation regulations mean there are no umbrellas and relatively few lounge chairs (in summer, you need to be up here soon after the pool's 9 am opening to be sure of a place)"

"It includes over 500 rooms (with 50 suites) and Venice’s largest conference centre; the decor is a little lighter than Venetian traditional, and there are five restaurants and bars, a rooftop pool and a luxurious spa"

"The hotel itself is a restored flour mill with a rooftop pool and bar"

"The executive rooms with access to the executive lounge on floors four and five have the best views"
