The Molino Stucky Hilton isn't the most centrally-located hotel in Venice, but it's popular with convention groups, cruisers, and Hilton fans (including many who are redeeming points from the Hilton hotel group's loyalty program).

Because we've received e-mails from readers who haven't been able to figure out how to reach the hotel, we've just published an illustrated four-page article at Venice for Visitors titled "Molino Stucky Hilton Airport and Cruise Port Transportation."

The article includes step-by-step directions on how to reach the hotel from Marco Polo Airport and Venice's Marittima and San Basilio cruise terminals (or vice versa). It also has a Google aerial photo map that shows the hotel, the cruise piers, and other useful landmarks.

We hope you'll find our information useful if you're contemplating a stay at Venice's largest hotel, which is on the island of Giudecca across from the historic center of Venice and the cruise port. Click here to read the article.
