After a major restoration from 2011-2016, the monumental 50-metre (164 feet) high crane is now a brand-new luxury hot spot in Amsterdam with only 3 suites and a TV Broadcasting studio. The Crane Hotel Faralda is a monumental landmark and the icon in the middle of the industrial NDSM heritage. With a different and marvellous view every day, the crane has a wind vane mode and moves slowly in the wind!

What does it have to offer

The rooms are built into the crane, ranging from 114 feet from the ground to 164 feet if you book the highest suite (which comes with its own open-air hot tub!).

There are three five-star suites namely Free Spirit, Secret, and Mystique. The crane is also located on a dock, meaning you’ve got great views no matter which room you choose. Free Spirit is the lowest hanging suite at 114 feet above the ground, with a focus on high-design furniture and a free-standing tub with a killer view.

The secret is the next-highest suite at 130 feet in the air and was previously a machinery room. This suite is a stunning split-level with a copper bathtub from Marrakech. The third — and tallest — suite is Mystique, floating 147 feet in the air. This suite is decorated with old parts from a sunken ocean cruiser and, as you might have guessed, also has a bathtub!
