Tucked away in the vibrant street-art district of Amsterdam, Netherlands, lies the extraordinary Crane Hotel Faralda, an unparalleled hotel experience that will leave you breathless. This former crane, now a luxurious abode, offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sleep 50 meters above the ground, surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The beautifully designed suite, complete with a rooftop jacuzzi, is the epitome of luxury and magic.
As you step into this industrial-chic haven, you'll be greeted by the exceptional service, who are dedicated to making your stay nothing short of amazing. Be sure to take note of the unique entrance and industrial crane elevator before your arrival, as it adds to the confusion, excitement, and exclusivity of your stay.
While the price range of around 1,000 euros per night may seem steep, the initial experience and views are undeniably worth it. However, it's essential to consider that extended stays may not be the best value. A tip for light sleepers: bring a sleep mask and ear plugs, as the curtains may not entirely block out the city lights and neon glow and ambient sound of the art district below.
Despite the contrasting scene below, with homeless individuals living in trailers and washing their clothes by the water, teens making out in cars at the end of the drive, the Crane Hotel Faralda remains a hidden gem, a testament to the city's eclectic charm. If you're seeking an unforgettable escape, this hotel is an absolute must-visit, even if only for a night. So, come and experience the thrill of staying in a landmark crane, with its extravagant decor and unparalleled views of Amsterdam.
