Monumental crane roost
Suspended fifty meters over the River IJ, this monumental shipyard crane turns gently with the wind, reached by an exterior glass elevator.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A monumental 1950s shipyard crane restored into three suites towering over NDSM Wharf.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Faralda Crane Hotel on NDSM Wharf has three duplex suites inside a restored industrial crane, bookable strictly by request.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set along the post-industrial NDSM Wharf arts district, the crane connects to Amsterdam Centraal via a free municipal ferry ride.
The rooms
Three split-level suites are stacked inside the steel framework, with freestanding soaking tubs and double-height bedrooms framed by industrial beams.
The hot tub
The open-air heated tub sits at the fifty-meter summit, looking out over the harbor basins and city skyline.
How it began
Constructed in the 1950s for the NDSM shipyard, Crane 13 was barged across the IJsselmeer in 2013 for comprehensive structural restoration.
