About Crane Hotel
Harlingen, Netherlands
A dockside crane converted into a luxury hideaway for two
This
is a genuine dockside crane which has been the recipient of intelligent
engineering and dedicated devotion rarely seen in a private home – let
alone in a hotel property. Replacing the external ladders with modern
lifts to gain entry, the old machine room in the body of the crane has
been transformed into a luxurious bedroom that would not be out of place
in the most modern of design hotels.
It is an out of this world property - staying here guarantees you stories to tell your friends!
Managers, Willem and Carla have managed to keep the existing observation windows and industrial feel, but have added comfort, warmth and the latest flat screen and audio equipment to create a fantastic environment to enjoy a boyhood dream for many – your own personal, WORKING crane.
A fantastic breakfast is included, delivered magically via the internal lift to your bedroom.

Rooms: 1
Open Period: All yearThe crane still spins when controlled from the cabin, but amazingly they’ve fitted a luxury double shower and designer loo the crane which still work when the crane is spinning!!!
Entry to the crane itself requires no exertion as lifts are provided to gain entry to the main bedroom area. The top picnic area and crane cabin are accessed via a ladder from the main bedroom, but you rarely feel enclosed or adverse to heights. This is a solid, trustworthy block of metal, and even when it’s rotating you recognize that it is capable of lifting tons of goods, so you and your bedroom don’t pose a problem.

Believe it or not they actually got a crane hotel on the dockside in
Harlingen the Netherlands this crane has got elevator instead of the usual
stairs for guest and the old machine room transformed into a luxurious romantic
hideaway for two but still a very strange way to spend the night instead of a
lobby you check in on the docks below. I think this is very smart of the owners
going of the childhood dreams of operating a crane to get people to spend the
night, I don’t know how many people would be really into the experience but it
would defiantly be a great story to tell to friends and family sometimes all
you need is a good gimmick to get crowds in.
