One of the world's oldest and largest cranes has been transformed into a swanky hotel.Architects say the 50-metre maritime crane in Amsterdam still moves in the wind, metro.co.ukreported.
Hotel Faralda boasts three luxury hotel suites -- each with their own unique character and one with an outdoor hot tub.
The 250 ton crane was left to decay had previously been branded 'impossible' to develop. But just three years since that statement, the crane is hosting elite guests in its rotating suites decked out by a top team of interior designers.
Spokesman Edwin Kornmann Rudi told Daily Mail: 'After years of preparation there was a point of no return. Nowhere else in the world is there something as unique, as big and high as this hotel.’
The suites are the most expensive in the Netherlands after developers splurged 660,000 Pounds (nearly Rs 6.3 crore) building each room, setting customers back by 340 Pounds (Rs 32,429) each.
