Just four years later, it officially reopened as the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/faralda.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crane Hotel Faralda<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>A Creative Hub<\/h2>\n<p>The old shipyard where the crane is located is now a centre for creatives and artists, making it the perfect spot to visit for some inspiration. The crane even gently turns in the wind, offering guests a different view at any given moment!<\/p>\n<p>The owners of Crane Hotel Faralda proudly talk about the fact that it\u2019s a hidden gem hiding in plain sight, which people can see for miles but without knowing what goes on inside.<\/p>\n<p>And with a panoramic lounge and spa pool to give you a breathtaking view of Amsterdam, we can\u2019t think of a better way to look over the city.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cWhat Happens in the Crane Stays in the Crane\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>A private hangout in the sky, the Crane Hotel Faralda is the place to be, with a clientele that includes DJs, company CEOs and even royalty. The appeal comes from the hotel\u2019s privacy \u2014 there\u2019s just one point of entry to all three suites, which can be monitored by the staff to ensure prying eyes and inquisitive fans don\u2019t manage to get in.<\/p>\n<p>However, you don\u2019t <em>have<\/em> to be royalty to stay at the Faralda. As you can see from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Hotel_Review-g188590-d6929879-Reviews-Crane_Hotel_Faralda_Amsterdam-Amsterdam_North_Holland_Province.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trip Advisor reviews<\/a>, anyone is welcome, but be sure to budget \u20ac450 per night minimum depending on the room and the dates you plan on staying, and expect to pay extra for use of the spa pool.<\/p>\n<h2>Mystique, Secrets &amp; Free Spirits<\/h2>\n<p>The three suites on offer each provide something a little different. The neutral and relaxing Free Spirit Suite is in stark contrast to the explosion of red, black and gold that adorns the Mystique Suite.<\/p>\n<p>And the split-level Secret Suite has also successfully shed its history as a machinery room to become a romantic and private love nest.<\/p>\n<h2>Book Airport Parking<\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve planned your trip to Amsterdam, don&#8217;t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyparksecure.com\/airport-parking\">book an airport parking space<\/a>!
