Dockside Crane Converted into Hip Hotel in the Netherlands

If you have a chance to visit Netherlands and want to stay in a cool hotel. How about this one? The "crane hotel" is a dockside crane converted into a luxury hotel. The hotel is only an hour from Amsterdam, if you travel by car.

The luxury bedroom once used to be the machine room. The outside ladder was replaced by the modern lift. The flat screen and audio equipment have added to the existing observation windows to create an amazing environment. In addition, the fantastic thing of the hotel is you can have your own personal working crane which you can control it from the driver cabin.
