The Crane Hotel: Taking the Vacation Experience to New Heights

Overlooking the harbor in Harlingen, Holland, is a hotel that’s taking luxury to new – and quirky – heights. The Crane Hotel, situated an hour outside of Amsterdam, is located inside the body of a converted crane. Though the “hotel” can only accommodate a maximum of two people, the single room has all the comforts one has come to expect from a $400-per-night hotel room; a private elevator, flat screen TV, room service, complementary breakfast…and a control room.

The crane is fully operational, which means guests can take advantage of the 360-degree ocean views by using the joystick to rotate the crane in a circle.

For photos and information on how to reserve a spot for this, er, uplifting vacation experience, check out the hotel’s official website. Because who doesn’t want to be able to tell everyone they know that they stayed in a crane? What’s next? A hotel in a forklift? Now there’s an idea!
