- Unique crane hotel setting
- Luxury design suites
- IJ river views
- Adults-only resort
Our take
A fine match for couples or solo travelers who want a truly unique, luxurious stay with a strong design focus. The adults-only policy and the setting inside a former harbor crane make it a memorable choice for a special occasion or a romantic getaway. Those who prefer a traditional hotel layout, or who need extensive on-site amenities such as several dining options or a large pool complex, may find the intimate scale less suitable.
- Book a suite explicitly for the IJ river views, as the elevated position offers striking panoramas.
- Take advantage of the ferry service to Amsterdam Central Station for convenient city exploration.
- Plan a special evening to fully appreciate the unique ambiance and design of your two-floor suite.
Why we love it
- Staying in a luxurious suite within a former harbor crane
- Panoramic views of the IJ river from every suite
- The distinctive two-floor design of each accommodation
- An exclusive adults-only waterfront resort experience
Why guests love itFaralda Crane Hotel is an adults-only five-star hotel built inside a former 50-metre harbour crane on the IJ waterfront, so it is not an option for families with children. Each two-floor design suite has a king-size bed, a bathtub, a rain shower and views over the IJ river. The 9.7 score is excellent, though it rests on just 15 reviews. I recommend it to couples marking an occasion; parents should look at family hotels elsewhere in Amsterdam for a trip with kids.
