Spin Your Hotel Room Round in Harlingen's Crane Hotel

Where: Dokkade 5, Harlingen, Netherlands

While you might've thought that staying underground or even underwater has the makings of being in an unusual hotel, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Think high above the harbour, think movable room, think breakfast delivered from below in a lift: and you've got the exclusive Crane Hotel in Harlingen, just an hour from Amsterdam.

Yep, this is definitely one of the most unique hotels around, and sadly there's only one room of it. Inside the crane things are pretty luxurious, and you get fantastic views over the harbour. It's a bit of a squeeze getting in up the elevators, and they recommend packing just a small suitcase or soft bag if you want to get into your room easily. But once you're there, you'll never leave, because you'll be having way too much fun moving the crane around! It's still functional and you can "drive" it yourself. The kind of holiday where you're never going to see the sights, except from your hotel room window. At $400 a night for a couple (including delivered breakfast) it's not cheap, but come on: you can stay in a crane!
