Faralda Crane Hotel: Three Iconic Luxury Suites Above Amsterdam

Three legendary suites. Three completely individual worlds, each spanning two full levels of the crane. The Free Spirit, the Secret Suite, the Mystique. Each one rises above Amsterdam at more than 45 meters above the IJ, above the rooftops, above the ordinary.

Explore the hotels

Since its earliest days, Faralda Crane Hotel has been one of the most coveted stages in the international music industry. The crane’s music studio, positioned halfway up the structure, holds up to 85 guests and is equipped with a Pioneer CDJ-2000 NXS2 setup and VOID Sound System.

Discover CraneSessions

The Faralda Crane is one of Amsterdam’s most distinctive corporate event venues, a platform for premium brands, private product launches, boardroom retreats, and Michelin-star private dinners. Since its inception, the crane has hosted leading international brands including LVMH, Red Bull, Samsung, KPMG Meijburg, ABN AMRO, Philips, and many others.

Plan your event

Faralda Crane I has transformed Amsterdam’s skyline for over a decade. Now a second monumental tower crane, one of the last of its kind, currently in Rotterdam is set to join it at the NDSM site. Together, Faralda Crane I & II will form a singular creative and cultural institute for the corporate and music industries.

Luxury Suites

Three suites. Three private worlds. Stacked vertically inside a monumental crane above Amsterdam’s waterfront: the Free Spirit at 35 meters, raw and liberating; the Secret Suite at 40 meters, hidden and deliberately unconventional; the Mystique at 45 meters, the highest point, where the city becomes a panorama and the ordinary world disappears entirely.

Mystique Suite

The highest of Faralda’s three stacked suites, the Mystique sits at 45 meters above Amsterdam’s waterfront. The city unfolds below you in every direction, the crane turns slowly in the wind, and Amsterdam feels like something you are observing from another world entirely. This is not a room with a view, it is a room that is the view.

Secret Suite

At 40 meters, there is a door that looks like part of the architecture. Behind it, the Secret Suite occupies its own private level: hidden, unconventional, cut off from the world below. Most people will never know it exists.

Free Spirit Suite

Some places impress. The Free Spirit liberates. At 35 meters above Amsterdam’s waterfront, this is where the ascent begins, the first of three private worlds stacked vertically inside the crane, each one rising higher than the last. Raw in character, deliberate in design, and entirely uncensored in atmosphere, the Free Spirit does not soften its edges. Neither do its guests.
