The Crane Hotel - Awesome Harbor Crane Restored & RepurposedThe Crane  
Hotel

Blue Head, the Spider, and Long William are not sexual euphemisms but are actually nicknames for this old harbor crane which holds a special place in many people’s hearts.

Apparently, it took a team of ‘history fanatics’ two years to restore it to its former glory and open it as a hotel.

You don’t have to be 10 years old to think the idea of staying in a crane is pant-wittingly exciting.

I know what you are thinking; this is all very nice, but none of it functions anymore, does it? How wrong you are.

Crane at night

Yes, you can sit in the cockpit and operate the whole crane - rotating it from side to side. Is the sun in your eyes?


Just head upstairs and rotate the whole hotel to a new angle. Now, can a regular luxury hotel do that?
