The 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.
The engine room has been restored and provides a rare glimpse into the workings of classic engineering.
I know what you are thinking; this is all very nice, but none of it functions anymore, does it? How wrong you are.
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?
Incredibly, your room has all the modern conveniences and room for two people to stay comfortably. The views are really special.
