The DNA: Crane Hotel Faralda is a unique hotel consisting of three suites in an industrial monument that was part the former NDSM shipyard. It is located at the former NDSM shipyard, on the northern side of Amsterdam’s IJ waterfront. A free ferry makes a relaxing trip to the Central Station. The bilevel suites are accessed by panorama lifts and have spectacular water and city views with amazing sunrise and sunsets as they are set at 35 to 45 metres high. Although the suites are quiet, regular festivals downstairs can cause noise. On top is an outdoor jacuzzi.
