What Amsterdam's Faralda Crane Hotel lacks in practicality, it more than makes up for in originality and industrial charm.

Set in a former harbour crane at 165 feet high and located at NDSM shipyard, this five-star attraction was used to haul cargo between 1894 and 1979, but now plays hosts to three luxurious suites with king-sized beds and a communal spa pool.

If the chance to stay in a historic industrial monument isn't exciting enough for you, thrill-seeking guests can bungee jump off the top of the crane and free fall 164 feet.
