Fancy living the high life?

Visitors to Amsterdam can stay in a crane that's been transformed into a luxury penthouse – but it will set you back more than £600 per night, writes dailymail.co.uk.

Originally used to unload ships in the city's port, Figee crane 2868 has been converted into a three-storey apartment decoarated by Dutch designer Edward van Vliet.

Known as The Yays – Crane Apartment, guests get to sleep in a comfortable bed, dine with views over the city and even take a relaxing bath.

Guests also get access to a Yays bicycle to explore the city on, a range of exclusive services and of course, an unforgettable experience.

The crane was originally built after the Second World War, commissioned by the Royal Dutch Steamboat Company.

Located on the dynamic KNSM Island, it was quite literally the bridge between the Netherlands and the rest of the world.

But with the invention of shipping containers, cranes were no longer strong enough and the eastern Docklands became overgrown and full of empty warehouses.

When the docks were made into a residential area in 1975, Figee crane 2868 was spared from demolition.

Now, it's situated in a buzzing part of town surrounded by art galleries, shops and restaurants.

Peter Heule, the CEO of Yays Concierged Boutique Apartments, said: 'We're pleased to have the honour to manage the former Figee crane 2868 and to offer it 'a new life' with Yays.

'The crane is back in its home port after a thorough restoration and redecoration by the well-known designer Edward van Vliet.

'This is the way how we would like to contribute to the development of the city of Amsterdam.'

Yays is a travel and stay concept that claims to 'reroute urban tourism' giving holidaymakers the chance to stay in 'historical buildings in lively areas you won't find on the tourist maps.'

According to its website, guests 'will still feel the crane's history and enjoy ultimate comfort at the same time.'
