THE KRANE?
It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s a crane?
Yes, and a luxe getaway, too! A Danish team has transformed a
former coal crane in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn harbor into a spiffy
two-person retreat, spa and meeting space called the Krane.
The bedroom features all-black interiors, reminiscent of the
structure’s gritty industrial past, while the spa boasts side-by-side
soaking tubs overlooking the harbor.
The innovative accommodation also provides a complimentary BMW
i3, bikes and a concierge.
This is not some humdrum hotel (from about $2,900).
THE KRANE is an immersive, multi-sensory experience. Inside is exclusive Danish
design in black in homage to its past as a coal crane. Outside is the sea, sky, harbour
and panoramic views over Copenhagen. An inventive, cohesive concept in this private
retreat for two.
THE KRANE is an aesthetic oasis amidst an industrial landscape
on the edge of Nordhavn, one of the last harbours under
renovation in Denmark’s capital. Spearheaded by visionary
owner Klaus Kastbjerg and architect / master builder Mads
Møller from Arcgency, the concept builds on its dark past as
a crane for loading coal by using black as the colour scheme
throughout. Fostering a soothing sense of serenity inside this
multi-tiered structure comprised of a reception area on the
ground floor, a meeting room called the GLASS BOX on the
first floor, a spa and terrace on the second floor, and a retreat
on top called the KRANE ROOM with a lounge and terrace.
It reflects Denmark’s less-is-more stance on luxury, where anything
extraneous is eliminated favouring only what’s essential.
Inside, the subdued black interior sets the scene like a
picture frame for the unobstructed views over Copenhagen
and beyond.
