Only once have the cables of a traction elevator ever been ripped - at the Empire State Building when it was hit by a plane in 1946 (the person inside the elevator survived). Many people speculate it happened on 9/11 at the WTC, too.
A lot of people know this, but many nice things about these types of hotels. In this tall hotel, the elevators have glass. They talk, too! A small part of each floor inside the building is the actual floor, goes around the building, but not the very middle of it. The elevators are sort of a round shape. The top has a skylight, that's pretty nice, too.
Otis did not completely modernize them. They just touched up the panels, replaced some of the vacuum-fluorescent displays, painted all of them silver (I prefer the original red), and upgraded the controller.
I have videos of these elevators

In my opinion, that is one of the best elevator rides in the world, mostly due to the fact that it's fast and is windowed.
