Otis Traction Elevators at the W Hotel Downtown Atlanta

[Triumphguy1]

love the otis gen2 voice

:D

[NYelevators]

These elevators are a bit slow, but they are very nice. I love them!

Awesome Video!

[escalatorgeek881]

That is a cool building, but I went there a few weeks ago and all of the elevators, including the hotel elevators, require key cards for any floor above the lobby.

[elevatorgeek88]

@escalatorgeek881 did the 13 story hydraulic elevator that accesses the whisky blue have a key card reader for it ?

[escalatorgeek881]

@elevatorgeek88 I don't think so. I just didn't try that because I was thinking that you had to be 18 to go in there.

[Femmanon]

Such a nice elevator but reeeally bad shoes. =xx

Still, thank you so much for sharing!!

-Mairna. xD <3

[musicfreakcc]

@Femmanon Well, those Birkenstocks have kept me out of the podiatrist's office for years, so I really don't care what they look like.

[revo8778]

Wow, W elevators sans keycard reader.

[stevethemeave45]

those are very elegant elevators.

[2591746]

Should is be a Otis GEN2??

[musicfreakcc]

Maybe

[revo8778]

They're a little slow for Elevonics, an Otis likes to shove in Gen2 more than 2000T for low-rises.

[mz5879]

@musicfreakcc It is a GEN2 because if the voice.

[scheitinjebroek]

2:39 wipe?

[scheitinjebroek]

this time no music XD

[meric12131415]

how do u get up to the heli pad oh and dues the the heli pad have a helicopter dues the elevator go fast

[mz5879]

it's a otis GEN2 elevator also

[Biglele208]

was the first elevator double-sided?

[mz5879]

It's a GEN2.

[BigElevatorDude707]

These elevators are ultra-nice!

[musicfreakcc]

Oh yes - some of my favorite elevators in the city. In addition, they are extremely smooth, although the high-rise ones are a bit slow.

[BigElevatorDude707]

Indeed.

[Biglele208]

What did the sign above the buttons say?

[musicfreakcc]

Something about wiping your feet when exiting the elevator, since many of the elevators were still being worked on.

[shadywood79]

He pointed the camera right at that sign so you can read it clear as day! why did u have to ask what it said

[InterestPossession]

At 4:20, when they have those, it can sometimes be hard to distinguish the # of dings made. I think it has something to do with there not being a pause before the second ring, like a continuous noise.

[sope1992]

Why do not the 13th floor stop in the elevator for a low layer and the elevator for multistory?

[elevatorman138]

Are building on the residential floors or something?

[Biglele208]

I thought this elevator had ThyssenKrupp elevators. Did they modernize?

[dea41396returns]

W Buckhead: KONE

W Midtown: TK

W Downtown: OTIS Gen2 and Elevonic 401

[liftdude]

Is 16 the transfer to 28?

[musicfreakcc]

No, I can just get the residential elevators there.

[elev8m8]

interesting, the last elevator you went in had a lower toned chime

[Quentinmovie]

"Wipe your feet before exiting the lift on the hotel floors" What was that about?

[Nicholas992]

Why the sound when you press it?

[Neuroth52489]

Cant even Tell if its a two speed door but it looks like it.

[musicfreakcc]

The first elevator had one.

[sope1992]

Is H floor the 28th floor?

[musicfreakcc]

Yes.

[elevatorgeek762]

What's H? Health club?

[musicfreakcc]

Look at the annotations!!!!!!!

[ElevatorMan2012]

Love that voice! :D

Funny how you almost always got that same dumpy-looking one. I hate that. That actually happened to me at a hotel once. I sent it back down and tried to call another one, but the SAME ONE came back up after stopping at the floor I sent it to. They were Dover elevators. Figures. :P

[skidv25]

I'm surprised they're letting guests ride in that elevator. It really isn't something the guests need to be riding in if management wants the guests to have a positive experience at the W.

[ElevatorMan2012]

True. But I wouldn't think that most guests would care, especially because the others are in perfect condition.

[Neuroth52489]

Shiny.

[ElevatorMan2012]

You're supposed to say Ooooh! Ahhhhh! and then Shiny!

[liftdude]

Where's 2, 3 & 13?

[musicfreakcc]

I don't know.

[JonElevator]

What elevonic model is this?

[musicfreakcc]

I don't know.

[elevatorgeek762]

GEN2?

[FranceHopper]

Helipad? What in the world does a hotel need a helipad for?

[musicfreakcc]

Well - the top half of the building contains condos.

[FranceHopper]

I guess that makes sense then. Alright.
