Schindler 700 Traction Elevators - Guest Rooms [Hilton Times Square]

The guest room elevators at the hotel no one can seem to find, or get in...

These are pretty much in the top 5 of my favorite elevators. I haven't found any other lift cab this unique, and with such ingenious design. Putting the lights on the back wall just makes it SO cool, as well as those unique shaft door exteriors in the Lobby and the CC level. Really, very nice.

The elevators themselves are fast and have good controllers, but the rollers need to be replaced - there is a somewhat significant amount of lateral shaking during the trip.

I really like that lighting style they used. It makes it very illuminated and bright. By the way how fast is that elevator? Great video!

[revo8778]

Yes, it's very nice. I dunno how fast they are, maybe 800FPM?

Very nice. Have you filmed the elevators at the Empire State Building?

[revo8778]

No, the lifts for the observation deck cost money to ride and are nearly always crowded. All of the other elevators in the building are cordoned off.

LOL That is very fast but bouncy

I doubt that L is located somewhere close to the ground floor.

@cannycart I was thinking the same thing. But at least it's not ThyssenKrupp because the buzz may drive anyone crazy.

Interesting see MT fixtures with these many floors.

I would expect Otis, not Schindler at a hotel like this..
