  • If those elevators are still there after tornado, can you make a video called, "Otis High Speed Service Elevators at the Westin Peachtree Plaza"?

  • I can't get into the service elevators. I have tried on numerous floors, but they're always locked off.

  • oh, i see, can you make another video at the westin and going to see the hotel areas when you get off floor 70? becuase I've never been to atlanta and I wanna see the hotel rooms when you walk out of the elevators, and when you go to the bottom, can you press 6 and 5 and stop at six and then show us what the down looks like on the monitor that tells us what floor it's on?

  • Actually, the hotel areas are quite ordinary.

  • The highest speed on traction I've ever seen is 500fpm. I don't think they make make 1000fpm, That's a little to fast!

  • Sure they do. All of the major elevator companies offer elevators that go up to 2000fpm, although there are none of those installed in North America. The fastest one in America runs at 1800fpm. This is 1000 fpm because it travels about 700-710 feet, taking 44 seconds to do so (according to a hotel official).

  • the outside beep is epic

  • OH MY GOSH the outside beep is epic

  • that looks like a nice and tall hotel. we got a good deal since the tornado hit the place

  • when are the service elevators avalible, why don't you ask someone nicely to unlock them.

  • what is on levels "12" and "14"?

  • Floors 10-11 house elevator machinery and they could really use the Otis Compass Destionation Entry System in this building.
