Westinghouse Outside Elevator at Hilton Towers in Atlanta

Retake of the elevator at the Hilton Hotel in Downtown Atlanta, Georgia. 2 of the 8 elevators are completely outside with no containment structure. There are also 2 indoor scenic elevators. They are Westinghouse elevators that were modernized by a company that I forgot. Please comment if you do so.

of all the elevators i wanted to get the westin the marriott and this one were at the top of my list

The W Midtown's elevators are also very fun (if you get the one scenic elevator, out of a group of 5). The all-time must is the Bank of America Plaza, since those are by far the fastest elevators in the city.

i can see it the car hits a bird going up booom!!! is it ok for the cables to be exposed to the elements that much it would seem problematic

[musicfreakcc]

The cables are not a problem - only once in recorded history have modern elevator cables snapped. I'm concerned about the rails and doors.

are the glass elevators express elevators?

[musicfreakcc]

Sometimes they rum in express mode, but most of the time, no.

I think they should have like 3 panels with up and down buttons. One says, "Internal (Non-Scenic)," another says, "Atrium View," and the 3rd says "City View."

No, that's the lower level, with "Trader Vic's" restaurant.
