  • It looks like an atrium lobby with glass elevators. Those are my favorite kind of hotels. Is this hotel where all the floors overlook the lobby with the glass elevators in the middle of the balconies?

  • Yes. Plus the other elevators that overlook the Arkansas River and North Little Rock.

  • @eleljep : What's on P?

  • P is the Pinnacle Level. This is where they have private parties and I think suites.

  • I went to Oaklawn three weeks ago. They still have that hand operated Otis. They are building the instant racing (the casino like) part on the right side. It'll be open in May and I believe since all the elevators in Oaklawn are Otis', this one will be an Otis.

  • Yea Hot Springs would have some good ones. Lots of old OTIS elevators at the Park Hotel and the Velda Rose. The Velda Rose has a nice old service elevator that the public can ride. Also the Howard Johnson has two elevators. One was old and broke last time I was there. A really awsome one would be the horse track as they used to have a otis that was hand operated. I dunno if it is still there or not.

  • You're welcome. I'm a try get more from in the area. Plus I'm a make a trip to Hot Springs to get some videos there.

  • Thanks for getting these elevators. I was going to try to get them last time I was down there but never made it there.

  • Like what CaptainElevator42189 said: The speed should've been 600 FPM instead of 350 FPM. I did a retake on this again.

  • And this is ironic, because the Peabody down in Orlando serves more floors and is much faster than this.
