Awesome Historic Elevators at The Muehlebach Hotel, Kansas City, MO 

I went inside this muehlbach hotel Kansas city in June 2017, i could feel the history inside that building. thanks for showing the elevators.

I wish these elevators could be put back into service, they're quite some gems

They should’ve kept these running because I would love to film these

I missed this video when you originally posted it. What a stunning building. Hotels of the past didn't have that corporate sterility that almost all of the hotels have today. The guest rooms are likely vacant because they don't meet the current standards for a hotel room in 2012. Hotel rooms of the past were very tiny and it would sadly be hard to find enough people that are willing to stay in such vintage accommodations. Marriott likely undertook a cost analysis on renovation vs. building new.

The Beatles on their September 17th tour 1964 stayed here. The bedsheets were cut up into 1inch squares and sold to the general public

Absolutely beautiful. Rather surprising that the upper levels are unused. I would think it would be cheaper to actually use them, not have them sit idle.

@TheElevatorChannel Took awhile, huh? :) I remember you mentioning this a long time ago.

Nothing says "Tasteful Mod" of a classic elevator, like EPCO uttons, and a green "ACME" Dot-Matrix floor counter.

I tried riding these today. But they've been out of service for years.

@TheElevatorChannel From the looks of some descriptions, these appeared to have been more recent. Guess not. I guess these did get pushed way back. (Then again, the current new videos of Saint Joseph are 13 months old.)

Is there any possible way on getting to those restricted floors and if there is, how?

Beautifull, a lot better than the Gen 2 and Eco crap.

Do these lifts have an independent service keyswitch?

These were installed or modernized once by Montgomery.

Got a lot of old backlogged stuff, huh? Either that, or your buddy didn't get into the Army.

@TheElevatorChannel I take it Alex didn't go through with the Army thing. They won't allow hair like that. :)

Shamed they locked the upper florrs.

For 10+ floors, do those vintage elevators travel 350 FPM? Geared traction perhaps?

we're these manually controlled

EPIC call button, but in the inside, not so epic.

They said the guestrooms in the Muehlebach are out of use which is not true. They should ask for someone professionally works in the Marriott Downtown to give them the proper tour instead of them running around and making arbitrary erroneous remarks on video about the hotel.

What Fixtures are those?
