These were featured in the movie True Lies where the bad guy on a motorcycle escapes through the elevators and Arnold Schwarzenegger gives chase by getting the other elevator with his horse.

Elevation Station Productions I'd love to ride these someday if I ever make it to LA. I've yet to have gone here, but I've been to the Westin St Francis, The Westin Peachtree Plaza, Marriott Marquis Atlanta, Hilton Atlanta, Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Hyatt Regency San Francisco, JW Marriott San Francisco, and a few other famous glass elevators

0:50 - I should say yes. Every time I visit this hotel to ride these elevators, I tremble. I think it takes guts to ride glass elevators that hoist you up at high speed.

OMG! I’ve been to the Westin Bonadventure! Those elevators are really cool. On the 34th or maybe the 35th floor (I forgot which tower), there is a lounge called The Bonavista Revolving Lounge, it’s pretty cool! You should try checking it out next time.

The hotel shape somewhat has a similar shape with Bambu Runcing Monument in my city (with the difference is, as the name suggest, "Bambu Runcing" means spiked bamboo, of course the top are not flat like this hotel). Wonder if someone build a skyscraper which is an exact replica of Bambu Runcing Monument, with one of the elevator systems similar with this hotel

How many elevators are in this building? I know of these public elevators (I think this is all of them?) The 4 banks of scenic elevators The Concord LULA elevator going to floor 34 from floor 35 (Obviously added on, do you know exactly when?) The traction elevator serving floors 1-6 The hydraulic elevator serving the basement levels (Do you know when this one was installed, who installed it, and if it is original from installation or modernized at one point?) Service elevators (there might be some I don't know about) The main service elevators A bank of 2 traction service elevators (only serving the lower floors of the hotel) A bank of 2 hydraulic service elevators (only serving the lower floors of the hotel)
@Dana_Danarosana
@Dana_Danarosana 7 лет назад
upanddownadventures Okay, you're making my poor brain do some work here... but I haven't been in the building since 2008... here's my best recollection. I believe there are a total of 23 elevators although it's certainly possibly that I've forgotten some or just don't know of some. I know of 8 service elevators. There are 4 high-speed traction cars that run the core of the center tower, 2 traction cars that are in the base, and another 2 hydraulic cars in the base. There are 15 passenger cars. There are 4 banks of 3 exterior traction cars located in the transition sections joining the 4 outer towers with the main interior tower, there is a traction passenger car that serves the base section of the building, there is a hydraulic car that serves the valet parking access, and there is a roped LULA car that travels between the revolving lounge level and the restaurant level at the top of the center tower. I purposely did not read your description/list before making my own so as not to influence my old man brain. As soon as the smoke stops coming out of my ears, I'll compare my list to yours. :-)
@Dana_Danarosana
@Dana_Danarosana 7 лет назад
upanddownadventures Everything here is Otis except for the valet parking elevator which is Amtech and the LULA at the top between the lounge and restaurant levels...
@upanddownadventures
@upanddownadventures 7 лет назад
Dana Danarosana When you say Amtech, do you mean Amtech Reliable, or Amtech Elevator Services (Amtech Reliable's current name)? Do you know who made the fixtures on the valet parking elevator? I think they are either GAL or early ERM? Are they original, or did it originally have Amtech Reliable fixtures?
@Dana_Danarosana
@Dana_Danarosana 7 лет назад
upanddownadventures Amtech Reliable... and the fixtures are GAL. They did some installs with GAL. Another one is the Cadillac Hotel in Venice Beach.
