1990s Schindler lifts in hotel (16 floors)

These are some quite rare Schindler lifts in the hotel I was staying in.

Typical older generation Schindler fast doors with the nice 'dong-dong' arrival chimes.

These are quite fast and interesting (hence the upload!)

Don't forget to see my other video, as there are some OLD 1970s OTIS lifts behind these ones, for the service staff - of course I checked them out!! :D

I am regularly in Switzerland for work and see these everywhere in hotels

Ive always liked schindler they always made very nice well built stuff even what they make today looks really nice

3:25 Meanwhile my country has some 47-storey public housing apartment blocks (8 units per floor) that're each served by 4 lifts serving all floors. With a rooftop garden, they attract many visitors when fireworks are set off to celebrate the new year, leading to ~1h queues for the lifts for residents returning home though

Very nice Schindler S-Series elevator 👍

My understanding is that that in some hotels it is common to miss out room 13's and floor 13's due to them historically being seen as bad luck, however i suspect modern hotels simply do this because of tradition.

They're indeed rare: Only 3 in Toulouse (France) up to this day with two of them that are hydraulic and only one that is traction.
The trouble is that both hydraulics have a keypad inside the car that locks all floors and the traction one is not really accessible to the public. ):
(Oh I forgot to mention that one of the hydraulics and the traction don't even have shaft lights !)

Fyi, these Schindler S-Series push buttons uses microswitch (hence the click) made by Saia Burgess, a Swiss electronics company.

what's the point for the intermediate indicator for the ground and top floor is only one arrow is used

[Knaeckebrotsaege]

There's one of these in a way more basic form (no chimes, only 2 floors, basic cabin) near where I live (Germany) in a medical center that was remodeled in the early 90s. The whole building has had some remodeling done fairly recently, but they left the lift untouched other than a new door frame I think. Seems to be pretty reliable. What's so special about these or are they just rare? (and if so why.. too expensive back then?)

0:40 I didnt know that one on the left had a telescoping door on it it looked like the middle one with the center open system

[ElevatingEurope]

It misses out floor 13! Typical American floor numbering system.

[europaman]

Where about's are these lifts? They have alot of character.

[ostkkfmhtsh]

I Like these fixtures! :D (DesignS and D-Line)

[ariarjuna]

why most S series has a m-line or a d-line fixtures at the main lobby level

[NingSamaElevatorManiac]

I think Schindler with S-Series fixtures are rare in the world with an exception of Bangkok, Thailand. S-Series here are installed around 10-20 places. Any place like this?

[KOYOelevatorfan]

i''m filmed at the scandic hotel in berlin and the rembrandt hotel in london

[elevatorfilmersg]

So these must have replaced some older lifts from the 70s right?

[idlk_elev]

These Schindler lifts are the "designS" model from the mid-1980s. Are these lifts modernized back then?

where the city of the country where the address is to be called Hotel
