Historic Otis Series 2 High Speed Elevators at Drury Plaza Hotel in San Antonio, TX

Taken August 24, 2013: These are one of the AWESOMEST elevators in San Antonio, TX.!!! :D :D Sad thing is you need your key-card reader to ride but at least there was people using it. Also, thanks to the hotel staff members for letting me check out this beauty!:) I did have a video of the service elevator which it's completely original but it is sadly not in used anymore. You will see that in my next upload and you will know what I mean. Awesome elevator and awesome music's inside.

Im better the key card reader being on the main floors than inside the elevator. Because if i stay somewhere else. Then I can elevators from the top as i film them if I stay in a different hotel

Hi Jim nice Lifts/Elevators and nice Hotel from New Zealand

[@NathanCE]

Also the elevators at the William Penn Hotel in downtown pittsburgh are very similar to this :D
They're Old Otis Modded by Otis, they serve 23 floors as well! There are 2 banks, One has Epco buttons and one has OTIS series 4 buttons(?). The elevators are VERY FAST! And they have a manually controlled service elevator! But most of them got modded with innovaton security, there is one with amazing old buttons, but it has been decommissioned.
You should fly down to Pittsburgh sometime and check them out!

Sadly, I do not think I’ll be going to Pittsburgh anytime soon.

ANB stands for Alamo National Bank the former name of this building also the San Fernando Tower has Kone Ecosisc the hotel was also full of viewing balconies I loved this hotel and for the river walk their prices are very reasonable. The door with a handle was a service area the car was removed actually saw it opened at one time

+technicalboy “techgeek5000” 3000 one thing to note about series 7 it comes in blue, white and green. BUT GREEN IS FOR MODS ONLY!!!

[@FloridianElevators]

For OTIS series 7 it comes in BLUE and WHITE for pure installations and mods. But Green OTIS series 7 is used on mods only.

[@FloridianElevators]

By pure installs I mean new installations.

the call station on floor 1 is key-carded off

Jim I rode the Otis series 7 at a clinc if you forgot

[@JimLiElevators]

Series 7 is actually a false term for the new Otis. Where was it at & what kind of panel does it have? Flush mount or surface mount?

Old modded elevators always have that "look" to them :D
