Nice Old modernized fast KONE Traction Elevators/Lifts at Crowne Plaza Hotel Helsinki, Finland

There are 3 fast and efficient hotel elevators here, and 3 staff elevators (of which 2 are small ones, and 1 is a big freight elevator - also modernized in 2004). Location: Crowne Plaza Hotel Helsinki (Former Hesperia Hotel), Helsinki, Finland Brand: KONE Type: Traction Year installed/modernized: Late 1971 (Completed in 1972) / Late 2004 Floors served: 10 (YK, *1*, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) Note: The hotel was originally called the Hesperia Helsinki Hotel, and it was opened in May 1972. In 1985, it was partly rebuilt, and until its closure in 2004, it also belonged to the Radisson SAS (Radisson BLU) hotel chain. In January 2005, after an extensive renovation of the hotel rooms, elevators, the restaurant and the conference facilities, the hotel was opened again as the Crowne Plaza Hotel Helsinki. A new swimming hall also opened in early 2005, including a fitness center (which was rebuilt from the former nightclub). Unfortunately, the staff didn't let us ride the staff elevators/lifts there.
