4x Mitsubishi Tower A High Zone Elevators @ JW Marriott Marquis Dubai*****, Za'abeel, Dubai, UAE

This video features the set of four high-rise guest elevators in Tower A of the hotel. Just like the low-rise group of elevators, it consisted of three panoramic cars and one internal car, though the scenic cars faced north towards Sheikh Zayed Road (which seemed rather empty due to relative lack of high-rises in the immediate vicinity in that direction) and the sea beyond. In terms of fixtures and cab dimensions, they were virtually identical to the low-rise bank. Despite traveling about twice as high, the scenic cars were of the same speed as the low-rise elevators, making them quite slow for such a height. The sole internal car did run a notch faster thant the scenic ones, but it had a somewhat strange behavior; when it went to any floors above the 36th, it would make a brief stop without opening the doors on floor 36 before continuing its way up, and a similar thing would happen during the down trip (watch from 08:36 for this). While this behavior was certainly pre-programmed, perhaps to make up for the speed difference with the scenic elevators, this resulted in diminished efficiency of the elevators overall. While the ride quality was also overall quite good, a couple of the scenic cars were beginning to show their age, with obvious creaking and shaking observed when traveling through higher floors.

This is NexWay High Speed, not GPM-4H as that model is only available in South Korea

I noticed something in the internal elevators. Between G - 36 it runs quite smoothly (judging by the sound). But between 36 - 68 it runs less smoother and rather rough (also judging by the sound). Idk if that has anything to do with the stopping at 36th floor. I never stayed at that hotel so... idk. I never been to Dubai before. But planned to go there.

[@markselevatorsandetc.937]

I suppose that such difference is due to the presence of shaft doors with their equipment on 36 to 68, while ground to 36 is mostly a blind shaft (save for occasional emergency rescue doors, if there're any), though I felt that the ride quality in both sections was quite similar. Also I highly suggest visiting Dubai at least once, once you've got time and means to do so; an elevator enthusiast is unlikely to go bored there. This typical hotel, I felt, has good value for money, especially during the summer (provided you can withstand heat of 40+ degrees)...

Nice video! Please make video of Xizi Otis skyrise at gevora hotel dubai :)

[@markselevatorsandetc.937]

I actually tried filming there, but they were extremely crowded on the day I visited, and eventually had to give up after multiple attempts. I'm not in Dubai right now, but will actually be there again next month during a short stopover; I'll see if I can film there then.

@@markselevatorsandetc.937 thanks for the reply! Indeed its extremely hard to record the elevators there. I stayed at the Gevora Hotel and it took me days to record it properly and upload, because every time there were many people But they are very nice Xizi Otis Skyrise 7 m/s :)

[@ZRHTrainspotter]

@@markselevatorsandetc.937 Also, an information regarding the elevators at Gevora Hotel. There are 3 types of Elevators. All are Xizi OTIS Skyrise, but serve different floors. 3 elevators serve all floors from 0 to 41, they go 5 m/s. 2 elevators serve floors 0, M, 12, 41-74, they go an impressive 7 m/s. 1 is a service elevator. I did not manage to ride it, but it serves all floors from -3 to 74. Its extremely busy though.
