This video made me laugh so much - how much you were surprised that it was a Westinghouse, gluse saying 'listen to Andrew mum!' Added to my favorites!

[@Dana_Danarosana]

You know, that service elevator with the 2-speed doors might have been actually working. It might have been locked at a floor by maintenance personnel to move or work on something.

[@darksidehero]

I use to work at this hotel when it was called Adam's Mark. the hotel was still under renovation at the time but I loved eating my lunch on the helicopter pad of the central tower. I was told by my friend who still works there that it's impossible to get up there now.

[@emmareporter4324]

love the shade he threw at his mom 😂

[@ScottySullivanYT]

These elevators have a lot of character, and the 40th floor looks awesome. My kind of place. I wish I could come here!

[@feppelevator]

Awesome video Andrew :D

[@HaileyJohn12]

That's cool that you got to explore the top floor of this hotel. I didn't expect there to be escalators on the top floor. Although, it's sad to see the top floor in this condition.

[@DieselDucy]

it looked like it was awesome at one time.

[@SkyvatorProductions]

I was here today. This hotel has a ton of elevators. I never knew there used to be an observation deck. The 40th floor was closed off.

[@DieselDucy]

Yeah. The hotel has changed a lot

[@cannycart]

Nice Andrew!!

[@jackx.cassway]

8:02 Alex is getting wise with his mom.

[@wndrtch]

What I've noticed about westing house is that they might add extra weight on the counter weight to go up faster

[@HaileyJohn12]

2:52 "What's that? That thing's ugly!" I laughed so hard at this part that I kept rewinding it. But I have no idea what that thing is, but it's completely rusted up.

[@DieselDucy]

LOL

[@scottgfx]

Did a search on Flickr for the Sheraton in Dallas and found some interesting images. One of the restaurants was the "Singapore Yacht Club"

[@crisgarza2016]

This building(southland life building )was the tallest building west of the Mississippi back in 1959 and I’m wondering if this was the observation deck they had back in its hey day

[@Bandbadventures22]

It was a glitch notice it wasn't chiming when it stopped on 14. The button on 40 cancelled itself out

[@bsvenadam]

In central tower elevators used to be westinghouse from 1958 and now is modernized by Montgomery Kone in 1998

[@DieselDucy]

Cool

[@bsvenadam]

This building used to be office building

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

I like these "exploring" videos

[@ScottySullivanYT]

Me too!

[@clarkloveselevators]

I've been on the 40th floor when the lights were off. Shame to find out there were escalators. :(

[@kktotheboompa]

When it opened in 1959 the Sheraton Hotel was part of the original buildings. Observation deck was located 41st floor. Adam's Mark hredeveloped all 3 towers of the complex into one large hotel in 1998. In 2007, it was sold and the new owners REflagged it as a Sheraton, returning to the shortest tower's orig name from fifty years before. I used to visit the observation deck whenever I went downtown as a kid - which was often, since that was before the days of malls.

[@mrmattandmrchay]

7:30 and 7:40 absolutely right :) These are kind of videos that I like, stuff that you don't normally see. I rarely film if other are around me as I love exploring places like this. 9:28 cool lanterns! DAMN shame this wasn't working. Strange service floor, surprised by the state of it when there are escalators going up to a public area.

[@tbirdracefan]

LOL a video about elevator rides!

[@jackx.cassway]

You made the right choice to make this a long video.

[@ElevatingBoston]

@force311999 According to the building history, this hotel was built as an office tower in 1959. It was converted to a hotel in 1998 by Adams Mark. The roof was an observation deck, not a ballroom. The office tower had a famous and exclusive restaurant on level 37. Architecturally, it's hard to devise why exactly the passenger elevators did not service 41. It may have been that the observation deck was an after-thought because 40 is clearly a MEP floor, which is usually at the top.

[@22408aaron]

Andrew, I have seen square Innovation Security on my latest video. They do not hold up well

[@talusranch990]

that beeeepin sound really gets my motor runnin

[@MyLoganm]

Please make more urban exploring videos:)

[@macstre4]

@ChrisiPodHelp101 well this video was filmed 3 months ago this it from the backlog

[@QuietSundayLibrary]

Compared to a supposed "high-profile" hotel in Latin America, this would be deemed the most impeccable of the impeccable. When you are met at the door with armed sentries (which might very well be the case in our nation if things continue down the path they're going), then we can talk about "dump(s)" and a deplorable experience. That said, I enjoyed the video. Wouldn't mind longer, extended cuts akin to this one in the future, Andrew.

[@ElevatingBoston]

@force311999 It's not under construction. It's out of use. Chances are when Adams Mark was doing the hotel conversion in 1998, they would have had to install brand new elevators to service 41 in order to fulfill ADA requirements that had been passed in 1991. The original office tower observation deck with only the escalators would have been exempt past 1991 because it was an existing structure and thus would be grandfathered in. It's hard to imagine a world before ADA requirements.

[@gabebean3070]

Love this hotel

[@hawaiiskylineandelevators4115]

Very cool! I really enjoyed watching this a lot back then when I was younger while drawing elevators lol. I wonder how this hotel is doing now. The urban explore that you guys experienced back then is really cool! The graffiti on the defunct service looks UGLY. Square innovation security fixtures seems rare to me as well

[@DieselDucy]

I have never seen it anywhere else

[@hotelmanztv]

This used to be a Adams Mark Hotel

[@gluse]

@grimreperification She didn't want to explore an abandoned floor because she may have thought that some poor person may be living up there.

[@elevatorswithESH]

Yeah those homeless people can be dangerous. That’s why I don’t go into abandoned places or vacant store spaces.

[@TheElevatorPlanet]

This actually looks like an ok Sheraton. Usually the urban Sheratons are nicer then the one's in small town.

[@tallulaaaaa]

Used to be a restaurant up there. 39 and 40 are locked out on the panel to keep guest off those floors

[@TheShortySosa]

Tallulah Lopez what are 39 and 40 for now?

[@tallulaaaaa]

Sosa. The floors to the rooftop

[@TheShortySosa]

Tallulah Lopez you've been to roof?

[@tallulaaaaa]

Sosa. Long time ago when I did security over there

[@missourielevators9252]

if that service elevator gets fixed i would ride it my self just for the fun of it and if those escalators get turned on i think about riding them if their still turned off i won't even bother messing with them

[@TheElevatorPlanet]

There probably using the resturant as a storage space..

[@ElevatingBoston]

It looks like 40 is/was a MEP floor with a small corridor (now removed) that led to the escalators to bring you up to the ballroom on 41. It's too bad it's all defunct now. It was probably beautiful in its day. I also don't understand you calling the Sheraton a dump. They are equally in the ranks with the Marriott and Westin (also a Starwood brand) brand, having similar furnishings, amenities and room rates.

[@Ih8kone]

Sheraton is NOT high quality.

[@OPG2711]

39 and 40 are now locked.

[@ElevatingNoCo]

I tried to do an elevator video at my church, but just as the doors were closing, some dude walked in and said that i can't ride the elevator or he'll call the cops. Point being, some folks have no sense of adventure

[@gluse]

@Qualenhof My mom did not want to be up on that abandoned floor. She was thinking we would get in big trouble

[@Ih8kone]

I don't blame her. Urbexing is (can be) a dangerous activity.

[@HaileyJohn12]

I can understand why. I would probably be afraid to go to areas like this too unless I got permission to do so.

[@thor3d29]

I think its locked on 40th floor

@CommandComps I believe thats Gluse's Mother

[@ElevatorDude]

Installed in 1955-1958, modernized in 1990s.

[@missourielevators9252]

Why is the service elevator broken and how come the escalators are turned off they sohuld be turned on i would not ride those escalators if the people there are going to keep them turned off i will NEVER talk to any of them ever they need to turn on those escalators and leave them on and they need to start taking better care oof that service elevator you wanted to ride that was E-P-I-C fail same thing with the escalators.

[@SamSitar]

then how do you reach 41?

this area was not closed off, If they did not want people up there, they had the ability to close off the floor.
