FAMOUS Otis High-Speed Elevators at Marriott Marquis in Downtown Atlanta, GA.

Video Recorded on June 1, 2023: In honor of Andrew Reams (‪@DieselDucy‬) marking his 46th birthday, here we come to the most iconic destination where the nature of elevator photography first developed. Technically, the Hilton was the actual place where Andrew took his very ever first elevator video which is the development of elevator photography, making this an iconic hobby that a lot of us all love! Well not everyone does needless to say, but that's a topic to save for another day. But anyways, I made a brief pitstop here for a revisit of these famous elevators that I haven't been back since 2015 I think, though I did stop in Atlanta in 2021 at one point when I met Eric (‪@ericsturniolo‬) but didn't come here technically. This time, I figured why I get a bit of a detailed video of these iconic elevators that were overfilmed severely and also featured in a National Geographic magazine. Installed in 1985, modernized in 2015.

[@ElevatingEasternMichigan]

Definitely my first stop

[@serbianelevators]

How did they look like before the mod?

[@JimLiElevators]

These used to have the older Otis Series 1 if you watch the videos from before the mod, there are plenty.

[@DuckDoesStuff_KY]

Do you have to stay at this hotel to ride the elevators? I’m going to Atlanta very soon so I would like to go here

[@JimLiElevators]

No, we stopped here on the way to North Carolina.

[@DuckDoesStuff_KY]

@@JimLiElevators heck yes, thank you so much

[@elevatorgaming6712]

Now you do. These are SMART key carded, so even guests are restricted.

[@elevatorsincity]

Are there going to be smart key carded because that reader looks like it smart keyed?

[@JimLiElevators]

I don’t know what kind of key card device is that, but all I know is that you can still ride to the top.

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

​​@@JimLiElevatorsThere was a recent video of thesee filmed a few weeks ago and it showed that they are not locked yet. I followed this place on Facebook and Instagram. So I can ask them in a message.

[@elevcarwashsirensandmore21]

Possibly. Others have said they don't intend to key card them.
