Glass Westinghouse Hydraulic Elevator at the Hilton Palacio del Rio in San Antonio, TX

(December 2023) I've wanted to ride this elevator for quite some time now and I finally had the opportunity to! This is the old Westinghouse service elevator that is on the outside of the Hilton Palacio del Rio in San Antonio. It has type A buttons. I really like the custom text in the buttons: "River Walk", "Inter", and "Street".

Beautiful view! Glad this thing is still going. Even with elevators, they don't make things like they used to!

[@Jowevator3219]

This one is pretty neat!

[@chasem8491]

This one has got to be at least 99% original!

[@stlelevators]

For now....

[@Txdcblues]

I wonder where the panel is now…

[@evana6425]

Fantastic no words to describe how beautiful these are but the bouncing is very scary

[@stlelevators]

Typical bouncy Westinghouse

[@statecollegewx4060]

Typical Westinghouse

I LOVE this. Type A on a hydraulic is pretty rare! Just sucks this is so bouncy (Westy is to me what Monty is to Justin.)

[@stlelevators]

Westinghouse elevators are bouncy in general

[@railroadenthusiast6246]

Looks like it was low on oil because it started slowing down and then started bouncing around because of the low level of fluid stay safe

[@stlelevators]

I didn’t notice it much

[@stateofeastdakotatours6662]

elevator woke up and chose roller coaster mode

[@stlelevators]
