These elevators are a bit of a mystery. The layout of the elevator bank itself is similar to the DoubleTree Financial District and the Element by Westin nearby, both of which have Fujitec elevators. This hotel’s building is also strange, as it contains 4 hotel brands in one building, this, a Staybridge Suites, a Four Points by Sheraton, and the “Distrikt Hotel”. There is a building just like this one block south, but with 3 hotel brands in one building. It’s also 32 floors like this one, and they have confirmed Fujitec elevators. The one big difference here (besides the cabs and layout) is that these have Monitor TR fixtures, and the confirmed Fujitecs have EPCO/Adams Survivor Plus, and the Fujitecs at the DoubleTree Financial District and the Element by Westin also have Survivor Plus. These are also strangely bottom-drive traction according to NYC Buildings records, but I haven’t seen any bottom-drive traction elevators that go this high, so I’m not too sure about that. Plus, bottom-drive traction isn’t really common in newer elevator systems, and this building is only a few years old, as well as the elevators. According to NYC Buildings, Fujitec has done no inspections on these elevators, and I’ve never seen them install bottom-drive traction, but I’m still leaning towards them as the installers of these. Now, on from the brand mystery. These elevators are pretty nice, and for whatever reason, the car on the left has a cab with mirrors on the walls, but the other ones …

New York, NY - On Thursday, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) called on New York City hotels to refuse to host Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during this year’s United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2011. This is the third consecutive year that UANI is leading its Hotels Campaign. In previous years, UANI and its supporters have pressured multiple hotels to deny accommodations to Ahmadinejad and his delegation. In separate letters to dozens of New York hotels, UANI President, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, wrote: President Ahmadinejad is the leader of a criminal regime that flouts international law by pursuing an illegal nuclear weapons program, sponsoring terrorism, and abusing its own citizens. We strongly believe that no American-based venue should host this man. We are calling on you and all other New York-area venues to help isolate and condemn the Iranian regime by refusing to host President Ahmadinejad and his cohorts… It is also worth recalling that in his speech before the General Assembly last year, Ahmadinejad despicably claimed that the US orchestrated the September 11 terrorist attacks against its own citizens… With the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaching this September and in light of previously undisclosed information regarding the Iranian regime’s complicity in the 9/11 attacks (The New York Times. “Court Filings Assert Iran Had Link to 9/11 Attacks,” May 20, 2011), New Yorkers, and by extension all Americans, will not tolerate …
