Awesome 1988 KONE TMS elevators with M-Series fixtures - Historical 'Sovietsky' Hotel, Moscow, RU
Filming date: 05.06.2022
Yesterday I managed to film at the location, which I, probably, most wanted to. It is legendary 'Sovietskiy' Hotel, which was built in 1951 by order of Joseph Stalin. It's also interesting that his son, Vasily Stalin, lived in this hotel for many years.
At the beginning of the video you can see, how the hotel looks like, its exterior and interior are designed perfectly. There are four floors with about 5-6m ceiling, that's insane. Each floor has its own style and the elements are unique.
Now the hotel has two awesome 34-year old KONE M-Series elevators, which were installed in 1988. Honestly, I don't know, what lifts were here from 1951 to 1988 or maybe there weren't any. Anyways, let's proceed to our KONEs: they have nice wooden design, interesting ceiling and M-Series fixtures, indicator has both red and white segments. They have also a nice feature, that one of two elevators, when it is not in use, always stands on the first floor with opened doors, although there are definitely not many visitors in the hotel.
Anyways, the experience of visiting this hotel was totally great. I like such old KONEs and I hope to check them more during my trip.
