Elevators at the Corinthia Hotel

I love the elevators at this hotel. When you come up to the elevator door, you simply place your key card on the reader. Immediately the two public floors and your own floor appear as options. You press the number of the floor you want, walk into the elevator car, and the elevator takes you to your floor. There is a computer that determines which elevator car is closest to you and on the display appear the letters ABC or D. This indicates which elevator car is coming to you next. The system makes it very convenient for you to get to your own floor, to the lobby, or to the public meeting rooms. However, it prevents people from going to the wrong floor, or to some floor other than their own. There is a little icon at the bottom of the display that will bring up a virtual keypad. If you need to go to some room other than your own you can type it in. But ordinarily your key card simply takes you to your floor and brings the closest available elevator car to you quickly. It took a little bit of learning, but I love the system. So easy, even a child can do it—with a couple of days of practice.Читать далее
