1985 KONE & 1978 TS-Schlieren (mod) high-rise elevators @ Hotel Comwell Hvide Hus, Aalborg, Denmark

Welcome to Hotel**** Comwell Hvide Hus in Aalborg, Denmark. The most iconic hotel in town!
Big thanks to the reception and kitchen staff for allowing me to document these AMAZING elevators!

History of the building
1968
• The building opens with a total of seven elevators from Danish Siemens. A set of two passenger elevators, one express passenger elevator that goes directly from Hall to the Restaurant on floor 15, plus one service elevator and three dumbwaiters for staff.
1978
• The hotel adds two additional scenic elevators to the buildings north end facing the city, a set of two Schlieren elevators delivered by Thomas Scmidt. They serve all floors from Hall to floor 15, Scenic elevators that high are to my knowledge the first of their kind to be installed in Denmark.
1985
• All of the four Siemens person-elevators are completely replaced by state-of-the-art KONE elevators, though with the classic white fixtures. The three dumbwaiters are not touched.
Late 1990s*
• Stricter laws requires that inner doors are installed in the single service elevator.
2003*
• The two scenic elevators and the single service elevator with manual doors are heavily refurbished by KONE with K-Delta fixtures. Possibly this was also the year when the doorbumpers were replaced with sensors in the 1985 KONE passenger elevators
2016*
• The three aging KONE passenger elevators from 1985 are completely replaced with new KONE.
