[BEFORE & AFTER] Glass Scenic Lifts - Baia Lara Hotel In Antalya, Türkiye

These are one of the main glass scenic lifts in this hotel even though the view overlooking Antalya is rubbish. There is another set of main lifts on the other side, but they were identical so I didn’t film them. I managed to sneak into this hotel as security was talking to someone when I was walking in

Only 1 of the lifts has been replaced and 2 of the lifts are original, but when the replacement was completed in 2020? They decided to not replace the remaining ones since then, so these are now no longer a set of 3. The main lifts on the other of the hotel was exactly the same situation (1 is replaced and 2 is original)

BEFORE:
The lifts here are Kone EcoDisc’s with Asian style buttons, indicators & chimes. They also have an interesting curved (floor to ceiling) glass at the back of the lift car. These are really nice and efficient which is what you expect from Kone and they run at 1.6 m/s

After:
One of the lifts has now been replaced by a Turkish generic. For some stupid reason, they decided to replace the lift car with a very bog standard car which is nothing special, they reduced the capacity from 1000kg, to 800kg, they now have very long delays when stopping and starting & they now run only 0.75 m/s which is more that TWICE as slow as the Kone EcoDisc’s. But the only good thing about the replacement is that they have call cancellation, but other than that. This replacement is terrible
