This lift/elevator is locked. It is located in the newer part of the luxury hotel, built originally in 1969 as a bank headquarters and rebuilt in 1999 into a hotel, but the elevator/lift was modernized in the early 1990's.

Here are the links to the main lifts, and the hotel room tour:

Location: Hotel Kämp, Helsinki, Finland
Brand: KONE
Type: Traction
Year installed: 1968-69
Year modernized: 1991-92 (estimated)
Floors served: 10 (AK, YK, *1*, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Note: STAFF ONLY. Unfortunately, it was locked, too, even though I used the key card.
 
There is a single OTIS F2000 lift/elevator, which goes down to the parking lot on the basement floors, but I couldn't reach it since it would have been very embarrassing to go behind the reception desk on the Ground floor, to reach it. 

It was first built in 1887, then demolished in 1965 to make room for a new building, and then completely rebuilt into a hotel again, in 1996 - 99, and opened in May 1999.
