There are two large beautiful octagonal scenic elevators/lifts here. This atrium is probably the best in Finland - it looks very American. The greenery is probably real, too, since it is possible to water the plants. This hotel is really nice and not too expensive! It was completed in 1988.

Location: Hilton Hotel Helsinki Strand, Helsinki, Finland
Brand: KONE
Type: Traction
Year installed: Late 1986 (this corresponds to the serial number) - completed in 1988
Year updated: Early 2003 (90's style fixtures - simply spectacular) - the Hotel became a Hilton Hotel
Floors served: 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
Note: A key card is needed to go to floors 3-8. The only drawback is the fact that they do not go down to the parking lot on floors -1 and -2, and there are no extra lifts/elevators, only 2 staff elevators/lifts but they cannot be used by hotel guests. 
Pictures are not available. I should have taken another video, too, late in the evening, but I didn't have time
