There was a very cool elevator in the hotel we stayed in when we visited New York City.
You entered the floor you wanted to go to on a key pad outside the elevators, it told you which elevator (A-N) would be going to your floor, and then you got on that elevator. Our room was on the 43rd floor, if I remember correctly. The check in desk was on the 7th floor and the concierge lounge was on the 30th floor, so that would have been a lot of stairs.
