however, in all those towers, there is significant unoccupied space at the top of them, so the tallest hotel room in the city that you can actually book might still be in the chicago marriott or swisshotel.

FWIW, a couple of years ago (ha!) I interviewed with an architect that had his offices at the very top floor of the C&C... not sure if that made it into a suite or not... you did have to take another stair up after getting off of the elevator...
I had a connection with the Mather as well... an old boyfriend worked for another architect that had her offices at the top of that tower... same thing, you had to take a separate stair to reach the offices...
regardless, both of those spaces were surprisingly close to to the crowns...
