I quite like the Chestnut Residence building at Chestnut & Armoury

The old Holiday Inn. I believe they had a revolving restaurant on the top floor. I know my parents ate there in the 70s. I was there in 90s when it was the Colony Hotel. Back then the restaurant was gone and turned into a wedding venue/event space. I was at a wedding there when i was a kid.

Sad to see so many roof top restaurants are gone in hotels these days. My dad back in the day would entertain clients at the various rooftop bars and restaurants at the hotels. I think his fave was the old Regal constellation hotel rooftop bar out by the airport. Good place for plane watching.

It's also worth noting that like the Sheraton Centre, the Holiday Inn was designed in accordance with New City Hall's urban precepts, elevated-walkway connection and all. (I suspect that if Bell Trinity Square were built a decade earlier, it, too, would have had some kind of provision for an overhead connection)
