As far as ceiling height, I don't think it makes sense for tall ceilings for the hotel part of the building. Does anyone really look into that before booking a room? For the apartment side, I think higher ceilings would help but also also think the poor views are going to cap rental rates anyway. My guess is they'll go with 8-6 to 9-6 just like coast/aqua/340otp and their other buildings in LSE.
For the building design, I think a split tower look like 600 lake shore would be the best idea with the hotel entrance on Columbus and the apt entrance on lower Columbus and/or the circle below. Then they can share a pool/other amenities in the middle.

It sounds as if you're equating view with location. There is obviously much, much more to a location than the views it offers. TUP is right - this is a stellar location all-around.
