From that list I like Hong Kong's Hopewell centre, the Marriot Renaissance in Detroit, and Westin Peachtree Atlanta. There must be more in the world but I can't think of any at the moment though.

A cylindrical skyscraper is basically defined as having the same floorplate from the base of the tower to the top. |

I nominate the Westin Peachtree. It holds a special place in my heart.
1. Westin Peachtree Plaza - Atlanta 2. Marina Towers - Chicago 3. Main Tower - Frankfurt...if that counts. |
