	I don't think there is a Hilton downtown. The downtown Hyatt used
 to have a revolving restaurant.  Thirty years ago there was a great view
 from there, but downtown grew around it so now there are obstructed views
 in many directions. Last thing I heard (10 years ago), it was the 
 Spindletop Lounge, but they did serve some food. I haven't been there
 in a long time, so I don't know what it is now.  

	There is a revolving restaurant at the "Bush" Airport Marriot (at 
 least Bush is easier to type than Intercontinental), but that's a ways
 from Downtown. 
	
	There's also Shanghai Red's, not too far from Downtown. It doesn't
 revolve, but you get a great view of the ship channel traffic revolving 
 around you.
