Was this observation deck on the top floor? If so, those pics could very well have been taken from my current office. Some more great photos can be found here.

Apparently the hotel was built as a joint venture between Sheraton and Four Seasons and was named the "Four Seasons Sheraton Hotel." Four Seasons sold their share in '76.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people who were around then are still hardwired to think of it as the "Four Seasons Sheraton", maybe not to the degree that the Park Hyatt will eternally be the Park Plaza, but...
(Maybe more comparable to those who still think of the present Four Seasons as the Hyatt Regency.)
I was up there a few times when I was a kid before and during the CN tower build and remember the aviary well, it ran all around the interior of the observation level. One visit we got stuck in one of those huge elevators. A few years earlier I had seen one of those ABC/NBC "movie of the week" cheapo, made-for-TV disaster films about a group who gets stuck in an elevator that gets closer and closer to plunging down dozens of floors. I was scared to death when we got stuck in that elevator!
