With the tight triangular site, it's not ideal for hotel. I think Hines realized this and traded the hotel tower for a few additional stories on the office tower.
Really the restaurant pavilion is probably the most realistic use.
However, I'm confident that the parking lot at Canal and Fulton will get developed with a highrise sometime in the next 5-6 years which will close the visual gap you see from Wacker. That site has access to river views over the top of the River Point restaurant and some pretty nice westward views as well.
