That's what I was thinking. The only high rise of that color in downtown that has a column on the corner of the building with a balcony, so that you can see through it, is 823 Congress. So then you've got to go looking around 823 Congress within a block or so to look for buildings with skylights.
I was also considering the angles. Whatever building they're in, if that is indeed 823 Congress in the background, and I think it is, then it's probably on the same block that 823 Congress is. There's one building on Congress near there with skylights, but it's across the street and diagonal to 823 Congress, and while it has those vaulted skylights like this one, the angle is wrong because from that angle you wouldn't see any sunlight coming through the corner of 823 Congress because you'd be looking almost dead on at the corner. That address is 710 Congress.
I don't think it's north of 823 Congress either because that would put the building to the left of the frame, where as in the screenshot, it's on the right.
I think the photo was taken south of 823 Congress on the same block. My best guess would be one of the old 2 and 3-story brick/stone buildings on Congress in the 801 block (east side of Congress).
This 3-story building on the corner at 801 Congress, it doesn't have a skylight, though, I suppose it might have had at one time. I'm thinking the photo was taken in one of the other buildings on the block - north of it, between it and 823 Congress. None of those buildings currently have skylights, but two of them have had major renovations done since the 1980s. Two of them even had 3rd floors added in the last decade. Those two buildings today are retail on the ground floor I believe, and there is residential space on the upper floor(s).

I would check each of these buildings. There are no skylights in them, but I believe this is where the photo was taken, in one of these.
I used Google Earth to "hover" over those buildings and look up at 823 Congress. The movie screenshot also shows what appears to be a pretty small space. I don't get the feeling that it is a hotel lobby. They seem to be in a pretty small room. I don't think it's farther south of here either, because south of gere is the State and Paramount Theatres, and obviously neither of them have skylights. And it can't be southeast of there either, because taller buildings would block the view.
