Yes there are Hotels with a  thirteenth.  But the odds are you will miss it.
Less than 20% of tall buildings boast a thirteenth.
A couple that turn up quite often:
The Belvedere at Baltimore;
the Biltmore at Coral Gables; the latter notable for the Everglades Suite,
which goes by the popular label, Al Capone's Suite.
