Perhaps one way around the shifting, door/window problem would be to have the upper suites rotatable (the suites may be designed to entertain rich buyers who visit the city and they might like to have a room they can move around to catch different views.
The two interior doors could then line up (according to where they turn) with two completely different exterior doors (much like a fit with a door at both ends, someone pushing the door button on one side would automatically rotate the room in a gentle fashion so it lined up with the door on the inside).
We could see the top of the building begin to rotate and a shutter come down and then Han comes in from one door (setting up the rotating possibility of the room) and when Chewie and Lando come in it wouldn't matter if the doors were not right because the room has rotated without the audience seeing it because the shutter is down.
Some of the design suggestions above could fit into this idea as the look small enough to be rotatable modules.
It also would explain the changing lighting. Wow. I'm impressed!
There are lots of real world examples like the GPO Tower and the Toronto Tower naturally this being the Star Wars universe where doors slam at near supersonic speeds there would have to be some kind of advanced technology to stop everyone in the room getting sick and the furniture from falling all over the place (the room is relatively small and even a gentle rotation would have to faster than most of those towers to be noticable on the outside) but Star Wars isn't science fiction it's space fantasy so I can live with that.
Here's a home that does the opposite, one window but at the push of a button you can have a bath looking out of it, go to sleep looking out of it or sit on a nice sofa looking out of it (it better be a good view) :
