I am not sure it can be opened to alleviate the temperature issue. Other challenges include a narrow staircase leading to the upper level which is not so easy to climb if you are bringing your suitcase. Also, my upper bathroom only had a bathtub with no shower capability - the walls were to slanted to allow for you to stand up in the bath.
I am now staying in a different duplex suite - 606. This one has the roof windows which can be opened. This allows for much better temperature control. Also the bathtub upstairs has more headspace, so you can more or less shower in the upstairs tub. The staircase going up to the second floor seems to also be wider and easier to climb with a suitcase.
