There's really only one hidden place that I'm aware of, and that is the so-called "Ghost Town." And yes, I've been there and can prove it:

That is the Ghost Town. You can't land in it at all; it's just used by the game engine for the beginning cutscene.

Short story: There is no observatory.

It was apparently left out of the game, like the ability to fly a helicopter. The code for helicopter flight was included in GTA3, but they never went through with the idea--though it is in Vice City.
Then why can you see it?

EDIT: What I mean by that, is that the observatory *is* there, but can you get to it?

Damn, that sucks, I really wanted to get up to it. That terrain can be pretty treacherous, I took 80 points of damage from a fall in the game.
