SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was definitely one of the highlights of my New York trip! The experience is unlike a typical observation deck — from the moment you step inside, everything feels immersive, modern, and beautifully designed. The views of Manhattan are absolutely incredible, especially with the floor-to-ceiling glass windows giving you a completely unobstructed view of the city. The mirrored rooms were my favorite part, with reflections of the skyline creating some really fun and unique photo opportunities. ✨🏙️ I also loved how there were different spaces and levels to explore, so it didn’t feel like you were simply going up to a viewpoint and leaving. Every room had something different to see, and the combination of art, mirrors, glass, and the NYC skyline made the whole experience feel surreal. I’d recommend going around sunset if you can — watching the city transform from daylight to sparkling night views was beautiful. Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you’ll be walking around quite a bit, and bring sunglasses because some of the mirrored spaces can get surprisingly bright! Overall, such a fun experience and one I’d definitely recommend if you’re visiting New York for the first time.

Our first visit to New York City was absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded all of our expectations. Seeing the city at night-the glitz, the endless lights, and the vibrant energy-was truly magical, that's because of this experience tru SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. It was a sight to behold, and we couldnt have asked for a better introduction to the Big Apple. A seamless, perfect adventure that we'll never forget. Highly recommended!

Our recent visit to Summit in NYC was absolutely spectacular! The experience of seeing the breathtaking Manhattan skyline and iconic attractions from the 93rd floor was truly unforgettable. The stunning views, incredible design, and immersive experience make Summit a remarkable destination. Everything about the experience was beautifully curated and exceeded our expectations. A huge applause to the entire Summit team for creating such an amazing attraction!

Spectacular views - 3 floors, which was awesome. Loved the entire thing, would highly recommend. 9.30pm slot - crowded, but handled well by the staff. We REALLY didn't like the staff loudly shouting 10 reminders that they were closing soon, immediately after we arrived, for a whole 10mins, this really ruined the initial experience, leaving us feeling rushed, when we'd literally just arrived.

Our New York trip was overall a wonderful experience, but Vanderbilt was definitely the highlight. It was so much fun, with breathtaking views of the Empire State Building and the rivers. The different interactive zones were incredibly creative and engaging, making the entire experience truly memorable. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend it!

What to expect

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

Begin your visit inside Air by Kenzo Digital, a multi-sensory mirrored space where the skyline becomes more than a backdrop, it becomes part of the art. Reflections stretch infinitely in all directions, challenging your perception of space, time, and self.

This isn’t just an observation deck, it’s a living, breathing fusion of design and cityscape that transforms how you see New York and how you see yourself within it.

Features:

Discover Air, a mirrored installation that reimagines the skyline as a surreal, interactive environment.

Feel a deeper connection to NYC as art and architecture merge in a space designed to elevate the senses.

Capture unforgettable visuals where your reflection and the city blur into one expansive canvas.

Immerse yourself in an experience that encourages introspection, curiosity, and awe.

Step outside to take in open-air views from SUMMIT’s outdoor terrace, or head to Après, the sky-high lounge where handcrafted cocktails and skyline views offer a serene finish. Whether you're here for the art, the views, or the thrill, SUMMIT redefines what it means to experience New York City from above.
