  • Why nighttime at SUMMIT shines brighter?

    Begin your experience at the base of the iconic One Vanderbilt skyscraper, steps away from Grand Central Terminal. After a swift security screening, board the elevator for a 42-second ascent to the summit, where glass walls reveal panoramic views of Midtown Manhattan. As night falls over New York City, the skyline transforms into a vibrant mosaic of lights. From SUMMIT’s elevated vantage point, landmarks like the Chrysler Building and iconic sites like Times Square, Bryant Park, and the Statue of Liberty stand out in sharp relief, illuminated by thousands of lights.

    Immersive art in the sky

    Step into the surreal, three-level immersive space designed to heighten all senses. Feel suspended in infinity inside AIR, a shimmering world of mirrors by Kenzo Digital. Tiptoe over glass in Levitation, transparent skyboxes jutting out over 1,000 feet above Madison Avenue, making for mind-bending photo ops. Encounter the whimsical brilliance of Yayoi Kusama’s Cloud, a polka-dotted dreamscape that pops against the starlit skyline. Explore Reflect and Affinity, where mirrored rooms and floating orbs shimmer in the soft city glow. End the night at Après, a stylish indoor lounge where handcrafted cocktails and sweeping skyline views offer the perfect nightcap to an evening above the clouds.
