Visiting SUMMIT One Vanderbilt was an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience! From the moment you step in, the journey is incredibly immersive, combining breathtaking views of the New York skyline with stunning architectural and mirrored installations. It truly feels like walking through a work of art suspended in the sky. The views of iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building are unparalleled. This is definitely one of the most unique observation decks I have ever visited and is well worth the ticket price. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any traveler visiting NYC—you won't regret making this a priority!

had such an amazing time at The Summit! The experience was beautiful from start to finish. I especially loved the room full of mirrors — it was breathtaking — and the balloon room, which was so much fun and made for great photos. I also loved that the tour ended with the chance to grab a drink and something to eat while enjoying the rooftop view. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a really memorable and enjoyable experience!

Everything about this hotel made my best friend and I's trip perfect! Nice trip to see Hamilton absolutely perfect the location was perfect. It's by one of the main subway entrances you need to get almost anywhere, free water bottles, comfy beds, pretty views and it's only a two minute walk to Times Square. everyone was very friendly and helpful too. I highly recommend!!!

Take NYC to new heights with this combo. While SUMMIT provides a stationary yet immersive experience with its art installations and architectural features, the helicopter tour offers a dynamic journey, capturing the city's expanse in motion.

Explore three futuristic floors at SUMMIT, including Air’s mirror illusions, Levitation’s glass ledges, and the soaring Ascent elevator.

Soar above Manhattan on a 15-min helicopter ride with live commentary by the pilot and sky-high views of popular NYC landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park & the Empire State Building.

Both experiences are an absolute dream for photos. SUMMIT’s mirrored rooms and skyboxes make for surreal, artsy shots, while the helicopter ride gives you unbeatable aerial views of NYC from above.

First time visiting New York and the view from the summit was breathtaking! The check in process was smooth, and once we made it to the part where it was time to get on the elevator, it felt like a whole different experience.
