Summit One Vanderbilt

Summit One Vanderbilt is one of New York’s most exciting new attractions, a multi-sensory observation deck high above Midtown Manhattan.

Set atop the tallest commercial skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, Summit One Vanderbilt is an observatory high above Grand Central Terminal with five multi-sensory experiences occupying the top three floors of the building.

Highlights include a spectacular mirrored space spread over two floors, floating orbs that change colour in tune with a light show at night, and transparent glass enclosed ledges offering sweeping views of the city over 1,000 feet from the city streets below. Entry is through the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal.

Designed by Kenzo Digital, floors 91 and 92 offer the experience Transcendence, as every surface is mirrored to allow the stunning view to be reflected into the space. Affinity is a room full of floating orbs which at night change colour in tune with a light-show, while Levitation offers two transparent ledges to step onto high above Madison Avenue. The Gallery area displays art installations, and Unity uses technology to make guests part of the exhibition.
