Description

Take your New York City experience to new heights at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, a fusion of art, technology, and breathtaking views that redefines the modern observation deck. Spanning three levels of multi-sensory spaces, SUMMIT offers 360-degree views of the city and beyond, unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Step onto glass ledges suspended 1,100 feet above Madison Avenue for a heart-pounding view straight down to the streets below. Then, unwind with signature cocktails and bites at Après, where the calm atmosphere contrasts perfectly with the city’s buzzing energy.

Your journey begins at Grand Central, ascending into a world where art and architecture blur. Created by Kenzo Digital, the AIR experience transforms the sky itself into a living art installation — one of the largest immersive exhibits in New York City.

Experience the Four Dimensions of AIR:

Transcendence 1 & 2: Enter a mirrored realm where reflections stretch infinitely and gravity feels optional.
Affinity: Engage with floating reflective spheres that invite play and connection.
Unity: Become part of the artwork as your image merges into the digital sky.
Air at Night: Witness the space transform into a glowing, color-swept dreamscape illuminating the Manhattan skyline.

Whether day or night, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is more than an observation deck, it’s a multi-sensory journey that elevates how you see New York City itself.
