Summit One Vanderbilt
SUMMIT
One Vanderbilt is a completely new take on an observation deck. As well as the
magnificent view of NYC, there's five multi-sensory installations occupying the
top three floors of Midtown Manhattan’s tallest skyscraper.
Opening in
October 2021 to rave reviews, this remarkable attraction has been overwhelmed
by visitor engagement, so much so the average visitation time is 90
minutes.
Designed
by Kenzo Digital, floors 91 and 92 offer the experience Transcendence; as every
surface is mirrored it allows 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 spectacular light-show whilst Levitation is for the daring and offers two
transparent ledges to step onto high above Madison Avenue. The gallery
area currently displays an art installation by the Japanese Artist Yayoi Kusama
called Reflections, a multitude of sculptures covering the floor space is
designed to do just that - reflect. Unity is where we become one; through
the very latest in technology, visitors become part of the exhibition and can
marvel as their 3D face capture is transformed into a cloud in a mesmerizing,
infinite cloudscape display on a giant screen.
On the 93rd floor there's a café bar with
indoor and outdoor seating areas serving light fare as well as coffee &
cocktails. A daytime experience is completely different to nighttime when there is a light-show from the hundreds of thousands of LED lights hidden behind every mirror.
SUMMIT One Vanderbilt is the in-place to be and to be seen!
