If you\u2019re planning a trip to New York City and want a view that will truly take your breath away, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt<\/strong> is a must-visit. This isn\u2019t just another observation deck\u2014it\u2019s a multi-sensory experience that combines incredible skyline views with art, architecture, and thrill. Occupying the top three floors of the One Vanderbilt skyscraper, SUMMIT is more than 1,000 feet above Midtown Manhattan. But it\u2019s what\u2019s inside that makes it unforgettable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Start your visit in Transcendence<\/strong>, a mirrored room that reflects the sky, the city, and even you in a dizzying, dreamlike space. Then move into Affinity<\/strong>, where floating silver orbs bounce through the air like a surreal playground. Looking for a thrill? Step into Levitation<\/strong>, a series of all-glass skyboxes that extend out from the building\u2019s edge. For the boldest of visitors, add on Ascent<\/strong>, where a glass elevator climbs the building\u2019s exterior, giving you panoramic views all the way up. Finally, wind down with a cocktail at Apr\u00e8s Lounge<\/strong>, located on the 93rd floor, while taking in the iconic skyline. The entire experience is designed by artist Kenzo Digital and architectural firm Sn\u00f8hetta, ensuring a unique and immersive visit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Summit One Vanderbilt sits atop One Vanderbilt<\/strong>, a 73-story supertall skyscraper at the corner of 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue. Opened in 2020, it is the fourth-tallest building in NYC after One World Trade Center, Central Park Tower, and 111 West 57th Street. Being in the heart of Midtown, you\u2019re close to plenty of other attractions. Grand Central Terminal<\/a> is steps away, while Bryant Park, Times Square<\/a>, and the Empire State Building<\/a> are all within a 15-minute walk.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

You\u2019ll find SUMMIT located at 45 E 42nd Street, directly adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. That makes it incredibly easy to get to\u2014just hop on any subway line that stops at Grand Central\u201342nd Street (4, 5, 6, 7, or S). From there, you can enter via the Grand Central transit hall or from the street-level entrance on Vanderbilt Avenue. SUMMIT is open daily from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM, with the last entry at 10:30 PM. If you want the best of both worlds\u2014day and night\u2014aim to arrive about an hour before sunset. This way, you\u2019ll witness the city in golden light, then watch it transform into a sea of glowing skyscrapers. Plan to spend at least 60\u201390 minutes exploring, and be sure to book your tickets early, especially for prime sunset slots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether you’re traveling solo, visiting with friends, or planning a romantic date, SUMMIT One Vanderbilt delivers sky-high thrills and unforgettable views.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6,9],"tags":[50,51,32,33,36,24,60],"class_list":["post-536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-attractions","category-featured","category-must-see","tag-attractions-in-manhattan","tag-attractions-in-midtown-manhattan","tag-must-do-tourist-activities","tag-must-see-attractions","tag-must-see-views","tag-landmarks","tag-skyscrapers"],"yoast_head":"\nSUMMIT One Vanderbilt - Go!
