Summit One Vanderbilt, Rooftop
New York City boasts numerous observation decks offering stunning views of the city from above, each with its own unique charm. The highlight of this building is its observation deck, designed with reflective glass and floor-to-ceiling windows, seamlessly integrated with artistic elements. The final room was the one we had high expectations for, having seen plenty of reviews. It's a room filled with silver reflective balls, but it was packed with people, almost like worms 🐛. The entrance fee is $1,500, which might be equivalent to $150 in their currency—quite warm and welcoming. We chose to visit at night to enjoy the city lights, but taking photos was extremely challenging. We managed to get five decent photos, while the rest either had red faces due to the lighting or looked like we were part of a group tour. It was quite disappointing.
However, the personal reason I like this building is that it's the only one where you can see the Chrysler Building, the younger twin of the Empire State Building. The Chrysler Building is my favorite and was once the tallest building in New York before the Empire State Building took over, though it held the title for only a year 😅. Personally, I adore the Chrysler Building for its classic charm and pencil-like design.
Summit One Vanderbilt offers a one-of-a-kind perspective of New York City. Immersive, stunning, and thoughtfully designed an experience I’d happily pay for again.
OneVanderbilt has really amazing unobstructed view of NYC skyline. You’ll be able to view Empire State Building. Totally worth your bucks
Summit One was the highlight of my New York City trip. The views were absolutely incredible, the atmosphere was unforgettable, and every level offered something unique. A must-visit experience in NYC.
It was very shocking. The music, lights and scenery were integrated with each other, and the organic superposition of multiple sensory stimulations amplified the whole experience. It gave visitors the opportunity to interact with each other, as well as with the indoor and outdoor environment. It is worth recommending.
A stunning observation deck with interesting locations (a mirror room, a room with balloons) is a must-visit. But there are a lot of people who have to stand in line.
A new check-in spot in New York, where you can see the Empire State Building and Central Park. The mirrored viewing platform is very creative, and everyone likes to play in the suspended ball room
Summit One Vanderbilt provides breathtaking panoramic views of New York City. The observation deck features both indoor and outdoor areas, with unique elements like glass-floored sky boxes and a transparent elevator called "Ascent," offering an immersive experience.
The whole experience is very cool. It has different areas for you to explore and the view on top is amazing. Before you go up, you will need to wear a protective layer over your shoes as the first area you go will be a place full of mirrors. The view at the top is where you can see the whole of NYC. I went at sunset which is really nice as you get to see the whole area turn from day to night. Another area which is really fun is where all the balls are and the kids are able to play around in the room together with the adults.
