Go beyond the ordinary at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, where immersive art installations turn panoramic views into unforgettable moments of self-reflection and connection.

Getting started

Your journey begins high above the city at the top of One Vanderbilt. After a seamless arrival, step into SUMMIT and prepare to experience the skyline in ways you never imagined.

What to expect

Begin your visit inside Air by Kenzo Digital, a multi-sensory mirrored space where the skyline becomes more than a backdrop, it becomes part of the art. Reflections stretch infinitely in all directions, challenging your perception of space, time, and self.

This isn’t just an observation deck, it’s a living, breathing fusion of design and cityscape that transforms how you see New York and how you see yourself within it.

Features:

  • Discover Air, a mirrored installation that reimagines the skyline as a surreal, interactive environment.

  • Feel a deeper connection to NYC as art and architecture merge in a space designed to elevate the senses.

  • Capture unforgettable visuals where your reflection and the city blur into one expansive canvas.

  • Immerse yourself in an experience that encourages introspection, curiosity, and awe.

Wrapping up

Step outside to take in open-air views from SUMMIT’s outdoor terrace, or head to Après, the sky-high lounge where handcrafted cocktails and skyline views offer a serene finish. Whether you're here for the art, the views, or the thrill, SUMMIT redefines what it means to experience New York City from above.
