The most gorgeous, most beautiful,
One Vanderbilt Observatory

Visit One Vanderbilt Observatory for one of the most impressive views of New York. This building, newly built in 2021, boasts an enormous size of 77 floors and an interior area of 48,000 pyeong. In particular, it is emerging as a new landmark among many tourists and New Yorkers.

One Vanderbilt has three observation decks: Ascent, Levitation, and Summit. Ascent is an express elevator made of glass on all four sides. And Levitation is also an observatory that looks like a glass box with glass on all four sides. Lastly, Summit is an outdoor observatory. It is located at Grand Central Station in the center of New York, so it is great for viewing downtown New York at a glance.

A new reality awaits

A new reality awaits at the Summit.
All experiences that challenge, inspire, and thrill can be experienced at the summit.

Summit's new experience is divided into Ascent, Summit, and Ravitation. Now, I will introduce each new reality.

Ascent, an elevator that rises to a height of 324m

The Ascent, which became even more famous after Espa took a photo at Summit One Vanderbilt, is an elevator with everything transparent on the outside. Take the world's largest exterior glass-floor elevator up to thrilling views of New York City. It's also great for taking fantastic photos.

Summit Observatory becomes magical when the sun sets

At night, you can see the magically beautiful cityscape of New York at a glance. A place with the best and most fantastic views in New York. This is Thermic One Vanderbilt. Enjoy the splendid night view of all of New York from Summit.

Levitation, a fantasy world made entirely of glass

Levitation, which is made of glass on all sides, is located at an altitude of 305m and is made entirely of glass, making it an observatory that is dizzying just by standing there. Levitation is especially beautiful at sunset, and the vividness of the light reflected gives it a truly shocking beauty.

In addition, we introduce some must-visit themes.

In addition to the themes introduced earlier, you must also see ‘Transcendence’ located on the 91st floor. This place is made entirely of glass on all four sides and, uniquely, the floor is made of mirrors, giving the feeling that the space is infinitely expanding.

Affinity is also a place where silver balloon sculptures float, making it a great place to take pictures. I also recommend you visit Reflect, where Yayoi Kusama’s clouds are on display.

I recommend going at night rather than during the day.

Summit One Vanderbilt is really pretty during the day, but I recommend going at night. This is because you might miss out on the very special experience of reflecting the lights of downtown New York. Night tickets are more expensive, but they are well worth it. If possible, we recommend viewing from sunset time to the night view at the same time.
