With Ascent, Guests will step into an all-glass exterior elevator that travels 12 stories up the side of One Vanderbilt, reaching the highest viewing point from the tallest tower in Midtown Manhattan at over 100 stories up.

Once inside SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, step into Air by Kenzo Digital at 91 stories and navigate mirrored rooms that alter your perception of space. Capture your likeness in 3D and watch as your face transforms into a cloud, drifting across an endless digital sky on a massive screen.

Check out Reflect an art installation from world-famous Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Continue to Levitation, where you step onto a glass ledge suspended 1,063 feet above Madison Avenue. Stand above the skyline and look out at New York’s architecture from a vantage few others get to see.
