Four Worlds. One Unforgettable View.
SUMMIT spans 65,000 sq ft across 3 floors — each one a completely different sensory world blending art, architecture, and the Manhattan skyline.
AIR by Kenzo Digital — Infinite Mirror Universe
A multi-sensory mirrored universe spanning two floors. The Manhattan skyline reflects infinitely in every direction — you become part of the city itself. This is SUMMIT's most photographed space and one of the most instagrammed places in all of New York.
Glass Skyboxes — 1,100 Ft Above Madison Avenue
Two transparent glass skyboxes cantilevered directly over Madison Avenue — look straight down 1,100 feet to the street below. Completely glass underfoot, above, and around you. Heart-pounding, unforgettable, and completely unlike anything else on earth.
Yayoi Kusama's Cloud Installation
Step inside a visual immersion by legendary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Floating reflective orbs, light installations, and infinite mirror reflections completely shift your perception of space. A gallery-level art experience — at 1,000 feet above the city.
Sky-High Cocktail Lounge & Outdoor Terrace
Après is SUMMIT's sky-level café and cocktail bar — handcrafted drinks and seasonal small plates while panoramic NYC views stretch 80 miles in every direction. The perfect way to end an extraordinary experience at 1,100 feet above the city.
