The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive artwork was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points. Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings -- the vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond. Vessel offers elevators for those who require it for their visit. Please visit Vessel’s official website for more information and to book Priority Access for visitors with disabilities.
