New York City is in constant development, such as the Hudson Yards neighborhood. Of all the constructions underway in the area, The Vessel promises to offer a magnificent view over Manhattan.
The good news? After being closed for a couple of months, it is now available for booking (again)
What is The Vessel?
Designed by architect Thomas Heatherwick, The Vessel is between a sculpture and a building. It is a gigantic 15-story staircase with 2500 steps. The 154 stairs are entangled as a labyrinth and connected in a certain way.
Before reaching the highest point of the construction, you can rest on one of the 80 landings from where you can enjoy New York City from different points of view. At the top of the construction, the view is breathtaking over Manhattan and the Hudson River.
There is an elevator for everyone to be able to visit this place.

The Vessel is in Hudson Yards, between Hell’s Kitchen and Chelsea. Hudson Yards is a neighborhood that has changed a lot in recent years and will be a must-see area of the city with new buildings, shopping centers …
