Vessel is a Tour Stop / Pick Up for the following tours:
The Vessel at Hudson Yards is an architectural masterpiece and a new icon in the challenging skyline of New York City. The 16-story, honeycomb-like structure sits in the heart of Hudson Yards, Manhattan's newest neighborhood — a modern mixed-use development that brings together residential, commercial, and leisure space with art and cultural elements. Mirroring an ascending spiral of interlinked staircases, this magnificent landmark has quickly become a must-visit tourist attraction since its completion in 2019. The surreal beauty of this structure is a beacon to visitors seeking a unique blend of physical activity, stunning panoramic vistas, and avant-garde design.
Conceptualized by acclaimed British designer Thomas Heatherwick and his team at Heatherwick Studio, the Vessel was built as a focal point to liven up the Hudson Yards' public square. Referred to as a 'giant staircase to nowhere,' it is a labyrinth of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs — almost 2,500 individual steps — and 80 platforms that provide breathtaking perspectives across the Hudson River and the city beyond. Covering a base area of 50 ft by 50 ft and expanding to 150 ft at the summit, the Vessel's unique shape and network of stairways and platforms present an incomparable experience.
The Vessel's architectural brilliance lies in its function as much as its form. What appears to be a complex geometric construct becomes an interactive play where visitors are encouraged to climb, explore, and engage physically with its cylindrical structure. The mirror-polished copper-cladding of the structure offers a multitude of views, reflecting and amplifying the vibrant energy of the surroundings. As you grasp the bold, bronzed handrail and step onto the stairs, an urban exploratory journey unfolds, offering an ever-changing kaleidoscope of the Hudson Yards and the city skyline.
Moreover, one of the Vessel's highest appeal is its capacity to deliver a different experience with every visit; no two visits would yield the same view or evoke identical emotions. Whether you choose to climb up to its highest point or stay close to the ground, or travel its labyrinth under the bright midday sun or beneath the twinkling stars and city lights, the Vessel at Hudson Yards guarantees an unforgettable adventure each time.
In conclusion, the Vessel at Hudson Yards is more than a monument; it is an interactive spectacle where architecture and art meet. Its bold design, soaring staircases, and vantage platforms connect you to the city in a way that's unique and personal. Whether you're a photography enthusiast seeking stunning cityscapes, an architecture lover intrigued by innovative designs, or a fitness buff in search of a workout with a view, the Vessel at Hudson Yards is a destination that promises fascination and enjoyment to every visitor.
