Chrysler Building

Unclaimed

We didn’t go inside the building, but the exterior alone is absolutely stunning! The architecture is truly breathtaking. From what I understand, you can access the first floor, but you need a pass to go beyond the elevators. Even so, no trip to NYC is complete without witnessing this architectural masterpiece in person! Visited on: Weekday Wait time: None Reservation recommended: No

The Chrysler Building's ground floor reception is an absolute hidden gem. Stepping inside for the first time, we were immediately struck by the Art Deco masterpiece's exquisite interior. The polished, inlaid walls and the stunning ceiling mural create an atmosphere of timeless elegance. The craftsmanship is breathtaking, a testament to the building's iconic design. It's a serene and beautiful space, a stark contrast to the bustling New York streets outside. A truly remarkable architectural experience that left us utterly impressed.

Visitors only have access to a about half the lobby, still you can appreciate very well the beautiful art deco lobby. There are absolutely no tours inside.

You are allowed in to the lobby to look around. Keep out of the way and the lobby staff are happy and so friendly. The ceilings alone are worth looking at. A truly beautiful, amazing place and my personal favourite building in the city.

This is one of my favourite buildings in Manhattan, and after 35 years of walking past it, I decided to go inside after reading a review. Next time I'll just admire it from the outside.
