The Woolworth Building is one of New York City's most spectacular structures, both inside and out. Once the tallest skyscraper in the world, this Neo-Gothic tower is covered in ornate details from the ground floor to its iconic copper-clad pinnacle. You can get up close to the intricate tracery on the upper levels of the building when you join our Exclusive Access Woolworth Building Tours on the weekend, now with access to the 26th floor!
Guests on the 26th Floor during an Exclusive Access Tour of the Woolworth Building
We first got to see the views from the 26th floor back in January when Untapped New York hosted a special event in partnership with the Woolworth Building and the Downtown Alliance (hence the snow and nighttime photos). Actual pieces of the building were on display inside as part of an art installation by Aaron Asis, and we could see the same details just outside the window. Now, those views are available on all weekend tours.
Peering out the windows, you'll find an abundance of eye candy. You will notice pointed Gothic arches, colorful terra cotta flowers, stately lion reliefs, looming gargoyles, and features right on the building itself. Looking past the Woolworth itself, you will get unique views over City Hall Park and out across lower Manhattan to Brooklyn.
From the 26th floor you can see notable sights like the Manhattan Bridge, One World Trade, the Manhattan Municipal Building, the Park Row Building, the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, and Hudson Yards in the distance, among many others.
