New York's Most Iconic Address Awaits You

Ninety years above Midtown Manhattan, where skylines, history, and unforgettable moments converge at 45 Rockefeller Plaza.

About Us

Rockefeller Center featuring the iconic golden statue and flags.

Sixty-nine stories. Nineteen buildings. One address that has defined Midtown Manhattan since 1930. Rockefeller Center is not simply a plaza you pass through. It is the place where the city performs for you: the golden Prometheus fountain catching winter light, the Christmas tree rising fourteen stories above the skating rink, and from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck, a 360-degree panorama that makes every other skyline view feel like a rehearsal.

More than 4.7 stars across 201,000 reviews is not a marketing number. It is the verdict of school trips, anniversary dinners, first-time visitors from six continents, and lifelong New Yorkers who still stop on the Channel Gardens just to look up. The complex hosts the NBC Studios, celebrated restaurants, global retailers, and a calendar of cultural, fashion, and seasonal events that runs twelve months without a pause.

Rockefeller Center is open every day, around the clock, because the city never stops and neither does this landmark. Whatever brings you here, a guided tour, a private wedding at the Rainbow Room, or simply skating under the tree in December, the experience is rooted in nearly a century of New York at its most ambitious.

What We Offer

Top of the Rock Observation Deck delivers unobstructed views from the 70th floor, including the only vantage point where you can see the Empire State Building in full. Layer that with the Beam Experience, Skylift, and the Weather Room for a multi-level journey through the sky that no other Manhattan observation deck replicates.

On the ground and below, the Rink at Rockefeller Center draws skaters from November through April, while year-round programming spans Rockefeller Center Tours, family and kids activities, culture and entertainment events, fashion showcases, and the legendary Seasonal Holiday Events that transform the plaza each December. VIP Experiences and private dining options give groups and couples access to the landmark on their own terms.

For planners and brands, the venue portfolio is exceptional. The Rainbow Room hosts weddings and galas on the 65th floor. Corporate meetings, rooftop gardens, brand activations, film and photo shoots, and Newsstand Studios round out a private events offering that turns one of the world's most recognized addresses into the backdrop for your most important moments.
