This place is off-limits to tourists. I consider it a neglected part of New York's history. According to my ranking of NYC's TOP BUILDINGS, this building is second (#1 Rockefeller, #3 Empire). As I mentioned, the building is not open to the public, but I had the opportunity, courtesy of the staff, to take a few photos to commemorate this great work of architecture.
In my opinion, Chrysler Building is the most beautiful building on NYC. Tourists are allowed into the lobby to appreciate some of the artistic decorations.
The Chrysler Building is stunning even from the outside! Its Art Deco architecture is iconic and really stands out in the New York skyline. A must-see for anyone visiting the city, especially for photos.
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.
Lobby is beautiful to look at. The security guards are very knowledgeable on the history of the building. Would defo recommend as a stop on the tour!
