Movies have a way to resonate with people and transport them to different destinations, time periods, and characters through the screen. At Graduate Roosevelt Island, the screen becomes a reality with The Loft Suite inspired by the 1988 film Big.

Located on the sixth floor of Graduate Roosevelt Island, The Loft Suite has been fully transformed into a toy-filled suite just as Tom Hanks’ character, Josh Baskin does to his NYC apartment in the film. The story of Big begins with a child that wishes to be an adult and becomes one. When booking The Loft Suite, the opposite can occur where adults can be taken back in time and turn into kids for the week or share their love for 80’s classic movies with kids of their own. Sleeping up to six guests, The Loft Suite provides iconic childhood toys and games complete with a real Zoltar machine and themed bunk beds. A life-sized floor piano and mini trampoline are also included, and the best part. Guests can watch Big on an old TV via VHS.
