The Summit

The Summit is the most famous – and most exclusive mall on all of Poseidon. Its multilevel glass-and-steel structure stretches across two kilometres of the Haven Channel. The bridge is suspended between two massive girders set almost four kilometres apart that rise toward one-another on 45 degree angles. Inclinators, a cross between escalators and elevators, move pedestrians along the support girders from the surface to the Summit.

Summit One: This section of the Summit is the first area off the main inclinator on the Western end. It is the exclusive part of the mall, boasting luxury stores selling a variety of designer products, two restaurants, fine tile and carpeting throughout, and several breaks between establishments where walkways lead to terraces with beautiful views of the channel.

Summit Two: The central section of the Summit is dominated by two large department stores. On the western end, adjacent and accessible from Summit One, is Martel Drake, an upscale store with high-gloss floors of local marble that distributes a catalog famed for eccentric, outlandishly expensive gift ideas. On the eastern end, a less extravagant department store called McCarron’s does excellent business and serves as a throughway to Summit Three. Between the two department stores, the mall is filled with shops of every description, several restaurants, and ice-skating rink, and a holovid complex with 15 theatres.

Summit Three: The eastern end of Summit Three is home to the Shuttle Park Hotel. Its 42 floors provide a fine option for family and business travellers. An array of stores stretches from the hotel west to McCarrons, where islands of greenery down the centre climbing to the skylights above. The Gold Mine features a darkened tunnel with thousands of tiny, glittering lights leading to a virtual arcade designed to look like the inside of a mine.

The Horizons: Located half a kilometre from the Summit’s western end, this exclusive hotel is the crown jewel of the complex. The Horizons has 29 floors and boasts 430 amenity-filled rooms. Posh decors, Jacuzzis, full bars, and terraces with sweeping views of the channel are just some of the luxurious appointments.
