Exclusivity and Elegance: Inside Casa Cipriani in New York
Anyone who enjoys more exclusive stays will fall in love with everything Casa Cipriani has to offer. Known as a private members-only club, the newly opened Casa Cipriani is also a boutique hotel and a gastronomic center full of history and curiosities.
Located at the southern tip of Manhattan, where the iconic Battery Maritime Building once stood, the historic Beaux-Arts style ferry terminal designed in 1906, Casa Cipriani offers innovation in New York’s hotel scene, as well as unparalleled views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty.
The exclusivity of the place is a must for anyone deciding to visit; with only 47 waterfront rooms, Casa Cipriani enlisted the collaboration of architect and designer Thierry Despont, known for landmark projects such as the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Despont’s work was fundamental in making the venue what it is. The meticulously thought-out details impress visitors. The use of high-end materials and custom furnishings ensures the elegance, sophistication, and maritime inspiration the venue deserves.
Anyone who thinks Casa Cipriani wins guests over only with its rooms and decor is mistaken; moreover, the space also features an exclusive members-only club, where members have access to a jazz club, restaurant, bar, and a rooftop with city views.
There is also a spa spanning over 4,000 m², which includes a fully equipped fitness area, saunas, cryotherapy, integrative medical treatments, and of course, a variety of massages and therapies. The good news is that you do not necessarily need to be a member to enjoy these additional benefits, as the spa services can be booked by non-guests.
The gastronomic aspect also stands out at Casa Cipriani, which features an Italian restaurant open exclusively to hotel guests. The venue continues the elegance showcased throughout Casa, with a golden glass mural inspired by the dining room of a 1930s ocean liner; the menu offers classics from Harry’s Bar, the iconic Venetian bar founded by Giuseppe Cipriani, such as the famous meringue cake and the original carpaccio.
To wrap up, Casa Cipriani also presents Cipriani South Street, a large event complex that includes a private entrance hall, pre-function rooms, and the Great Hall, providing an elegant space for up to 800 seated guests.
