Casa Cipriani Readies For August Debut At The Battery Maritime Building In Financial District, Manhattan
July 2021
Preparations are underway for next month’s grand opening of Casa Cipriani, a private club and hotel at the historic Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street in the Financial District. Construction recently completed on a 21st century steel and glass addition designed by Marvel with interiors by Thierry Despont atop the 112-year old Beaux Arts-style ferry terminal, which was originally designed by Walker & Morris and prominently stands along the waterfront. Measuring 263 feet wide and standing two stories tall, the 192,000-square-foot complex yields 47 hotel suites with private balconies overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, Governors Island, and the inbound and outbound Staten Island Ferries across the New York Harbor.
Located on the water in Lower Manhattan in the iconic Battery Maritime Building, one of the last remaining Beaux-Arts style ferry terminals of the twentieth century, Casa Cipriani, meticulously restored and with interiors by Thierry Despont, features 47 guest rooms, with a number of individually decorated suites, each blending Cipriani’s elegant simplicity with maritime-inspired themes and curated art.
Our timeless accommodations, many of which have large outdoor terraces and pergolas overlooking the water with breathtaking views of the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge, include unique amenities, lacquered mahogany, and custom Italian furnishings created exclusively for Casa Cipriani by Tedeschi, a leading company in Made in Italy that has always created all the Cipriani locations.
