Premier Room, River View

This room faces the East River, so the outlook is over the waterfront. Casa Cipriani sits in the landmark Battery Maritime Building at the southern tip of Manhattan, and the room's interior by Thierry Despont draws on maritime themes to match.

The room has 1 king bed dressed in Frette Italian sheets, with premium hypo-allergenic bedding. A free rollaway bed can be added, so the room sleeps up to 3 guests. At 404 sq. ft., it is best suited to a couple, or to two guests plus one companion.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and a hair dryer. Accessible features include an accessible bathtub with grab bar and a wheelchair-accessible vanity. The room also has braille/raised signage, a visual fire alarm, doorbell and phone notification, and closed captioned TV. Towels and bed sheets are changed every two days.

You will find a 55-inch smart TV with cable channels and pay movies, plus complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. Blackout drapes, heating and air conditioning are also provided. Each evening brings turndown service. Concierge services can arrange spa treatments and dining reservations.

Hotel guests can use the club's facilities, including a Cipriani restaurant and bar, the Jazz Café and the Living Room. Guests also have key-card access to the Fitness Center 24 hours a day, with personal training and movement classes on offer. The spa is open daily from 11am to 8pm, and treatments need to be reserved in advance through the hotel.

The Restaurant serves classic Cipriani dishes daily from 7AM to midnight, indoors or on the terrace facing the Brooklyn Bridge. The Living Room serves pizzas, Venetian sandwiches, desserts and a full bar until 1AM or 2AM, depending on the day. The Jazz Café opens Tuesday to Saturday, 7PM to 1AM, with a pianist and jazz bands. Breakfast is available for a surcharge of roughly $28 per person.

Casa Cipriani enforces an elegant, polished dress code. Ripped jeans, hooded sweatshirts, joggers, track pants and sweatpants are never permitted. Athletic sneakers are allowed only until noon, and men's short-sleeved shirts only until 5:00 PM. At check-in, bring photo ID and a credit card. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is before noon.

Governors Island ferries depart from the same building. The Whitehall Street-South Ferry subway station is roughly 0.1 mile away, and Wall Street is about a 10-minute walk.
