Suite, 2 Bedrooms (Verrazzano)

The Verrazzano Suite is a river-view suite designed to frame East River vistas. Casa Cipriani sits in the landmark Battery Maritime Building at the southern tip of Manhattan, so the water is part of everyday life here. Step out to the East Terrace for views of the Brooklyn Bridge, or the West Terrace for the Statue of Liberty and the skyline.

The suite has two king beds across its two bedrooms and sleeps up to five guests. A complimentary rollaway or extra bed is available for the fifth guest. Beds are dressed in Frette Italian sheets with premium hypo-allergenic bedding, and blackout drapes help with sleep.

At 1029 sq. ft. it is a true two-bedroom suite, with generous living and sleeping areas kept separate. Interiors are by Thierry Despont and blend Cipriani style with maritime-inspired themes. Air conditioning and heating let you set the temperature to suit you.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, with designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and a hair dryer. Accessibility features include an accessible bathtub with a grab bar and a wheelchair-accessible vanity. The suite also has Braille/raised signage, a visual fire alarm, doorbell and phone notification, and a closed-captioned TV.

Hotel guests can use the club facilities, including The Restaurant, the terraces, the Living Room, the Promenade Bar and the Jazz Café. The suite includes complimentary Wi-Fi and a 55-inch smart TV with cable channels and pay movies. Hotel guests also have key-card access to the Fitness Center around the clock.

With two king bedrooms, a living area and room for five, it suits two couples or a group of friends or colleagues travelling together. It also works well for a longer stay, with turndown service and towels and sheets refreshed every two days. The accessible bathroom features make it a good choice for guests with mobility needs.

The Restaurant serves Cipriani classics daily from 7AM to midnight. The Living Room serves pizzas, appetizers and desserts, with a full bar, until 1AM or 2AM depending on the night. The Jazz Café opens Tuesday to Saturday, 7PM to 1AM, with live jazz. Casa Cipriani keeps an elegant dress code. Hooded sweatshirts, ripped jeans, joggers, cargo pants and sweatpants are never permitted, and non-compliant guests may be denied entry. Athletic sneakers are only allowed until noon, and men's short-sleeved shirts only until 5:00 PM.

Casa Cipriani Wellness offers eucalyptus steam, cedar saunas, cryotherapy and massages. It is open 11am to 8pm daily, and treatments require a reservation, so book ahead by contacting the hotel. The Fitness Center runs personal training and movement classes, and hotel guests have 24-hour key-card access.

The hotel is at 10 South Street, a 3-minute walk from Battery Park and about 10 minutes on foot from Wall Street. Governors Island ferries leave from the same building, and the free Staten Island Ferry departs from the neighboring Whitehall Terminal. The Whitehall Street-South Ferry subway station is about 170 m away. There is no on-site parking, though valet parking nearby costs roughly $100 per night. The hotel does not arrange airport transfers, and LaGuardia is a drive of about 23 to 26 minutes.
