"Sojourn in NY"
A very unique hotel, offering a refreshing alternative for a stay in New York. Its location is ideal, even close to the helicopter pad—though unfortunately, our flight was canceled due to weather. While the rooftop bar wasn’t yet open, the bar on the 5th floor more than made up for it with epic views. Saturday night was particularly lively, making it a challenge to find a table, but it’s clearly a fashionable hotspot for New York’s stylish crowd. The restaurant served delicious food with impressively prompt service, and the staff throughout were consistently helpful. Our room, complete with a private terrace, was simply gorgeous and elevated the entire experience.
"Stay"
I had an incredible stay at Casa Cipriani—easily my favorite hotel in New York City. The views are absolutely mesmerizing, unlike anything else in the city, and the atmosphere is truly unique. The club is outstanding, the staff are warm and attentive, and the gym is top-notch. I’ll be dreaming about this experience until I return!
"Art Deco Luxury next to the Staten Island Ferry dock!"
This is without a doubt one of the most amazing hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Everything radiates true luxury, with attention to even the smallest detail. The décor is perfection—wooden designer art deco furniture, carefully chosen artwork on the walls, electronic shades, a beautifully stocked minibar, and thoughtful touches like eye masks at turndown. The rooms are filled with fluffy towels, impeccable linens, and an ambience that defines what luxury hospitality should be. That said, I was truly surprised that no other review mentions the constant sound of the Staten Island ferry, which runs 24/7 every half hour. Both the motor and horn were clearly audible, and in the morning, the noise of crates being moved outside the suite further disrupted the atmosphere. For me, this unfortunately broke the magic. As beautiful as the hotel is, its location is a significant drawback, and I’m not sure I’d return for that reason. One final note—while we booked the Jazz Club for dinner, it turned out to be quite disappointing. Only a couple of tables were occupied, the performance didn’t really feel like jazz, and the atmosphere was flat. I would recommend dining in the main restaurant instead, where there’s far more energy and a better experience overall.
"By Far the Best Private Club in Manhattan"
We had dinner here with friends, though we’re not yet members (the waiting list is currently about four years). The place is remarkable, offering two outdoor spaces—a bar and a restaurant. The restaurant, in particular, is a true showstopper. Unless you’re arriving by private yacht under the Brooklyn Bridge, it’s hard to imagine experiencing views, service, food, and atmosphere at this level. The people were exceptional, and the food matched the setting—slightly on the expensive side, but not unreasonably so given the quality. Naturally, you must be accompanied by a member, so don’t get your hopes up otherwise. Beyond dining, the rest of the property is exquisite too, with elegant bars and lounges, a gym, spa, and even a rooftop pool on the way. Very well done.
"Stunning building and decor, a stylish 8/10 from me"
This was our first stay at Casa Cipriani New York, booked as something of a leap of faith after joining Casa Cipriani in Milan (sight unseen) as an alternative to our usual Soho House stays in Meatpacking. Location & Atmosphere: The hotel sits on the southernmost tip of Manhattan in the beautifully restored former Governor’s Island ferry terminal. The building itself is stunning, with interiors that channel the elegance of a grand ocean liner—wood-paneled corridors, nautical touches, and top-notch finishes. The nearby ferry and heliport add the occasional horn or hum, but these felt more like reminders of the city’s energy than a disturbance. Room: We stayed in a junior suite facing the river, which offered great views (though no outdoor space). The bedroom was spacious with a supremely comfortable bed, a well-designed walk-in wardrobe with a luggage bench (Rimowa owners will appreciate this), and generous hanging and drawer space. The bathroom, however, was less impressive: while large, it had only one sink, limited storage, and a shower-over-tub arrangement that splashed water outside when first turned on. Fittings were gold but tastefully done. Service & Facilities: Room service was quick, the concierge competent, and valet service—particularly Marcus—excellent. Lighting controls in the room were confusing, but manageable. The strict dress code (no shorts after midday) is worth noting. Complaints: There were a few service missteps that dampened the stay: A mix-up with a second room booking, which the hotel attempted to “fix” by upselling us to a $2.5k/night room. A billing error, with our junior suite initially quoted at $1,200/night but charged at $1,400 until we provided proof. A disappointing final dinner on the terrace, where despite booking, we were made to wait 45 minutes as “outdoor tables aren’t guaranteed,” only to be squeezed into a cramped spot between two other tables. A fellow diner promptly complained about how close we were seated, which soured the experience. Overall: For a five-night stay, the bill came to about $10.5k with extras. I personally enjoyed the hotel’s charm, history, and character, while my wife was less convinced. Casa Cipriani has plenty of potential, and I suspect they’ll smooth out some of these issues over time. If you’re a smoker—especially of cigars—you’ll likely enjoy the rooftop bar. Whether this becomes our new NYC go-to remains to be seen.
"Amazing Hotel & Membership Space"
I always have a wonderful time here with friends. A big thank you to Kyle and the hosts at the membership lounge for their consistent warmth and hospitality. On a few occasions, I’ve borrowed a blazer, and the staff have always been gracious and accommodating. This is easily a top-three membership club in New York City, and many of my clients consider it a must-visit staple as well.
"Great view, fun experience, private club"
What a spectacular venue, with unbeatable views of New York Harbor—the Staten Island ferry gliding in and out, Brooklyn and Governors Island in full sight, and the Verrazzano bridge in the distance. The cocktails were well crafted, not the most generous pours, but sipping an old-school Harry’s Bar martini instantly brought back memories of traveling to Venice with my father, just decades after Hemingway himself famously raised a glass there. The menu offered plenty of choices, and while the food was solid rather than extraordinary, the desserts—especially the cakes and gelatos—stood out as the highlight. The crowd was wealthy, energetic, and not shy about flaunting it, creating a lively atmosphere. Service was attentive, and overall, it was a fun night—made even better knowing work picked up the tab—before ending with a memorable walk back to Brooklyn over the bridge.
"New York’s most exclusive address"
We had the pleasure of staying at Casa Cipriani for a quick trip to NYC, and it’s without question one of the most exclusive hotels in North America. From the moment you arrive at the private motor lobby, you know you’re in for a unique experience. The discreet and elegant lobby sets the tone, with an attentive front office and concierge team who impress with their genuine hospitality and name recognition. Our harbor-facing room was stunning—spacious, beautifully designed, and so quiet that we barely noticed the ferries coming and going just outside the window. The closet alone was large enough to feel like its own room! Small details, like thoughtful bedside amenities, ensured a restful night’s sleep. The highlight was the top-floor Club, accessible only to guests and members. We enjoyed perfectly crafted cocktails before a dinner that felt like fine dining in Italy—yet with the Brooklyn Bridge glowing in the background, it was unmistakably New York. The food, service, and atmosphere were exceptional without being pretentious. Classic Cipriani dishes are a must. The property also boasts a world-class wellness area, easily one of the best I’ve seen in any hotel, with every kind of equipment imaginable. While I intended to try it after our indulgent evening, the plush bed convinced me otherwise! Casa Cipriani is more than just a hotel—it’s an experience. Thank you for a truly memorable stay; we’ll absolutely be back.
"Crushing disappointment"
The hotel is undeniably iconic, and its 5th-floor terrace is a lively meeting point in New York. However, our stay left much to be desired. We reserved a room with a balcony for about $1,300 per night (breakfast not included), only to find a space that looked nothing like the photos online. The balcony was enclosed with a cheap covering, stripping it of any charm or view, while the dark interior felt more like a bunker than a luxury room. After requesting a change, we were moved to a brighter room without a balcony, but it overlooked a noisy construction site—hence the earplugs left on the pillow. The room itself felt dated and in need of maintenance, particularly the bathroom, though the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was another letdown, lacking the quality expected at this level. That said, the hotel’s prime location remains its strongest asset.
"Jazmin F"
We arrived at Casa Cipriani on February 12 after a long flight from Tokyo with my three youngest children. Exhausted, we were initially disappointed: our rooms were very small, not in good condition, and one of my sons didn’t even have a bed. To make things more difficult, we were told children under 21 were not allowed in the restaurant on Monday evenings. At that moment, our vacation felt like it was going to be a disaster. But then we met Jazmin F., the manager—and everything changed. She was truly our salvation. With genuine care and kindness, she turned our experience from stressful to unforgettable. Jazmin upgraded us, free of charge, to a spacious suite with two bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms, and a terrace with breathtaking views. To make us feel even more welcome, we were greeted with thoughtful gifts of wine, cookies, and fresh fruit. She also made sure we could enjoy a family-friendly dinner in a private dining room with a dedicated waiter. The Cipriani pasta was outstanding, and the pistachio ice cream and meringue cake were the perfect ending. On our last day, since our flight wasn’t until late evening, Jazmin kindly arranged a late check-out and a room where we could relax, leave our luggage, and shower before heading to the airport. Thanks to Jazmin, what began as a stressful situation turned into a beautiful memory. She truly saved our trip and made our last two days in New York spectacular. Thank you, Jazmin, and thank you Casa Cipriani! ❤️
