Casa Cipriani

Manhattan, New York City

Legendary · held by 88 collectors

Casa Cipriani is the most prestigious recent entry in New York's private members club market — a club opened in 2021 occupying the landmarked Battery Maritime Building at 10 South Street in Lower Manhattan (a 1909 Beaux-Arts ferry terminal building whose restoration by COOKFOX Architects preserved the original green-and-cream faience tile exterior and cast-iron structure while converting the interior into a hotel, restaurant, pool club, and members spaces), operated under the Cipriani brand whose hospitality lineage extends to the founding of Harry's Bar in Venice by Giuseppe Cipriani in 1931, whose subsequent New York expressions (Cipriani Downtown, Cipriani 42nd Street, Cipriani Wall Street) have made the Cipriani name synonymous with a specific version of Italian-inflected American luxury hospitality since the 1990s. The Battery Maritime Building's specific location — at the foot of Wall Street's financial district, with direct views of the harbour, the Statue of Liberty, and Governors Island from the upper floors and terrace — gives Casa Cipriani a geographical position that combines downtown Manhattan's financial and creative industries in a single social environment, creating a member base whose professional composition differs from the Midtown-centric Core Club or the cross-city Soho House network. As a Lifestyle Flow Node, Casa Cipriani maps the class of members clubs whose intelligence value derives from the physical beauty of their setting: the Battery Maritime Building's harbour-facing position, the quality of light over the water at different times of day, and the historical resonance of a building that served as New York's primary gateway to its outer harbour islands create an atmosphere whose experiential quality is inseparable from the membership's social value, making the club's location as significant a differentiator as its roster.
