Cipriani 42nd Street is the former Bowery Savings Bank of 1921, a Neo-Renaissance New York City Landmark opposite Grand Central, with an 80 by 160 foot ballroom under a ceiling about 64 feet high. It seats up to 800 guests for dinner.
The building on East 42nd Street opened in 1921 as the Bowery Savings Bank, and it is now a New York City Landmark in the Neo-Renaissance style. Cipriani, a family business with four generations of hospitality behind it, runs it today as an event venue. Inside are marble columns, inlaid floors, chandeliers and ceilings that rise to around 64 feet in the main ballroom and 65 feet in the marble entrance hall.
The ballroom measures roughly 80 by 160 feet and is the room most weddings use. The venue lists seated dinners from 200 up to 800 guests in the ballroom, depending on layout, and standing receptions of up to 1,800 across the whole building. The marble entrance acts as a pre-function space, holding 200 to 800 standing, and two smaller rooms sit alongside it: the Tapestry Room of about 1,700 square feet and the Mezzanine of about 600 square feet.
