A fire erupted Saturday at Casa Cipriani, the members-only hotel, restaurant and lounge atop the iconic Battery Maritime Building in Lower Manhattan.
Video posted on social media by a person traveling by ferry showed flames engulfing a section of the hotspot’s terrace lounge as a worker used a fire extinguisher in vain trying to put them out.
The FDNY responded to a five-story waterfront building at 3:51 p.m. and had the blaze under control by 4:27 p.m. The fire spread from an air conditioner unit to the hotel’s machinery room, FDNY said.

There were no reported injuries and the cause of the blaze is under investigation.
Casa Cipriani, which sits on city-owned land, is typically off-limits to most common folks, as you must be a club member or pay upwards of $800 a night for one of 47 guest rooms.
It is the hot spot for many A-list celebs, including Leonardo DiCaprio, who has repeatedly been spotted there with new love interest Gigi Hadid.
