How to play the C#maj11 chord on piano

Split the recommended voicing between the hands: play C#3 and C4 with the left hand and F#4 and Eb5 with the right. Suggested fingering is 5–1 on the left and 1–5 on the right (1 is the thumb). This practical voicing omits the third and perfect fifth (F and Ab) so the third does not clash with the eleventh.
