InterContinental New York Barclay – New York - New York

The InterContinental New York Barclay, set in the heart of Manhattan's Midtown, lives up to its reputation for distinction and elegance that it earned in 1926. This historical landmark hotel offers luxurious accommodation, perfect for those wishing to explore the city. Having recently undergone the most ambitious restoration in its history, the hotel retains much of its original Federalist grandeur, whilst updating its facilities to meet the expectations of today's traveller. The Parlour is a great spot to enjoy quality meals or pre-theatre cocktails, and the concierge team can assist you throughout your stay.

Set in Midtown East, the hotel was originally constructed as part of the Grand Central Terminal expansion, which now lies less than 500 metres away. The luxury shops of 5th Avenue are of a similar distance, and you can witness spectacular views across the city from the Top of The Rock observation deck, around half a mile away. You can also venture slightly further to Central Park or Times Square, both less than a mile away. Art enthusiasts should visit the The Museum of Modern Art, eight blocks from the hotel. John F. Kennedy International Airport sits outside of Manhattan, about 16 miles from the property.

Elegant rooms have a similar look and feel to the hotel’s public spaces: understated but luxurious, with hints of Federalist styling. Neutral colour schemes establish a calming ambience, while gold accents, patterned soft furnishings and local artwork add character. All room offer Frette hypoallergenic bedding, a minibar, quality bathrobes and PressReader access to thousands of digital publications.
