InterContinental Barclay New York

Front Entrance

Set in the heart of Manhattan's Midtown, The InterContinental New York Barclay lives up to its reputation for distinction and elegance that it earned in 1926.

Set in Midtown East, the hotel was originally constructed as part of the Grand Central Terminal’s urban design plan. This historical landmark hotel offers luxurious accommodation, perfect for those wishing to explore the city.

Continually evolving with the city, the Barclay Hotel has undergone a spectacular restoration and eloquently recalls the grandeur of the Jazz Era and old New York while fusing modern-day conveniences and sustainable initiatives.

Combining sophistication and contemporary design, while staying true to its original Federalist style details, The Barclay exudes confidence and warmth, delivering the same residential feel whilst updating its facilities to meet the expectations of today's traveller. Elegant rooms have a similar look and feel to the hotel’s public spaces: understated but luxurious.

The Parlour is the perfect intimate hideaway to enjoy quality continental-style meals or pre-theatre cocktails. The sounds of classic jazz from the Great American Songbook complement their unique culinary offerings, crafted to take you on a journey of the hotel's history, the city and its vibrant culture.
