For business meetings in Midtown Manhattan, InterContinental The Barclay offers decades of know-how. Built by New York Central Railroad at the height of the Roaring ‘20s, The Barclay has entertained celebrities and discerning travelers in glamorous home-away-from-home style for more than 80 years.
InterContinental recently bestowed a multimillion dollar facelift on this Grande Dame, introducing twenty-first-century amenities while retaining old world elegance. New York City may be the “city that never sleeps,” but guests sleep in comfort and style in 686 guest rooms and suites that incorporate elements of a stylish home office. Eighteen fully-appointed meeting rooms, hosting groups of 10 to 300, also echo The Barclay's international flavor. Off fashionable Park Avenue, the location can't be beat for taking a bite of the Big Apple's endless entertainment, shopping, fine dining, and must-see attractions.
