Midtown Manhattan grandeur with fine dining and Neo-Federal design
Built in 1926 through support of the Vanderbilt family, the Neo-Federal-style InterContinental New York Barclay offers classic Manhattan magnificence for travelers. A grand glass ceiling graces the hotel lobby, setting an artful tone that carries through to guest rooms dressed in understated elegance. Barclay Bar and Grill is a destination, with farm-fresh American and Continental cuisine. InterContinental also features a fitness center with a sauna and a steam room, more than 13,000 square feet of event space and a location just off Park Avenue.

The hotel is perfectly positioned for a tourist in Manhattan. The rooms look a little bit dated but the staff keeps them clean and tidy. All of the staff were exceptional. The price was really good as well.

Felt totally at ease from the moment we walked in. Friendly staff, clean well appointed room (although bathroom could use a bit of modernizing). Close to subways and great restaurants. Great value for money. Will return.

NOT RECOMMENDED
I understand it's NYC, but for 400$ a night, you expect AT LEAST a free parking to the hotel and a free swimming pool. In fact I paid 400$ for a room that is on the small side, averagely clean, with nothing special in it, plus i paid 70 $ for parking. Too much. For this price you can have a suite with a jacuzzi in it and in bed breakfast in a fine hotel. NOT RECOMMENDED.

Beautiful hotel in midtown
we have recently made the intercontinental our hotel of choice wherever we travel and the ic Barclay does not disappoint. We were in town for the us open and the hotel was well prepared with directions to transportation, information, etc. Fabulous martinis in the lobby bar! Downside: I'm a club member, and was offered a room upgrade and late checkout, but as far as I could tell, there was no club level. I could be wrong, and we wouldn't have been able to take much advantage of it anyway, but it's always nice to enjoy the club level at other ic properties. Also, we had to pay $8.95 for 15 minutes of Internet access in the business center and an additional $1.35 to print a b&w page. You can, however, print boarding passes for free. All in all, highly recommended if you don't need to be in the middle of the hustle & bustle...it's about a 10 minute walk to times square.

Azalea next door to the gershwin theatre is a great spot for lunch or dinner. Italian with some very special menu items. The pear & gorgonzola souffle appetizer is amazing!

Classic & Elegant Stay, GREAT Service!!
We stayed as family, one small toddler girl for two nights on weekend. The hotel has excellent service with professional manners and friendly care to both adults and for a child. The room was classic setting with nice single cup making coffee maker, amenities helped our grooming needs well, and entire hotel hall was quiet and smelled nice flower aroma! We LOVED their breakfast beffet; all organic ingredients and fresh food yet, elegant presentation. The restaurant staffs were all professional, elegant and friendly. The location is great and all near by nice & elegant Park Ave for business needs, Madison Ave & 5th Ave for shopping. A few taxies were always waiting in the front entrance for the guests convenience and bell service was professional. We LOVE to come back to THE BARCLAY InterContinental hotel for everything we need in NYC next time!

Nice, upscale yet convenient walking distance restaurants are in Midtown East on Park, Madison and 5th Ave! But during the spring/summer, for gentlemen, refrain from your shorts and sandals for some elegant Frensh/Italian restaurants/cafes. They have dress code - no shorts.

Elegant Relaxation
The Barclay is consistently friendly, luxurious, and spotlessly clean. The floral arrangements in the lobby are exquisite and lend a sense of formal elegance. Staff is helpful and courteous. Restaurant prices are steep, so we don't dine there, but there are options nearby that allow for reasonable meals.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Great staff.
This has to be one of the best in Manhattan. Great staff, especially Jose at the front desk. This was the first visit to Manhattan for two members of the party. Did the "normal" tourist attractions, i.e., Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Ground Zero, Times Square, Central Park. Rode the double decker bus and the subway. Great experience. The hotel was the best part of getting back after a long day. The beds were SOOO comfortable.

Short walk from hotel
I'm not sure what is meant by money savers re restaurants, but most dinners were between 18 and 25.00 at restaurants near the hotel. Don't do the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in one day. Too exhausting because of long lines.
