Hotel and location:

The InterContinental New York Barclay is a luxurious 4 star hotel in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The elegant hotel was originally constructed as part of the Grand Central Terminal expansion and opened its doors in 1926 as The Barclay, with the property becoming a railroad hotel that was built to service well-heeled men and woman travelling to New York City. The hotel has recently reopened in spring 2016 after an ambitious $180 million restoration, and now offers modern touches to its signature Federalist style décor. Times Square is just a 15 minute walk from the hotel, as is Broadway and the theatre district, making it an ideal choice for those taking in a performance on a world famous stage. Many of New York City`s most popular attractions are also within walking distance from the hotel, with the Chrysler Building a 6 minute walk away and the Empire State Building just a 20 minute walk away.
