Since first opening its doors in 1926, the InterContinental New York Barclay has welcomed countless guests to enjoy a luxurious residential-style experience in the heart of the city. Originally constructed as part of the Grand Central Terminal expansion, The Barclay became one of four notable railroad hotels built to service the well-heeled men and women travelling to New York City. 

Today, the InterContinental New York Barclay remains Manhattan’s preeminent luxury hotel after undergoing the most ambitious restoration in its history. 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 with modern comfort and flexibility introduced to the world in 1926.

Our thoughtfully redesigned guestrooms and suites, furnished in Park Avenue residential-style with meticulous attention to detail, welcome guests to a comfortable living space of idyllic pleasure. Guestrooms provide a tranquil haven with crisp Federalist details and carefully selected local artwork that pay homage to The Barclay’s 1926 legacy. Discover our rooms and suites, including the newly designed and expanded bathrooms, offering an eloquent marriage of modernity and elegance.
