Recent Intercontinental The Barclay Review: "Har besA¶kt NY ca 15 ggr, detta var fA¶rsta gA¥ngen vi bodde pA¥ The Barclay. LA¤get A¤r helt perfekt, nA¤ra till allt vare sig det gA¤ller shopping, restauranger eller sevA¤rdheter. 5-stjA¤rnig service, vA¤nlig och hjA¤lpsam personal. Bra storlek pA¥ rummen som har kaffemaskin & minibar. Stilen A¤r traditionell, bekvA¤m och lite gammaldags, som vi gillar pA¥ ett fA¶rstaklasshotell.  Mycket vA¤lstA¤dat och rent. Vi bor gA¤rna hA¤r igen och kan verkligen rekommendera det till andra. NA¥gra tips i nA¤rheten: Ta en drink i lobbybaren pA¥ Waldorf Astoria eller baren pA¥ W Hotel, vA¤l vA¤rda ett besA¶k, ligger bA¥da i kvarteret bredvid. Grand Central Station ligger ett par kvarter bort, dA¤r finns Campbell Apartement som serverar utmA¤rkta drinkar i en fascinerande miljA¶, testa! NA¥gra kvarter uppA¥t pA¥ Lexington Ave finns bla Bloomingdales med bra shopping."

Overview
Built in 1926 by the New York Central Railroad, InterContinental - The Barclay retains much of its neo-Federal design, combining historical style with modern amenities. If you're a true history buff, be sure to visit the majestic Grand Central Terminal, within a 10-minute walk of the hotel. Opened in 1913, the station has undergone numerous renovations--including the addition of a dining concourse and 50 shops. Continue the architectural tour with a visit to the neo-Gothic St. Patrick's Cathedral, also within a 10-minute walk of the Barclay. Just 2 blocks farther, you can ice-skate at Rockefeller Center's famed outdoor rink in winter, or shop at the Saks Fifth Avenue's flagship department store. In the evening, see a show at Radio City Music Hall--a short taxi ride away.

The perfect spot for a pre-theater dinner, Barclay Bar & Grill features classic Continental and Mediterranean cuisine (be sure to sample the popular antipasti bar). After a night on the town, sip a signature martini in the clubby Barclay Bar. For night owls (and jet-lagged travelers), room service is available 24 hours a day. Don't worry about overindulging: the Barclay offers a complimentary 24-hour health club. Wireless Internet access is also complimentary in the hotel's grand lobby.

At the end of a day of meetings or sightseeing, you'll be relieved to sink into one of the Barclay's famed beds, which feature feather duvets and pillows. Unwind with a movie, or dock your iPod on the iHome clock radio and listen to your favorite tunes. Check email with wired high-speed Internet access (surcharge). Thoughtful touches include nightly turndown service.

A short guide to Midtown

Some of NYC’s best-known landmarks are north of 14th and south of 59th—or Midtown Manhattan. Here, couples kiss atop the Empire State Building. Grand Central Station’s opal-faced clock is a famed meeting spot. While fortunes are made on Wall Street, fortunes are spent at Fifth Avenue’s shops. Other highlights include Madison Square Garden, the United Nations, and the Garment and Diamond districts.

Recreation

Shed the stress of the city (and maybe a pound or 2) with a workout in the Barclay's complimentary health club. Open 24 hours, this 1,500-square-foot facility provides free weights, strength-training equipment, and cardio machines with individual TV screens. Personal training is available for a surcharge. Relax sore muscles in the club's sauna and steam room, or rejuvenate with a reflexology or aromatherapy session (surcharge).

Dining at Intercontinental The Barclay

Barclay Bar & Grill - Understated but elegant, this restaurant serves classic Continental and Mediterranean dishes (the antipasti bar is a favorite).
