Known originally as the Barclay, InterContinental the Barclay New York opened in November 1926 and immediately established its reputation for exclusivity and distinction. While being one of the oldest hotels in the area, it is also one of the most elegant and glamorous hotels close to Park Avenue. Acquired by InterContinental Hotels in 1978, the hotel changed its name four years later. This year the legendary hotel will celebrate its 80th anniversary. So why not celebrate as well with an Intercontinental short break.
