World Travel Awards named the Barclay the "Best Business Hotel" in 2003, 2004 and 2005, so it has a long reputation for excellence.

Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?

Intercontinental The Barclay New York gets very high marks for quality of service, rooms and general level of hospitality. It's a wonderful hotel that's very reminiscent of traditional grand hotels. Since this is the first true luxury hotel built in New York City, it has a lot of old world flavor. Heads of state have stayed at the Barclay when in town, including Nelson Mandela and former French President Francois Mitterand. This hotel is a tony establishment that is great for business people and those that aren't into the glitzy, showy side of New York City. Read our customer reviews?
