“The Intercontinental New York Barclay's prime Midtown location places guests within easy reach of Rockefeller Center and Times Square, though its meticulously kept rooms and attentive housekeeping offer a serene escape. This historic hotel, one of New York's grand dames since 1926, distinguishes itself with personalized service and versatile event spaces designed for both intimate gatherings and grand occasions. I find the blend of historic charm and modern luxury particularly appealing, with thoughtful touches like the Club InterContinental elevating the experience.”

The gym included quality equipment. I counted three treadmills there and also two stationary bikes. The room had two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. Housekeeping provided service daily, and they kept the room clean.

It was slightly inconvenient.
