Did You Know?
  • New York: A City of Business

    A 2019 study from the Business Traveler revealed New York to be the top destination for global business travel — for its fourth year in a row. Beyond being an economic powerhouse featuring every industry from banking to technology, the corporate atmosphere has created a work-hard-play-hard environment. If you stay at InterContinental New York Barclay®, you'll be able to relax amid sophisticated city views in the same hotel where you field calls, attend conferences, or host important business meetings.

  • Reaching New Heights

    The Edge is more than a contemporary observation deck from which to enjoy views of New York City — it's also the highest outdoor sky deck in the whole of the Western Hemisphere. It features cutting-edge engineering to suspend 7,500 feet of leaning deck space that provides a unique panoramic view of Manhattan's skyline. Those who aren't afraid of heights can get a thrill by looking down 100 stories from the glass floor.

  • Bridging Histories

    Though the Brooklyn Bridge is known for its gorgeous views and unique architecture, there's even more to it than meets the eye. Constructed in 1869, the Brooklyn Bridge is even older than the Tower Bridge in London. P.T. Barnum, an American showman, made a public demonstration of the bridge's stability during its debut by parading 21 elephants across it. Pedestrians, bikers, and drivers alike continue to enjoy the East River views from this historical suspension bridge.

  • The Birthplace of Large-Scale Public Parks

    Central Park is not only famous for its role in countless T.V. shows and movies, but for holding the title as America's first major public park to be landscaped. Originally an area of uneven terrain made up of bluffs and swamps, various designers came together in the 19th century and employed numerous architectural and landscaping techniques to create the rolling meadows and bridges Central Park is known for. Today, visitors and residents alike can enjoy scenic walks, concerts, sporting events, and other fun activities within the beautiful landscape of the park.

What to Pack
Comfortable Footwear
New York City is best explored on foot. We recommend bringing two pairs of shoes; a comfortable pair for walking and a stylish pair for the evening.
Dress Code
Given the array of diverse restaurants and bars in the city, expect to find varying dress codes. We recommend bringing a jacket as most flagship restaurants prefer or require jackets. Our Concierge team will be delighted to provide dress code information as you are deciding on which restaurants or bars to explore during your stay.
Shopping
New York lives up to its nickname, the Shopping Capital of the World. We recommend bringing an extra bag - consider collapsable ones - to take home your treasures.
