InterContinental New York Barclay Hotel is a historic luxury hotel in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. ==History== In 1926, the Vanderbilt family funded the building of The Barclay, a luxury hotel in Manhattan.〔(AOL-Travel )〕 The New York Central Railroad built the hotel on air rights of its subsidiary the New York State Realty and Terminal Company and it was known to be elegant, glamorous and popular in social circles.〔(TLC-Magazine )〕 The Barclay was designed by the architects Cross & Cross who also designed Tiffany & Co.〔(InterContinental Barclay Fun Facts )〕 In 1931, after the completion of Grand Central Terminal, the InterContinental Barclay got power from hydraulic tanks in the basement of Grand Central.〔(TLC magazine )〕 Twelve years later, in 1938, Cornell Club of New York took over the entire third floor. Ivy League Schools have used The Barclay as well.〔The Cornell Club of New York〕 In 1978, InterContinental Hotels purchased The Barclay from Loews Hotels which had bid on hotel assets of The Penn Central Corporation (ex- New York Central Railroad) which operated four Grand Central City hotels through their Realty Hotel Group one of which was The Barclay. The hotel went through a $32 million, four year renovation and became the Hotel InterContinental. Another restoration in 1995 restored the lobby and public areas and cost $20 million.
