InterContinental New York Barclay(1)

InterContinental New York Barclay | InterContinental's Century - Old Facade in Manhattan 🏙️ 🎢🍃 In Midtown, standing the test of time for over a century 🏨 Hotel: InterContinental New York Barclay 🏡 Room Type: 1 King Premium Not long ago, the new JPMorgan Chase building was first lit up, and I had the chance to write about this old neighbor at its feet. 📍 Past and Present The hotel's predecessor opened 99 years ago and was originally part of the New York Terminal City project. It was an era when the city was still growing wildly: 🎢🍃 Downtown space was cramped and land prices were high, with ground - level railway tracks hindering northward expansion. New York urgently needed a new urban engine. 🎢🍃 From then on, with the current Grand Central Terminal as the core, hotels, office buildings, and clubs were planned as a whole, and this was also the starting point of the Barclay Hotel. In the tide of history, the Barclay gradually became surrounded by steel and skyscrapers. By the 1970s, it was wholly acquired by InterContinental and became an undisputed flagship project. It has also attracted celebrities such as Hemingway and Clinton to stay because of its rich history. #BullishFortune 🌟
