Intercontinental number two in Manhattan

MANHATTAN has seen the arrival of the InterContinental New York Times Square, the largest hotel to open in downtown New York since 2002 and only the second ‘Intercon’ to open in New York.  Located on 8th Avenue and 44th Street, just west of Times Square itself, the 36-floor hotel has 607 guestrooms, 25 Panoramic Avenue Suites and a 2,700sq ft presidential suite.  An outstanding feature of the property is a courtyard garden in the lobby with a pool, ten meeting rooms with 10,000sq ft of space and a 4,000sq ft ballroom.  All rooms feature a 42-inch flat panel HDTV, a work area with a touch screen free wi-fi and an extra large bathroom with a walk-in rain shower.  The Intercontinental New York Barclay was built in Art Deco style in 1926 and sits overlooking Central Park. www.ichotelsgroup.com/intercontinental
