Glamping Under the Summer Stars
InterContinental Barclay partnered with Starlight Slumber Party to set up an in-room glamping experience in the Harold S. Vanderbilt Penthouse. Guests can choose from sleeping out on the large private terrace or in the comfort of the suite. The set up comes with themed tents, pillows, fairy lights, Champagne and a cheese board for adult campers or milk and cookies for the kids.

In honor of the hotel’s Sustainable Hospitality program, travelers who book the B Green offer can enjoy EcoLux offerings while helping the World Sustainability Foundation. For every room booked, the foundation will plant 10 trees, and guests are welcomed with a card on seeded paper that can be planted to grow into local flowers. Guests will also enjoy a package-free local amenity featuring Barclay Honey from the rooftop apiary and two CitiBike day passes to help reduce their carbon footprint while visiting.
