I will be in NY in June with my 7 yo son. Usually would stay at The Greenwich or Crosby Street if by myself but would like to stay midtown with him. I can't seem to find any commentary here on Langham Place which I note is a LHW. I've walked past it previously and don't mind the location. Room size looks very generous. Any thoughts?

I think Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, The Peninsula, and Ritz-Catlton Central Park would be good choices.

Good value it is most definitely. Especially if you need ample space. Love their Rivolta Carmignani linens.

Langham Place is a good value -- especially Executive Place categories and higher. Executive Places are large Jr. Suite type rooms averaging about 750 sq ft but some rooms feel darker than others. I would always request Fifth Avenue side as rooms on that side tend to be brighter.
Empire State views are only worth it if you are higher than the 20th floor -- you don't realize how massive that building is as most times you are blocks and blocks away viewing it. At the Langham, you are one block away.
The house Maserati is great and does drop offs in a 20 block (give or take) radius of the hotel.
Service was warm and quite caring -- they cared more about how my stay was both at the hotel and in NYC than the Plaza or Peninsula did. At peak times, like all hotels in NYC, service can become a little slow but not disastrously so.
Aside from the Executive Place, I also recommend the Residence Suites for the kitchen and laundry facilities.
Dining at Ai Fiori is very good -- book early as the place sells out nightly.

Suites in the Wythe Hotel in are pretty nice. Terrace. Fantastic views. Nice room. Decent service. No gym or spa. Close to LGA. Williamsburg is pretty happening. Not cheap. Might be my top choice in NYC now.

There's a huge thread with both positives and negatives on this hotel in the Hyatt forum:
