The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue
Midtown grandeur between Bryant Park and the Empire State Building
About this hotel
The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue is a five-star property in Midtown, between Bryant Park and the Empire State Building, rated 9.2 out of 10 by recent guests. It sits between Bryant Park and the Empire State Building, which shapes the character of the stay more than any single amenity does. For a DreamWorks Water Park trip, this is honestly a New York City base rather than an on-site stay: American Dream and the Meadowlands sit across the Hudson, reached from here by NJ Transit bus, subway plus PATH, or a drive through the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel. Families traveling with toddlers or teens will find the neighbourhood itself does real work either side of the water park day, with restaurants, transit connections, and city sightseeing all close enough to fill a full day without ever touching a taxi. On balance, sitting directly between Bryant Park and the Empire State Building is the strongest single fact, and it makes the city half of the trip easy to fill.

Our take
This suits families wanting a genuinely central Midtown address, with Bryant Park and the Empire State Building both within easy reach. It suits fewer travelers on a tight budget, since the rate here reflects a five-star Fifth Avenue address. Book directly for the room configuration you need rather than relying on generic photos, since suite layouts vary more than star rating suggests across this list.
- ✓Build an Empire State Building visit into the city half of your trip, since it sits close by.
- ✓Use the Bryant Park side for an easy morning walk before your bus toward the Meadowlands.
- ✓Book ahead during school holidays, since Fifth Avenue five-star inventory is limited.

Why guests love itSitting between Bryant Park and the Empire State Building meant a family staying here for a DreamWorks Water Park trip could fill a full city day on foot without needing a single taxi. The five-star service made the two nights bracketing the water park visit feel like a genuine holiday rather than a logistics exercise. The room configuration ended up mattering more than the neighbourhood itself for keeping two different bedtimes on track during the trip.
