We walked to the nearby Galleria Mall for lunch and dinner. Plenty of restaurants and a food court. Also there is a water taxi stop at the hotel. An option would be to go to Las Olas for lunch/dinner. Been a few years but I think I recall places along the ocean front. I think we had pizza at a place there.

smalltimecruiser100 Posted October 11, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2019 How far of a walk to the beach from the hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueHerons Posted October 14, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The hotel is just over the bridge from the beach. Great hotel! Tons of dining right behind you in the Galleria Mall. Seasons 52, Capitol Grill, and PF Changs are three of my favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecookie Posted October 16, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2019 We've stayed at Gallery One several times and highly recommend it. We have been in Ft. Lauderdale in January and it was way too cold to swim in the ocean, but we did walk along the beach. We took a round trip ride on the water taxi getting off and on to explore other areas. We enjoyed a tour of the Bonnet house (https://www.bonnethouse.org/) within walking distance of the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericosmith Posted October 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2019 There are also some nice trails in the State Park right across the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecookie Posted October 16, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Just wanted to add that breakfast at the hotel is very expensive. You might want to eat somewhere else in the morning or pick up some breakfast foods at the nearby grocery store to eat in the morning. You will have a full kitchen in your suite.

Your right good but very expensive. The next time we had breakfast sandwiches at a nearby Starbucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
