Have stayed there a few years ago. 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.

How far of a walk to the beach from the hotel?

Three or four blocks. An easy walk.

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.

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.

There are also some nice trails in the State Park right across the street.

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.

Had breakfast once. Your right good but very expensive. The next time we had breakfast sandwiches at a nearby Starbucks.
