How far is the walk from the Westin-Galleria to the Embassy Suites? I%26#39;m attending a convention that will be hosted by the Westin but decided to find a hotel away from the convention traffic. Also, what restaraunts are in the area?

Canyon Cafe and Maggiano%26#39;s are both nice and fun
Staying at Embassy-Conference at Westin
If your convention starts after 10AM, you can easily walk to the Westin-Galleria by entering Macy%26#39;s at the corner of Sage and Alabama. This is the older Macy%26#39;s in Galleria 3, and so you would have to go through Saks Fifth Avenue to get to Galleria 2 where the Westin-Galleria is located. If it%26#39;s a nice day, just walk around the church that%26#39;s between the Embassy Suites and the Old Macy%26#39;s and you%26#39;ll see the Westin-Galleria. Otherwise, that Embassy Suites does have a shuttle service to the Galleria and can tell you where they drop off and pick up. Do verify that your conference is at Westin-Galleria rather than Westin Oaks. We do have 2 Westin hotels here, and most of the conferences are at Westin-Galleria, but on odd occassions there are stuff held at Westin Oaks.
In terms of food, in the Galleria the big restaurants are Cheesecake Factory, Ninfa%26#39;s Tex-mex, Chili%26#39;s, and Benigans. Canyon Cafe and Grand Lux Cafe on the other side of Westheimer are good. If you have a car, then the Original Pappasito%26#39;s on Richmond, as well as a bunch of other restaurants in Highland Village, and even prepared foods at Central Market (grocery).
