Walking times are estimates at about 3 miles an hour, not measured times; a drive is a distance only. Source: OpenStreetMap contributors, routed with GraphHopper (GraphHopper 11.0, https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright, map data of 2026-10-02), computed 2026-10-03. Walking route on OpenStreetMap streets and paths (GraphHopper foot profile) from the hotel's map location to the landmark's map point: the shortest total of the route to a walkable way near the point plus the straight gap from each end to the network. A landmark with one main entrance on record is routed to that entrance, and the straight distance from the entrance to the map point is added. Computed for hotels within 1.5 straight-line miles. The time is the engine's estimate, not a measured time. ## Questions about walking ### Which hotel is the shortest walk to Griffith Observatory?
