A two-minute walk in San Antonio separates a converted 19th-century brewery from a former glass factory that now holds two Michelin-starred restaurants. Five minutes away in Edinburgh, a 19th-century church-turned-hotel sits close to a room full of Scottish cheese counters and chef-led kitchens. Food halls have become destination dining in their own right, not just a stop between sights, and in cities across the United States and the United Kingdom, a number of luxury hotels now put travelers within an easy walk of one.
