Is there a word or idiom that refers to "short distance", other than "walkable" and "a stone's throw"?
Is there a word or an idiom that refers to a short distance to walk to reach the destination? Something more elegant that can replace the following sentences?
Eg: The hotel is within walkable distance. The hotel is a stone's throw (away) from here.
The hotel is within walking distance of here.
would be a natural phrasing.
Spitting distance: very close (Cambridge)
I'm not sure about "more elegant" though. Apparently this might be a British term.
I would say it's just around the corner (even if it's not literally around a corner).
Oxford has this definition:
(just) around (or round) the corner
PHRASE
Very near.
‘there's a pharmacy around the corner’
The Cambridge Dictionary defines it thusly:
(just) around the corner
not far away, or going to happen soon:
There's a great restaurant just around the corner.
I'm feeling a little depressed at the moment, but I'm sure good times are just around the corner.
