Well-Placed

"The hotel is well-placed for bars, restaurants, malls, etc..."
"The hotel is well-placed for visiting bars, restaurants, malls, etc..."

I have seen versions of the first sentence, but is it slightly ambiguous, since there is no indication as to what could be done with respect to "bars, restaurants, malls,..."? Could the second sentence be better?

To me it is purely a matter of style. If you feel better writing the second sentence then that is better for you, I agree it more concise but the other meaning isn't construed.
