How to Find The Perfect Hotel
with Google Maps

At its core, it remains the perfect replacement for old-fashioned paper maps, but thanks to the wonders of the digital age, it's become so much more. With a few swipes of your finger, you can travel to any country, almost any street, and discover the ratings and opinions about many businesses.

An area that's hugely benefited from Google Maps is holidaymaking, and with this in mind, we've taken the time to produce a handy guide on how to find the perfect hotel for your next vacation.

Where Are We Off To?

The first part of any vacation, is the planning, and this is where Google Maps shines! Its powerful search function can find almost anything that you might want to do, but when you’re stuck for ideas, it also has your back. Using the Google feature ‘Things To Do,’ you can explore a detailed map of all the popular destinations within a particular area! Simply type ‘Things To Do’ followed by your destination to take advantage of this feature! Top tip: use the ‘Things To Do’ feature in areas that you might be traveling through, or that you wouldn’t expect to find interesting sites to discover those hidden gems off the beaten path.

Budget?

The budget of a vacation can often define the type of destination you visit. But whether you're traveling on a budget or you’ve got a bit of money to enjoy, the Google Maps price feature can help you out. Simply type ‘restaurants’ into the area you wish to eat, and you will find all available places, then those results can be sorted by price. When it comes to landmark or attraction prices, Google Maps provides links directly to their websites where you can easily navigate to their prices. Top tip: Use the ‘Popular Times’ feature to see when places are busier; off-peak can often mean lower prices!
