Can a hotel booking API show how far each hotel is from the places my customer needs to visit?

Yes, a hotel booking API can often help show how close a hotel is to an airport, attraction, business area or other place that matters to your customer. This can make it easier to compare suitable hotels without checking every address separately.

The information available depends on the hotel supplier and the details returned through the API. Some suppliers provide an accurate hotel location that can be used to calculate distance, while others may provide only an address or a general area. A map service may also be needed if you want to show the route, driving distance or expected travel time.

Distances should be presented clearly because a straight line distance is not the same as the distance by road. Travel time can also change because of traffic, transport options and local conditions. For this reason, the result should help with the search rather than be treated as a guaranteed journey time.

Check which location details your chosen hotel suppliers provide, then decide whether your booking page should show distance, a map or both.
