Yes, in most cases you can. Hotel booking APIs usually return the address and the map coordinates of each property alongside the name, the room types and the rate, so those results can be plotted as pins on a map view on your website. Your customer can then see at a glance which hotels sit near the beach, the old town or the office they are visiting, and click a pin to open that hotel and carry on booking.

Many suppliers also let you search around a point rather than a whole city, so you can offer a search for hotels within a short distance of an airport, a railway station or a landmark. That is handy for corporate clients who care more about being close to a meeting venue than about the area name. Whether that kind of search is available, and how the results are ranked, depends on the supplier feeding your hotel content.

There are honest limits worth knowing. The quality of the map pins depends entirely on the data the supplier sends, so a small guest house may sit slightly off its true spot, and a distance shown as walking minutes is an estimate rather than a promise. The map itself comes from a mapping service that sits in your website, which can carry its own usage terms, and whether a map view is included in your portal depends on your plan.

The next step is to tell us which destinations matter most to you and ask us to run a sample search for them, so you can see how complete the coordinates and addresses look before you decide to switch the map view on for your customers.
