How to use Google Hotel Finder tool to increase your online visibility?
Google is not entering the OTA space and is not becoming an online travel agency. All bookings from the Google Hotel Finder take place on the hotel website or OTA website. You no longer need to open a new browser tab for each hotel result, and then go hunting around for pictures. When you select a hotel in Hotel Finder, you are shown a collage of images, mages, Google Places reviews, reviews, and key information within the list.
How do travelers benefit from Google Hotel Finder? A dynamic mapping tool that allows them to see hotels selected according to
location (Google Google has addressed this via the insertion of a Google Map in the results pages) and area popularity
the best user experience price availability.
What do hotels earn with this? - In return these hotels get an increased visibility. => OTAs must adapt to changes in behavior. (I have seen a hotel where you had only the property’s own website to book, no OTA )
Winners of the new Google Hotel Finder?
The OTAs because they are dominating the pricing menus in each hotel’s Google Places page.
The major hotel brand: Once they implement the Google API and start pushing real time availability and pricing information to Google, it becomes another direct online channel to pursue.
Who are the losers of Google Hotel Finder? 
The OTAs because guests check a hotel on for instance Expedia but they do not book there. They book on the hotel branded website.
