Expedia has incorporated Google Street View technology to introduce its new product, Expedia Hotel View.
The service combines Google’s technology with Expedia’s hotel data to enable users to pinpoint the exact location of a hotel before booking and see how close it is to attractions.
Customer reviews, hotel pictures and Expedia’s rates will also pop up.
Director online partner marketing Expedia EMEA Alex Gisbert said: “By bringing together in depth information with a broad choice of hotels consumers can take advantage of the thousands of deals that Expedia offers with the reassurance that they have already checked out their holiday accommodation practically at first hand.
“With Expedia Hotel View we are bringing travellers even closer to their destination giving them all the information they need to make travel booking simple and easy.”
