Every LLM can recommend a hotel. None of them know what tonight's room costs. Google Hotels Scraper API closes that gap: give it a search like "hotels in Lisbon" plus check-in and check-out dates, and it returns one clean JSON row per property, with live nightly and total prices, guest ratings, review counts, star class, amenities, location data, images, and a property token for follow-up lookups.

There is no official Google Hotels API. This Actor reads the public Google Hotels results and hands them to your code or your AI agent as structured data instead.

What you can query

• Any destination search: "hotels in Paris", "Bali resorts", "ski lodges near Salt Lake City"

• Dates and guests: check-in, check-out, adults, children

• Filters: price range, star ratings, amenities, hotel class

• Vacation rentals: flip one parameter and get short-term rentals instead of hotels

• Localization: country (gl), language (hl), and any ISO 4217 currency, so "Tokyo hotels priced in yen" is one parameter away

• Pagination: pull multiple result pages in a single run

Honest limits: it returns prices, ratings, and booking context; it does not book rooms. Prices are what Google Hotels shows for your dates and currency at run time.

Works with MCP (this is the fun part)

Add https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=johnvc/google-hotels-search-scraper to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client and the scraper becomes a tool your agent can call mid-conversation. Ask "find me a 4-star in Lisbon under $180 a night for the first weekend of October" and it quotes real properties with real prices. No scraping code, no API glue.

Pricing

Pay per event on Apify: $0.02 setup per run plus $0.03 per search results page processed, and a free Apify account is enough to try it. A nightly rate-shop of your comp set costs pennies, cheap enough to run on a schedule and build a price history.

Who uses it

Hotel revenue managers rate-shopping their comp set, travel-app builders who need live price data, market analysts tracking rates around events, and AI builders whose travel agents should quote tonight's rates instead of training data.
