hotl

Use hotl for CLI-only Google Hotels queries. It is useful for quick trip

planning, shell workflows, and agent tasks that need structured hotel results.

Install

Install with pipx when you want hotl available as a standalone CLI:

pipx install hotl

Or install with pip in the current Python environment:

python -m pip install hotl

Verify the command is available:

hotl --version

Commands

Search hotels:

hotl search "boston" --check-in 2026-07-22 --check-out 2026-07-26 --max-results 5

JSON output:

hotl search "tokyo hotels" --check-in 2026-07-22 --check-out 2026-07-26 --format json

Fetch details for a hotel from a prior result:

hotl details "ENTITY_KEY_FROM_SEARCH" --check-in 2026-07-22 --check-out 2026-07-26 --format json

Search and fetch details for top results:

hotl enrich "paris hotels" --check-in 2026-09-01 --check-out 2026-09-04 --max-hotels 3 --format json

Notes

• entity_key is an opaque Google Hotels token from a search result. Use it

immediately with hotl details; do not treat it as a permanent hotel ID.

• Use --format json when another tool or agent needs structured data.
• Common filters: --stars, --sort-by LOWEST_PRICE, --amenity WIFI,

--brand HILTON, --price-min, --price-max, --free-cancellation.
