Many travelers pick hotels based on their proximity to popular attractions. After all, the less time they spend getting to the sights they want to see, the more time they have to spend at the sights. Expedia's robust search engine makes finding hotels near popular attractions easier than ever, and its maps feature makes planning a day of sight-seeing simple. Whether travelers are looking for Adelaide hotels or Melbourne hotels – or for accommodations anywhere else in the world, such as hotels in Hong Kong – Expedia serves as the ultimate holiday-planning and booking tool.

June 2010 – Holiday time is precious. The last thing a traveler wants to do is spend more time getting to a popular attraction than actually enjoying the popular attraction. Expedia's “Near an attraction” search allows a traveler to choose a hotel close to what she wants to see and do. All of a city's major attractions are represented in the travel website's search, and a map accompanies both the search results and each hotel listing, so that a traveler can see exactly where the hotels are in relation to the must-see attraction.

For example, if a traveler has holiday plans that involve Adelaide, she can go to the Adelaide Hotel Guide and begin her search. From there, she simply selects the attraction she wants to stay near. Adelaide Bridge, Brougham Gardens, St. Peter's Cathedral and Victoria Square are just a few of the attractions she can search for Adelaide hotels near. Choosing Victoria Square brings back 45 Adelaide hotels to further explore. The hotels are shown on a map as well as on a list, allowing her to see which hotels are closest to Victoria Square. By clicking into each listing, she finds detailed information about each hotel including room and hotel amenities, dining options on-site, plus nightly rates and additional fees. Expedia's guest ratings and reviews are also helpful when trying to decide between Adelaide hotels near Victoria Square.

Each city's hotel guide offers this proximity search. When looking for Melbourne hotels, a holiday planner finds “Near an attraction” search options such as Brighton Beach, Eureka Tower, Fitzroy Gardens and the Melbourne Aquarium, just to name a few. Again, the map feature allows her to see which Melbourne hotels offer the closest proximity to the must-see attraction. “Near an attraction” search options for hotels in Hong Kong include Gian Buddha, Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens and the Sha Tin Race Course. Planning sight-seeing couldn't be simpler thanks to Expedia's “Near an attraction” search and map feature.

Once a traveler narrows down her list of Adelaide or Melbourne Hotels, or hotels in Hong Kong, to a desired hotel, she can book online or call 1-800-419-1919 seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Flights, cars for hire, holiday packages and tickets to the popular attractions themselves also can be booked through Expedia, and doing so reduces overall holiday costs.
