When you land in a strange new city, your first instinct may be to see what there is to do near your hotel.
However, searching Google for nearby attractions can be a hassle if you don't remember your hotel's name or address by heart. That memorization is no longer necessary after today, though -- Google has updated its search engine to use the booking confirmation in your Gmail as a locator.
If you want to look for a late-night diner, all you have to do is ask Google to "show restaurants around my hotel." You can also get directions to or from your accommodations, so you should reach a welcoming bed (or your flight) just a little bit faster.
The addition makes the most sense if you're using voice search in one of Google's mobile apps, but any traveler can give it a spin. - Engadget
