Google map api - autocomplete for hotels - google-maps

Question

I try to make input field with google map api aucomplete but to search only for hotels...
I try:
<script type="text/javascript">
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', function () {
var places = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(
(
document.getElementById('hotel')), {
types: ['hotel']
});
// var places = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(document.getElementById('hotel'));
google.maps.event.addListener(places, 'place_changed', function () {
var place = places.getPlace();
var address = place.formatted_address;
var phone = place.formatted_phone_number;
var name = place.name;
var url = place.website;
$('#address').val(address);
$('#phone').val(phone);
$('#url').val(url);
$('#hotel').val(name);
});
});
</script>
but dont work... What can be a solution here?

This is from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-autocomplete-hotelsearch
// This example uses the autocomplete feature of the Google Places API.
// It allows the user to find all hotels in a given place, within a given
// country. It then displays markers for all the hotels returned,
// with on-click details for each hotel.
// This example requires the Places library. Include the libraries=places
// parameter when you first load the API. For example:
// <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places">

Answer 2

Unfortunately, this isn't possible.
The Place Autocomplete API doesn't support filtering to only hotel results. The list of supported types for Autocomplete filtering is documented on the Google Developers site: Types supported in place autocomplete requests. hotel is not in the list.
