You\u2019ve never seen a hotel like this before.<\/p>\n

Orbitz is the first travel site to showcase Google Maps’ new aerial perspective<\/a>. This feature gives hotel<\/a>\u00a0shoppers a whole new way to view properties and their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Besides the traditional \u201csatellite\u201d view, customers can zoom into a\u00a0hotel at an angle, seeing both the rooftop and sides of the building. They can rotate around the entire hotel to see it from all perspectives.<\/p>\n

Orbitz has added the aerial perspective to maps for San Diego hotels<\/a> and San Jose hotels<\/a>\u00a0and plans to expand the feature to\u00a0more destinations as they become available. Take it for a spin yourself by clicking the “Map” tab<\/strong> on any hotel, selecting the satellite<\/strong> view, and rotating the ring around the compass<\/strong> to see various perspectives.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick demo featuring the Hilton San Diego Bayfront<\/a>.<\/p>\n
