I'm not sure why you would attempt such a query with nothing but OSM
data. There are multiple websites that specialize in this type of
thing and are far better at it than OSM will ever be because they have
direct interaction with hotels to handle the volatility in prices,
room availability and other considerations that are entirely outside
of the scope of OSM.

hotels.com, orbitz.com, kayak.com, priceline.com, travelocity.com, etc, etc

There could certainly be interaction between these sites and OSM. But
OSM is not a travel site and I would never use it as such.
