Using OSMNX to retrieve nearby points of interest

hoping someone can help me?

In summary, I am trying to retrieve nearby points of interest based on a set of given coordinates.

After doing some research, I found a neat function

osmnx.pois.pois_from_point(point, distance=None, amenities=None, custom_settings=None)

That works for pubs, restaurants etc.

However, hotels are not classified amenities, and nor are any other tourism related places.

I found that those are identified with tourism:hotel key/value pair.

Does anyone have an idea of how to retrieve those? I didn't seem to find a function which accepts tourism as a parameter to pass in, nor I could find any way to pass in customer attribute values for filtering.

Thanks in advance!

This is now possible with the latest release (v0.13.0) of OSMnx. The pois module's functions now take a flexible tags argument to query for any points of interest. See the documentation. This code snippet retrieves restaurants, pubs, and hotels around downtown LA:

import osmnx as ox
ox.config(log_console=True, use_cache=True)

tags = {'amenity': ['restaurant', 'pub', 'hotel'],
        'building': 'hotel',
        'tourism': 'hotel'}
gdf = ox.pois_from_point(point=(34.0483, -118.2531), dist=500, tags=tags)
gdf.shape #(109, 59)
