In your javascript transform the data to JSON and set the contentType to "application/json": 

data: JSON.stringify({'hotel':hotel}),
contentType : "application/json",

In your flask function get the JSON using request.json:

@app.route('/getHotels')
def getHotels():
    hotel = request.json['hotel']
    .....
