Struggling with array of markers for Google Maps API

I started to list my markers individually for my Google Map, but quickly realised this was inefficient. I have tried to create an array to put the markers onto my map, but it is not showing anything, can you see where I have gone wrong?

function initialize() {
        var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(52.474, -1.868);

        var myOptions = {

            center: latlng,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
        };

        var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
        var image = 'i/hotel-map-pin.png';

        var hotels = [
            ['ibis Birmingham Airport', 52.452656, -1.730548, 4],
            ['ETAP Birmingham Airport', 52.452527, -1.731644, 3],
            ['ibis Birmingham City Centre', 52.475162, -1.897208, 2]
        ];

        for (var i = 0; i < hotels.length; i++) {
            var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: hotels[1],
                map: map,
                icon: image,
                title: hotels[0],
                zIndex: hotels[2]
            });
        }
    }

Thanks.

In your loop you are accessing the hotels array at fixed indexes (1, 0 & 2) rather than the array elements at index i:

  for (var i = 0; i < hotels.length; i++) {
        var hotel = hotels [i]
        var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            position: new google.maps.LatLng (hotel[1], hotel[2]),
            map: map,
            icon: image,
            title: hotel[0],
            zIndex: hotel[3]
        });
    }

Here is a working example with the fix.

Here's the JSFiddle Demo:

First of all you are not accessing your hotels array correctly. It should be hotels[i][0] for title hotels[i][1] and hotels[i][2] for lat and lng and hotels[i][3] for z-index. Secondly, position takes the google.maps.LatLng object with lat and lng as the param.

function initialize() {
    var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(52.474, -1.868);

    var myOptions = {
        zoom: 11,
        center: latlng,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };

    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
    var image = 'i/hotel-map-pin.png';

    var hotels = [
        ['ibis Birmingham Airport', 52.452656, -1.730548, 4],
        ['ETAP Birmingham Airport', 52.452527, -1.731644, 3],
        ['ibis Birmingham City Centre', 52.475162, -1.897208, 2]
        ];

     for (var i = 0; i < hotels.length; i++) {
         var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
             position: new google.maps.LatLng(hotels[i][1], hotels[i][2]),
             map: map,
           //  icon: image,
             title: hotels[i][0],
             zIndex: hotels[i][3]
         });
     }
}

window.onload = initialize;
