Our advice? You could use you logo as a profile picture and use the cover to showcase what your user are looking for, are you a business hotel, why not showcase your rooms, while a resort hotel will get great results showing the pool or a private beach. Always show your guest what they are looking for ! If you can, a video is a nice touch and will allow you to showcase different part of your hotel at once.
