About ことにはならない
ことにはならない is an expression which is often seen at the end of sentences when the speaker wants to emphasize that something said earlier is not necessarily the case. Often, structures like ても 'even if' or からといって 'just because' will appear in the first half of the sentence, before ことにはならない will simply highlight that 'it will not be that (B)'. As a grouping, the whole expression is often interpreted as 'just because (A), it doesn't mean that (B)'.
ことにはならない is a construction of こと, に, は, and the negated form of the う-Verb なる 'to become'. In this way, the literal meaning is that 'just because of (A), (B) is not something that will come about'.
Although not required, the (B) expression may be emphasized even further by the inclusion of という before ことにはならない.

Hello
Is there any explanation why all examples use という (except 泊まることにはならない) ?
And what’s the difference between the ones that use という and not?
e.g. …一流ホテルに泊まることにはならない vs …一流ホテルに泊まるということにはならない

Basically, by adding という the speaker makes it more objective.Plus it is easy to conjugate. Especially when it comes to nouns and なadjectives.
Generally, it is much more common for という to be added before ことにはならない or わけではない in sentence with からといって than not be added. You can think of it as very common pattern or rule of thumb.
