I'm trying to create a map which has already highlighted a place on the Map with in the top left corner the business name, address, reviews etc. If you go here:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/start

And under 'Highlight a place or an address' type the name of a local business, you will see what I mean.

However.. In the API docs I can't find a way to create this type of map! With the places API you can request the places' details, but I can't seem to find how to use those details to create a map like this in the javascript API. What am I missing?

The "highlighted a place on the Map" is a Google Maps feature which is not available in the API. However, you can refer to this workaround for your need
