As a freelancer, I don’t remember the last holiday I took where my laptop was left at home but I’m grateful I can work from anywhere. Let’s face it, there are worse places to check your emails than a sun lounger and I would give anything to be creating content while drinking from a fresh coconut right now. Working remotely around the globe is easy with the advent of reliable internet fibre, video conferencing, and other digital tools the modern freelancer has become accustomed to. I wanted to share five incredible hotels around the world that make working a pleasure.
Before You Set Off
Firstly, travelling is tricky right now but easier for some than others, location dependant of course. When leaving for your destination, you’ll need to ensure you have all your affairs in order to travel safely. Check Staysure for travel insurance so that you know you are covered for any emergency situations abroad. Staysure now offers single trip travel insurance that includes COVID-19 cover at no additional cost. Besides your insurance, double-check that you have all the documentation needed to make a successful working or remote working trip easy and set client expectations should you be moving to another time zone.
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel has cleverly included ‘workcation’ packages for the discerned traveller who wishes to work and relax at the same time. With all luxury amenities available on-site, such as a gym, high-speed Wi-Fi, and complimentary refreshments, you can put in a hard day’s work without missing a workout routine and a great night’s sleep!
The Hamilton Hotel in Washington D.C.
In the heart of downtown Washington D.C. lies the Hamilton Hotel that provides the best home away from your office you could want. With a Starbucks Breakfast Bundle included in your stay and room use for work, you will find remote working a dream. Take a walk around the neighbourhood in your free time to discover the rich political and artistic history D.C. has in store for you. The diverse and rich cultural history that surrounds this hotel is bound to delight avid historians and travellers alike.
The Belmond Jimbaran Puri Hotel in Bali
If a tropical work environment is better suited to your needs, The Belmond Jimbaran Puri Hotel in Bali is perfectly suited to your Indian Ocean dreams. Set on the beach, you can work to the sound of waves crashing mere feet away while working from your discreet terrace. With a Spa retreat and delightful dining choices, your stay in paradise will suit your work hard, play hard ethic.
The Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas
The Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is built for work and relaxing pleasure. Luxury accommodation with all the business tools you require for a great day of productivity is offered for your convenience. Choose between the various room options and take in the sights of the stunning Bellagio Fountains while you work. Their hotel rooms are set up to optimise your stay by including physical and emotional wellbeing packages to make your stay even better!
The Queen Victoria Hotel in Cape Town
What better way to work remotely than in a hotel nestled in the famous harbour of Cape Town? With the Atlantic sea in front of you and Table Mountain behind you, what better way to earn a living while staying in the lap of luxury? The Queen Victoria has been recognised as one of the top 25 luxury hotels in South Africa and it isn’t difficult to see why. With a rich cultural heritage surrounding the hotel, and the famous waterfront on the hotel’s doorstep, you would be hard-pressed to find another exciting hotel in which to work from than here.
Remote workers and freelancers are spoilt for choice when it comes to luxury hotels around the world that offer more than just a business solution. Find the best location for you and enquire about working stays at the hotels in the area. Many luxury establishments have packages ideally suited to working travellers or freelancers. Your ideal luxury work-cation is just a click away.
