Working Remotely While Traveling

With only a few weeks of vacation a year, we’re all looking for ways to capitalize on that precious time off. But what if you didn’t have to do that? At HBL, all of our properties are equipped with high-speed internet so you can work from anywhere! Imagine working a few hours in the morning, then heading off to the beach for a lunch break. We can’t think of anything better!

How to Pick a Property

If you’re planning on working remotely on vacation, you should pick a property that has adequate space for you to work. We recommend looking for properties that have an extra room you won’t be using that you can dedicate to your “remote office.” We also recommend that you ensure the property has high-speed internet. Some will mention that they have internet, but you should make sure it’s strong enough to handle everything you need to work remotely.
