Hotels Around the World Are Live Streaming Their Views to Make You Feel Like You’re on Vacation
Now is the time to stay home. The messaging from health experts and political leaders is clear. For now, we must hunker down and stop the spread of the coronavirus. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t still experience a bit of wanderlust right from the couch.
Museums around the globe are offering virtual tours of their best exhibits, Broadway is streaming past shows, and the Metropolitan Opera is offering encore performances online. And now, there’s one more place to find inspiration: Hotel live cams.
All over the globe, hotels are offering stunning views to people who need to escape even for just a few minutes. Here are five hotel live streams that will help you get away from it all right now.
Malibu Beach Inn: Malibu, California
Located on the Pacific Ocean, the Malibu Beach Inn is a true California heaven. The hotel offers in-person and virtual guests panoramic ocean views where they could spot a whale or two swimming by at any time. Though the hotel is offering up Malibu’s beautiful scenery via its live webcam, pointing out directly from the hotel lobby. And, when you’re ready to travel again, it’s happy to set up one of its 47 perfectly appointed rooms for you.

Hotel Del Coronado: Coronado, California
The Hotel Del Coronado explains its view best: “Crashing waves. Ocean breezes. Beaming sunshine. Our live beach cams offer a glimpse of the breathtaking views from Hotel del Coronado.”
The hotel located in San Diego is in the perfect spot for a webcam thanks to its location right on the sandy beach at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Maybe even put the hotel’s webcam up on your television so you can feel like you’re at the beach all day long.

The Inbal: Jerusalem, Israel
The Inbal in Jerusalem offers up one of the most wide-ranging webcam views on the internet. The hotel is ideally located on top of a hill overlooking Jerusalem’s Liberty Bell Park and the Old City, giving viewers a view for miles on end. Just as you can unwind in person in one of its 335 rooms, or in its deluxe spa, you can also unwind by pouring a glass of wine and staring off into the view.

Le Barthelemy Hotel & Spa: St. Barths
Le Barthelemy Hotel & Spa is thinking a little differently when it comes to streaming into your home. Rather than a video, the hotel recorded the sounds of the sea, an audio loop that was recorded at the Natures Reserve located in front of the hotel in Grand-Cul-de-Sac. The serene natural sounds are the perfect backdrop to a daily meditation or yoga practice while at home. Don’t worry. Soon enough, you’ll be back at it traveling the world and listening to these beautiful sounds in St. Barths in person.
