Running a Covert Operation Out of a Hotel Room

The covert operative guide to converting a hotel room into a temporary field office to operate from, without raising flags.

When you’re operating in hostile ground or just need a low-profile base for a few days, a hotel room gives you cover and access, if you know how to use it.

Operating from a hotel room is all about minimizing exposure while maximizing control. You’re working in a space designed for convenience, not security. So every decision has to tighten your footprint, not expand it. From how you manage comms to how you move between rooms, your entire presence should blend into the background.
