      Even though you can’t check into most luxury hotels right now, you can use them as beautiful backdrops for your next Zoom meeting.

      Hold your next call from a lavish presidential suite in Beverly Hills, a pool with vineyard-dotted hills in Napa or a breathtaking beach in Mexico’s Riviera Maya with these wanderlust-inducing scenes.

      Scroll below for a list of free Zoom backgrounds (if you need help swapping them in, click here).

      Wynn Las Vegas and Encore at Wynn Las Vegas

      Pose among the identical bronze glass, curved facades of these sister properties or opt for a more leafy, flower-studded affair in Wynn’s atrium.

      Bask in white sand and sun at this beachfront hotel. Among the 10 backdrops, we favor the dreamy waterfront palapa, the close-up of the tranquil Willow Stream Spa pool and the pristine beach shot.

      The Inn & Club at Harbour Town, Hilton Head

      Transport yourself to Hilton Head with a series of scenes. Try a pastel sunset along the Calibogue Sound, the 18th hole on PGA Tour favorite Harbour Town Golf Links or Harbour Town’s iconic red-and-white-striped lighthouse.

      Soak up the sun’s hazy disappearing rays from the charming Four-Star hotel’s alluring outdoor pool with Napa Valley’s rolling hills off in the distance.

      Montage Hotels & Resorts

      Travel to the mountains of Park City, Utah (Montage Deer Valley); palm-tree-studded Maui (Montage Kapalua Bay); the sapphire waters of the Pacific (Montage Laguna Beach); a private penthouse pool in Los Cabos (Montage Los Cabos); or a charming Southern porch (Montage Palmetto Bluff).

      Sit in front of photo of a gondolier in a black-and-white striped shirt paddling in the canal at The Venetian or go for a more real-time feel with a gondola video from The Palazzo.

      Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Center

      It may not be happy hour, but zip up to the 60th floor of North America’s tallest hotel to sit in front of its airy, gleaming black stone bar, JG SkyHigh.

      Viceroy L’Ermitage Beverly Hills

      Take your next conference meeting from this Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star hotel’s glamorous Presidential Suite with a white marble fireplace, periwinkle sofas and a sparkling lighting fixture (there are regular and mirrored options).

      ARIA Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa, Las Vegas

      Put Vegas on display with nighttime images of these MGM resorts. Illuminated hearts and “Hope” in lights lend the positivity we could all use right now.

      Jade Mountain Resort, St. Lucia

      Use these backgrounds to pretend your home office is in one of the famed resort’s three-walled suites and that when the call is over, you’ll plunge into your private pool at gaze at the Pitons.
