My hotel connection being slow isn't going to make the remote computer any less capable of anything. You're telling me that I can only go as fast as my hotel connection. You can't tell me that the remote machine is going to slow down the the speed of my hotel connection.

If I want to tell the remote computer from here to upload several gigs of data, download 400 different files and open/load 40 tabs in a browser (all at once), I can..

Think of it this way:

Let's say I have no control of the remote computer. I call someone there where it is and instruct them to upload several gigs of data, download 400 different files and open/load 40 tabs in a browser

I can do that

Now why couldn't I instruct the remote machine to do all of that from here, so long as I have enough bandwidth here at the hotel that I can receive the video and send the commands?

The hotel connection is not going to make the remote machine slower. I don't expect for the remote machine to make my hotel connection any faster. They're completely independent of each other!!
