Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man is traveling and has stayed at a hotel, and he hears the call to prayer, is it obligatory for him to go down to the mosque and pray there, or is it permissible for him to pray in his room, combining and shortening the prayer?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to leave the congregation while he hears the adhan. He should move from his room and go to pray with the congregation because he hears the adhan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam)

Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except for those who have an excuse.
من سمع النداء فلم يأته فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
