Port Forwarding via Secondary Router?

The situation: a local hotel owner may allow us to mount a
surfcam on the side of his hotel.
Let's say that the camera is accessible via port 1350.
We would like to make it as transparent as possible to the owner.
Instead of having to get his IT guy to set up port forwarding
within the hotel's ISP-connected router, we'd like a situation
where we would supply our own router - with port forwarding
already in place - and just hang the router on the hotel's
network, thus keeping it simple for all concerned.
Is there any way something like this could be made to work? i.e.
somebody from outside the hotel, who knows the hotel's name or IP
addr, can get to our camera without anybody having to mess around
with the hotel's router?

When you connect a device to an existing network, by default it uses
that network's gateway as its window to the world, so I don't see how
you're going to avoid touching the hotel's gateway router.
Maybe someone else knows and will teach both of us.

If you want to use one of the hotel's public IP addresses, you need the
hotel to do either port forwarding or something else that will make your
camera findable through that address. Your other option is to obtain your
own Internet connectivity for the camera and use that IP address.
