Nintendo Wii Soon In A Westin Hotel Near You

Westin Hotels & Resorts has decided to include Wii in its WestinWORKOUT exercise and fitness services. The gaming console will be specifically adapted to the each hotels and Westin has installed already several units in its fitness centers at hotels in Bellevue, Washington and Times Square in New York.

Using the innovative motion-sensitive Wii Remote controller, WestinWORKOUT users can get both body and brain moving with a variety of interactive games, including Wii Sports (featuring tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing activities), Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree and Wii Play and others, all played with natural, intuitive movements of the Wii Remote.

The special Wii system will be updated automatically with hot new Wii games as they become available and includes features to simplify system management for the hotel property. A simple new game menu makes it easy to jump in and play without inserting game discs, and each property can manage what games are offered and how game data is stored.

With this partnership, Westin will be among the first hotel brands in the United States to receive delivery of Wii Fit.

Eight additional Westin properties will join the program in May: The Westin Hilton Head; The Westin Crown Center, Kansas City; The Westin Harbor Castle, Toronto; The Westin Diplomat, Hollywood; The Westin St. Francis, San Francisco; The Westin St. Louis; The Westin Galleria, Houston; and The Westin Savannah Harbor. Westin plans to roll out additional Wii systems following guest feedback from the initial hotel pilot.
