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.
