Westin Hotels & Resorts' partnership with Nintendo brings a specially designed Wii console to 10 hotels across the U.S. as part of the WestinWORKOUT program. The industry-first partnership debuted May 1 at the WestinWORKOUT fitness centers at the Westin Times Square in New York City and the Westin Bellevue in Washington.

Using the innovative motion-sensitive Wii Remote, users get both body and brain moving with a variety of interactive games, including Wii Sports (with tennis, golf, baseball and boxing), Big Brain Academy and others. The customized Wii system will be updated with new games as they become available and includes features to simplify system management for the hotel property.

"We jumped at the chance to be the first hotel to partner with Nintendo and add interactive entertainment to our successful WestinWORKOUT program," says Sue Brush, senior vice president, Westin Hotels & Resorts. "We think guests will be eager to make Wii a part of their workouts during their stay with us."

Westin will be among the first hotel brands to receive delivery of Wii Fit, the anticipated interactive fitness game set for release later this month. Eight additional Westin properties will join the program shortly. Westin plans to add additional systems following guest feedback from the initial rollout.
