The customized consoles come preloaded with many of Nintendo's most popular games, including the hit Wii Fit [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Sports], the popular interactive fitness game that launches in North America on May 19.
"We jumped at the chance to be the first hotel to partner with Nintendo and add interactive entertainment to our successful WestinWORKOUT program," said Westin Senior Vice President Sue Brush. "We think our guests will be eager to make Wii a part of their workouts during their stay with us."
"Delivering an active entertainment experience is what Wii is all about," added Cammie Dunaway, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America. "Games like Wii Sports and the upcoming Wii Fit are ideal for business travelers and families who want to stay energized while on the road."
The new Wii program debuts today at the Westin Bellevue [http://www.westinny.com/]in Washington State, with eight more hotels scheduled to join the program throughout the month of May.
