Marriott and Renaissance hotel guests can now play the Wii during their stay. Guests can choose from 20 games, including Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, and Wii Sports as well as Wii Fit. Playing the Wii is far better than watching CNN and Wolf Blitzer in the Situation room all day.

Marriott International, Inc. is piloting a new specially built Wii hotel game system from Nintendo in select guest rooms and lounges. Wii systems are available at six Marriott and Renaissance properties including New York Marriott Marquis, Renaissance New York Hotel Times Square, Boston Marriott Cambridge, Bethesda Marriott Suites, Annapolis Marriott Waterfront, and JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in Phoenix (Lounge only).

The new Wii hotel game system allows hotel guests to select from a library of games without inserting game discs. With the intuitive games menu, guests can just point the Wii Remote at a game and begin playing immediately. Popular new Wii games will be added to the menu as they become available.

The Wii guest room packages include unlimited Wii access for the entire stay. To book a Wii guest room package at these six hotels, subject to availability, visit the Marriott site, select your preferred hotel, then click on the "Deals at this Hotel" link or insert promotional code XY0 (zero). There is a small premium for a room with a Wii hotel game system over the standard guest room rate.
