BETHESDA, Md.
Marriott Hotels and Netflix announced a partnership to offer guests in-room video streaming services.
Guests staying at select Marriott Hotels will be able to sign-in to their existing accounts or subscribe to Netflix, by using the app installed on the hotel's internet-connected televisions. This is reportedly the first-time a major hotel chain has offered Netflix streaming on its televisions.
“Our collaboration with Netflix responds to changing consumer preferences in the way our guests access and watch content, while recognizing the leading role Netflix is playing in driving this transformation,“ said Matthew Carroll, vice president brand management, Marriott Hotels.
Netflix is currently available at six properties, with six more launching this summer. The brand plans to expand Netflix to 100 of its properties by the end of 2015, and to nearly all of its U.S. properties by the end of 2016.
Current hotels offering Netflix streaming include:
- New York Marriott East Side
- San Jose Marriott
- Princeton Marriott
- Newport Marriott
- Dallas/Fort Worth Marriott Solana
- Bethesda Marriott Suites
Upcoming hotels to offer Netflix streaming include:
- Marriott Marquis Washington, DC
- San Francisco Marriott Marquis
- Atlanta Marriott Marquis
- Dayton Marriott
- San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino
- Anaheim Marriott
Marriott Hotels said it designed and adapted its Netflix app for the hotel environment. Guests staying multiple days only have to login to their accounts once throughout their stay. When guests checkout, Marriott says that all account information is automatically wiped clean from the televisions.
