NEW
YORK (AP) — Marriott International Inc. says its flagship hotel unit
will offer guests access to Netflix Inc.'s streaming-video service on
TVs in its guest rooms.
Select
hotels will allow guests to use Netflix by signing into their existing
accounts through the Netflix app on the Internet-connected televisions.
Guests can also sign up for a new subscription if they don't already
have one.
Marriott says it is the first hotel brand to allow guests direct access to Netflix.
The
company says Netflix is currently available at six properties, with six
more launching this summer. It plans to expand Netflix to 100
properties by the end of 2015, and to nearly all of its more than 300
U.S. properties by the end of 2016.
