Bell today announced it is the first national television provider to offer hotels the ability to bring visitors high definition television in the comfort of their rooms. The innovative Bell TV solution has been selected by Marriott Hotels for use in eight locationsnationally. 

"Bell is proud to offer hotels a unique solution that solves the challenges they face in delivering HD television directly to their guests across Canada," said Kevin Crull, President of Bell Residential Services.

"With Bell TV, hotel guests get access to Canada's best HD televisionservice, featuring the most HD channels and stunning picture quality, makingtheir stay even more enjoyable."

Bell's innovative solution delivers in-room satellite-powered HD television from a centralized control room, doing away with the need for individual receivers in each room.

Bell has installed its HD solution in six Marriott hotel locations in Canada and it will soon be offered in two additional hotels, bringing Canada's best HD television through Bell TV to more than two thousand rooms.

These Marriott properties have access to more than 100 HD channels from Bell TV, the most offered by any television provider in Canada. 

"We're thrilled to be partnering with Bell to offer our guests HD television in Marriott hotels across Canada," said Scott Allison, Regional Vice President, Sales & Marketing for Marriott Hotels & Resorts Canada.
