W Hotels 160x600Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. and its eco-friendly brand, Element Hotels, announced a partnership with Nintendo to provide Nintendo DS systems pre-loaded with “Personal Trainer: Cooking” software to hotel guests.

The software, which acts as an interactive culinary coach, makes it easy for travelers to choose recipes, prepare shopping lists and cook meals in the comfort of their fully equipped in-suite kitchens.

This is the latest in a series of initiatives being launched by Element Hotels to cater to eco- and health-conscious travelers looking to maintain a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle on the road. Guests at all Element hotels have the option of checking out a complimentary hand-held Nintendo DS system that comes with a copy of the “Personal Trainer: Cooking” software.

After selecting recipes based on cooking requirements such as calorie count, cooking time or skill level, guests can view ingredients, watch how-to videos and even set an on-screen timer.

The intuitive software provides help every step of the way through voice-led instructions, text, images and video. Users can choose from more than 245 recipes from a variety of regions around the world.

The touch-screen controls of the Nintendo DS system let users browse recipes or mark ingredients to buy with a tap of the stylus. If your hands are busy with cooking, “Personal Trainer: Cooking” also accepts voice commands to continue to the next page, repeat a step or go back.
