The hotel chain has confirmed to Bloomberg that it is testing a TV service that allows its guests to access streaming content from their own Netflix (http://www.imore.com/tag/netflix), Hulu Plus (http://www.imore.com/tag/hulu) and Pandora (http://www.imore.com/tag/pandora) accounts. The service is currently being trialled in eight hotels across the US.</p> <!--break--> <p>Customers can already access services like Netflix on their iPhones, iPads and MacBooks, but by partnering with content providers, Marriott will be offering access to these services directly from a customer's hotel room TV. Marriott is reportedly looking to provide the new TV service at an additional charge to its internet service, or include the aforementioned services in a "premium" internet tier.</p> <p>The move is said to usher in a new era on in-room entertainment while providing Marriott with a steady stream of revenue in the process. According to John Wolf, a spokesperson for Marriott:</p>

<p>We have invited leading technology companies and content providers to work with us to design the next wave in in-room entertainment focussing on on-demand programming. We are currently offering guests in eight test hotels the opportunity to stream their content through our high-definition TVs whether it is Netflix, Hulu or Pandora.</p>
