Yahoo! Link@Sheraton Debuts Today

Yahoo! and Sheraton hotels, a part of Starwood Hotels, have announced "an industry-first" relationship that will give guests a sort of all-in-one internet center which includes free Wi-Fi and a 30-day free trial of several of Yahoo!'s most popular services.

What else should guests expect from this joint venture?:

The Yahoo! Link @ Sheraton experience begins as guests make their way through the hotel lobby and enter a specially designed communal lounge area featuring comfortable seating, refreshments and a plasma television. Multiple Internet-enabled workstations complete with free 24/7 Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity and PrintMe features are also made available....

Designed to function as a "virtual concierge," the Yahoo! Link @ Sheraton website, available on all lounge and guestroom computers, will provide Sheraton guests with current local information such as weather conditions, nearby restaurants and attractions, and local driving directions.

The Yahoo! Link @ Sheraton as it's called officially debuts at the the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marinaand Sheraton Boston. Virtual spaces will debut today at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers and Sheraton Stamford in Connecticut.

Hopefully, the Wi-Fi will be up and running without 10 phone calls to Customer Support.
