Noble Investment Group Starts $9M Renovation and Addition at Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza

ATLANTA, Ga. – November 11, 2008 –Privately held Noble Investment Group (“Noble”), a leading sponsor of private equity real estate funds and an integrated lodging and hospitality operating and development organization, today announced the launch of the $9 million comprehensive renovation of the Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza (top left photo) in Missouri.

Noble acquired the hotel in March of 2008 and has designed an overarching renewal of all guestrooms, meeting and event space, food and beverage outlets, as well as all public areas.

“The completion of these planned physical enhancements to the entire hotel will enable our dedicated team of hospitality professionals at the Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza the ability to provide their guests with a memorable luxury experience,” said Bob Morse, (middle right photo) Noble’s managing principal and chief operating officer.

The $9 million renovation will include the creation of the Marriott Great Room, an ideal spot for guests to engage in small work groups, gather in a casual dining experience or socialize and unwind in an inviting, comfortable, living-room atmosphere.
The Great Room concept was designed to provide intimate social zones, virtually enabling guests to tailor the use of the space to suite their own needs, much as they would do in their own homes.
