US: Noble Investment Group has acquired the Residence Inn by Marriott Tampa Downtown for an undisclosed sum.
The newly renovated, all-suite hotel is located in the central business and financial district of the Tampa Bay area. It will be managed by McKibbon Hospitality.
It features 109 studio, one- and two-bedroom suites, each with fully-equipped kitchens. The hotel offers a 24-hour business centre and fitness centre, laundry facilities, grocery shopping service and complimentary internet access throughout the hotel. Other amenities of the pet-friendly hotel include an outdoor pool, whirlpool, BBQ and picnic area and SportCourt. The hotel also offers nearly 1,000 square feet of flexible meeting and board room space.
“Downtown Tampa is in the midst of an urban renaissance with expansive new residential and commercial development in the heart of a city with deep demand generators already in place,” said Noble principal Ben Brunt. “The Residence Inn by Marriott offers us the ability to acquire the best in class extended-stay brand in this exciting market while gaining operational efficiencies paired with Noble’s adjacent hotel, the Courtyard by Marriott Tampa Downtown.”
Nobel has a growing extended stay portfolio and has recently bought Staybridge Suites and Home2 Suites hotels.
