"These hotels, which have each delivered outsized RevPAR growth year-to-date, are leaders in their respective markets and close to powerful business and leisure demand generators that should continue to drive future growth. We look forward to continuing to work with the Noble management team on closing the additional hotel properties we have under contract."
