Noble to revamp Hilton Garden Inn hotel in the Sunshine State - TOPHOTELNEWS

Noble Investment Group has announced plans to renovate its newly acquired Hilton Garden Inn-branded hotel in Jacksonville, Florida.

Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville | Ponte Vedra is set to be given a whole new lease of life, its owner has revealed.

A property with an appealing locale

Located within the Sawgrass mixed-use development, Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville | Ponte Vedra benefits from an attractive setting in Florida’s largest city. Following its acquisition of the property, Noble Investment Group has signalled its intention to embark upon a complete renovation of the guestrooms and public areas.

The hotel places visitors in the renowned Ponte Vedra Beach area of Jacksonville. This positions it at the entrance to the TPC Sawgrass golf course, home of The Players Championship as well as the PGA Tour headquarters.

While staying at the hotel, guests can access the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Florida headquarters and St Johns Town Center, as well as four public beaches on over 22 miles of coastline.

A city primed for growth

The city of Jacksonville is known for its exceptional quality of life, as well as its business-friendly environment. In fact, the rapid economic expansion of the metropolis has seen employment grow at four times the national average.

Dustin Fisher, Noble vice president, said: “The Jacksonville market demonstrates the key macro trends we are looking for in cities which we believe will outperform as we enter a new lodging cycle. This high-quality asset will undergo a meaningful value-add renovation, which will help to drive market share throughout a diversified mix of leisure, healthcare, corporate and government demand generators.”
