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 opening of the Hyatt Place Chicago/ Schaumburg located in Schaumburg, Illinois.
Hyatt Place, recently named the top mid-scale, full-service brand in the J.D.

Guest rooms feature a state-of-the-art media and work center complete with 42"flat-panel HDTVs, contemporary decor, stylish furnishings, and the Hyatt Grand Bed.
