METAIRIE / NEW ORLEANS, LA, September 27, 2006. Noble Investment Group (NIG), one of the industry's leading owner/operators of luxury and upscale hotels and resorts, today announced that it has nearly completed its multi-million dollar renovation of the former Wyndham Metairie Hotel and has converted and renamed the property the Sheraton Metairie-New Orleans. The 182-room hotel received significant interior improvements, an enhanced exterior appearance, as well as the addition of a sundries alcove, business center and Sheraton Club lounge.
"We have been committed to this hotel and the Metairie community since prior to the arrival of Katrina," said Steven Nicholas, Noble executive vice-president of operations.
