Overview & History 

Noble House Hotels & Resort's origins date back to 1979, when owner/founder Pat Colee established Westgroup Partners to develop and manage commercial properties, specifically undervalued real estate. In 1981, the company entered the hotel business when it purchased an office block in Dallas that included the historic Hotel Adolphus. Unable to find new management for the hotel and eager to create a different approach, the company made its first foray into assuming a management and operational role in the hospitality sector.

The transition became official and complete in September 1994, when Westgroup Partners changed its name to Noble House Hotels & Resorts. Since that time, Colee has helped the company successfully grow and flourish.

Noble House Hotels & Resorts now encompasses 13 properties across the United States: Watercolor Inn & Resort in Santa Rosa Beach, La Playa Beach & Golf Resort in Naples, Ocean Key Resort & Spa in Key West and Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in Little Torch Key - all in Florida; Hotel Viking in Newport, Rhode Island; La Torretta Lake Resort & Spa in Montgomery, Texas; Mountain Lodge in Telluride, Colorado; Hilton San Diego Resort & Spa, The Portofino Hotel & Yacht Club in Redondo Beach and Riviera Resort & Spa in Palm Springs – all in California; and The Edgewater and Hotel Deca in Seattle, Washington.

Noble House creates and manages quality projects with proven business methods, strategic insight and innovation. Many of our acquisitions undergo limited to extensive renovations to enhance and restore distinctive qualities. Acquiring three to five properties per year, the company is committed to a philosophy of controlled growth.
