Noble Investment Group opens the Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Downtown Little Italy, unveiling a transformed, upscale, contemporary hotel.
Located in San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood, the 334-room hotel captures the district's blend of coastal character, walkable charm and vibrant urban energy. Noble's comprehensive repositioning included a complete renovation of guestrooms and suites, public areas, food and beverage concepts and more than 10,000-square-feet of meeting and event space. There is now a modern, coastal-inspired aesthetic, elevated amenities and a suite of new experiences, including a Skydeck pool and sunset terrace with panoramic views of the marina, health and fitness center, and Orexi, a signature restaurant with Mediterranean Californian cuisine.
San Diego's hospitality sector is supported by multiple, durable demand generators, including a nationally significant convention and tourism ecosystem, a robust military and defense presence, top-tier higher education and healthcare institutions, and an expanding innovation economy anchored by technology, life sciences, and biotech. The city's broad base of demand provides consistent performance across cycles and underpins long-term value creation.
"San Diego remains one of the most attractive and resilient hospitality markets in the country," Ben Brunt, chief investment officer of Noble, said in a statement. "By transforming this property into an institutional-quality hotel within one of the city's highest-demand neighborhoods, we have strengthened its long-term competitive position. This investment reflects Noble's disciplined strategy of aligning with trusted brands, executing with operational excellence, and selecting markets where we can generate durable cash flow and enduring value for our investors and partners."
