connection with Expedia and Hotels.com that will make it easier and more
cost-effective for Noble House to manage inventory and rates through

central reservation systems. The direct connection will also provide
online shoppers with the most accurate, up-to-the-minute room availability
data.

“The unique designs of each Noble House property offer the kind of quality
and experience that Expedia.com and Hotels.com customers seek. Together,
we are making it even easier for travelers to plan and book their perfect
