In Fort Collins, Colo., Integrated Capital acquired three Marriott-branded properties which include:

• The Ft. Collins Marriott, offering 230 guest rooms, 16 meeting rooms and 16,154 sq. ft. of meeting space equipped with high-speed Internet access and wireless capabilities. This property, which recently received the ENERGY STAR rating, features an indoor/outdoor pool and is conveniently located near six public golf courses, biking and hiking trails;

• The Residence Inn Ft. Collins, a 113-suite hotel near Rocky Mountain National Park, offers spacious studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites with a living area, fully equipped kitchen and a workspace; and

• The Courtyard Ft. Collins, which features 110 rooms, each one equipped with complimentary high-speed Internet, and is located near five public golf courses.

Joining the Marriott system as an owner is The Roberts Hotel Group, led and managed by brothers Michael and Steven Roberts, chairman and CEO and COO respectively, of St. Louis, Mo. As a part of the agreement, the Hotel Group, which currently manages eight hotels as a part of its portfolio, will own and operate the 146-room Courtyard Dallas Northwest Highway at Stemmons. The Roberts' younger brother, Mark Roberts, will manage the day-to-day hotel operations.

Centrally located close to Downtown Dallas, Love Field Airport, DFW Airport and the Market Center Area, the Courtyard hotel will undergo an extensive renovation of the guestrooms and public space early next year. It will feature the newly launched reinvented Courtyard prototype which offers a variety of upgraded amenities including new bedding, a spacious bathroom, a new console desk design with increased workspace and movable casters, a dedicated library in the public space, the Courtyard Cafe, and The Market.

"The Roberts Hotel Group recognizes Marriott as a world-class hotelier, with a reservation system and points program known historically for driving business and value to their franchisees," said Michael Roberts, chairman and CEO of The Roberts Hotel Group and chairman of the National Association of Black Hotel Owners, Operators and Developers (NABHOOD). "We look forward to our new partnership with Marriott and future opportunities to expand our portfolio."

Marriott International's Senior Vice President of North American Lodging, Norman K. Jenkins, said, "Each of these companies owes it success, in no small part, to its excellent understanding of emerging development opportunities. We are thrilled that they chose Marriott and are equally excited about expanding our relationship with both companies."
