Pat Colee has always had a fascination with culture - the distinctive blend of people, history, art, music, architecture, design, and community that collectively define a region. It is with a thoughtful combination of these essential elements, paired with over 30 years of experience as a top executive and real estate developer, that Colee created and directs Noble House Hotels and Resorts. In harmony with local culture and environment, Colee's hotels, resorts and restaurants are in destinations that cannot be duplicated. Often with the help of local artisans, each entity is designed in the style and ambience of the province, such as the Northwest lodge atmosphere of The Edgewater in Seattle, the art and soul that is the Inn at Loretto in Santa Fe, and the tropical sophistication of Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys. At the same time, Colee preserves the relevance and integrity of the landmark buildings, grounds and vistas -- providing business and leisure travelers lodging and dining options with location, distinction and soul. In 1976, he co-founded Pacific Seaboard Group in Seattle, where he developed more than one million square feet of office and hotel space. Prior to that, Colee was responsible for leasing, development and management of properties for C. J. Segerstrom and Sons. Colee also served as partner and president of Maquire Thomas Partners as well as general manager of the West Coast Division of Gerald Hines Interests. Colee moved to Los Angeles in 1979 and founded Westgroup Partners. He began his personal foray into the hospitality business in 1981 when he purchased an office block that contained The Adolphus Hotel. Unable to find new management for the hotel, Colee decided to take on the assignment. In September 1994, Westgroup Partners changed its name to Noble House Hotels and Resorts and relocated to Kirkland, Wash. As owner and principal, Colee is responsible for the direction and philosophy of the company and is personally involved in virtually every aspect of the business, including design, human resources, customer relations and development. A Los Angeles native, Colee holds a master of business administration from the University of Southern California. His first job out of college was as an assistant to Henry Segerstrom at C.J. Segerstrom & Sons.
