PINE MOUNTAIN, GA (Oct. 6) – Noble Investment Group and Callaway Gardens have broken ground on The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens. A four-star amenity to the property, The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens will feature 150 oversized guest rooms and four-fixture baths along with a state-of-the-art, luxurious 13,000-square-foot spa and health club. The new Lodge and Spa facilities are designed to honor the rich traditions and boundless natural beauty of Callaway Gardens while adding a new level of luxury and comfort to the overall experience at the resort.

“When we first entered into our partnership with Callaway Gardens in January of 2005, we did so with a shared vision to reinvent the Callaway Gardens experience, while preserving its remarkable heritage,” said Robert McEleney, vice president and managing director of Callaway Gardens Resort for Noble Investment Group. “This includes the magnificent gardens, the wide range of outstanding hospitality and recreational offerings and more. Today, a mere nine months later, we reaffirm our commitment to this remarkable property by ensuring that guests will enjoy Callaway Gardens for generations to come.”

“This is truly an historic day for Callaway Gardens,” said Edward Callaway, chairman and CEO of Callaway Gardens. “The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens takes my grandfather’s original vision for the property into the 21st century by matching our unparalleled natural beauty with a luxurious lodging amenity. We are proud to work with our partners at Noble Investment Group to provide guests to Callaway Gardens with the very best comprehensive resort experience possible.”

The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens will be adjacent to the existing Southern Pines Conference Center. As with all things at Callaway Gardens, the project has been planned to meld with the spectacular natural landscape. “When it came to designing The Lodge and Spa at Callaway Gardens, we took on the challenge to honor the work that nature has already done,” said Mit Shah, president and CEO of Noble Investment Group. “With this in mind, we are creating a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified resort lodging amenity that continues the sense of place that is so central to everything at Callaway Gardens.”

The interior of the Lodge will continue the commitment to place, making every effort to, in classic Callaway tradition, bridge the gap between man and nature. Each luxurious room at the Lodge will feature its own balcony. All areas will feature an abundance of windows, providing rejuvenating natural light. The natural theme will extend to interiors of Lodge rooms, where soft colors and warm comfort mimic the world outside while creating a sanctuary-within-a-sanctuary for guests.

The Spa at Callaway Gardens will highlight the property’s unique connection to its natural surroundings by combining the timeless and soothing treasures of its unique locale with the very latest in modern relaxation technology and services. Spa guests will enjoy a wide array of classic and innovative treatments delivered by a talented and experienced staff of relaxation specialists.

The 13 treatment rooms in The Spa at Callaway Gardens will accommodate a wide range of offerings including traditional massage, hydrotherapy treatments, Vichy showers, couples’ treatments and more. The facility will also include a health club, a yoga and exercise room and a retail and salon services area.
