ST. LOUIS
Red Lion Hotels Corporation (RLHC) signed its fifth location and first franchise license agreement for Hotel RL, its upscale lifestyle brand. Following a multimillion-dollar renovation incorporating signature design elements, Hotel RL St. Louis Airport is expected to open in the second quarter of 2016.
“We were admittedly intrigued by the Hotel RL brand and its design elements which we felt could help distinguish our property in a large market,” said John Andrews of Pandey Hotel Corporation, parent company to the owner of the property Pandey Hotel St. Louis, LLC. “After visiting Hotel RL Baltimore, we are inspired. We’re investing in the guest rooms and all of the public spaces.”
Adjacent to the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, the future Hotel RL St. Louis Airport has 197 guest rooms and nearly 4,000 square feet of meeting space. The hotel has a lounge, indoor heated pool, fitness center, business center, and complimentary Wi-Fi and airport shuttle service.
Hotel RL debuted in August with the opening of Hotel RL Baltimore Inner Harbor. Also in August, the company announced it will enter into a joint venture to acquire a future Hotel RL Washington D.C.
Three more hotel conversions are planned for the first half of 2016 following substantial capital improvements in company operated properties in Olympia, Salt Lake City and Spokane.
