The challenge
Red Lion Hotels was a long-running national chain with a broad portfolio of properties and a guest base that increasingly browsed and booked on mobile. The brand needed a faster, cleaner, fully responsive web experience that still felt unmistakably Red Lion.
What we did
- Rebuilt key brand and property pages as fast, responsive React components.
- Integrated a content layer so the brand and property teams could keep pages current.
- Carried the Red Lion identity — the signature red and bold type — through a modern, mobile-first layout.
- Focused on speed and clarity through the path from browsing to booking.

The outcome
A modern, mobile-first brand experience that held up across the chain’s properties and carried Red Lion’s identity onto a faster platform.
Red Lion Hotels operated as an independent national chain (Red Lion Hotels Corporation) before being acquired by Sonesta in 2021; the brand now lives within the Sonesta family.
