PORTLAND, OR-Improvements are in the works for a 318-room hotel at Jantzen Beach that last week saw its brand changed. Located at 909 N. Hayden Island Dr., the former DoubleTree Hotel at Jantzen Beach is now the Red Lion on the River. The improvements include new outdoors spaces designed to make better use of the property’s riverfront location and possibly a marina.The Red Lion brand is owned by WestCoast Hospitality, the publicly traded hotel company from Spokane, WA, but the hotel is not. The actual owner of the franchise was not available Monday afternoon. The property manager is North Pacific Management Inc., which also manages the Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, WA; Radisson at the Airport in Portland; and Ashland Springs Hotel in Ashland.The improvements will include new outdoor meeting space overlooking the river with riverside decks, a lobby bar and a double stone fireplace built into the lobby. In addition, the restaurant and lobby will be remodeled, hallways will get new carpets and wall coverings, and guest rooms will get updated bathrooms and new bedding.North Pacific’s Brett Wilkerson tells GlobeSt.com that some of the improvements–the interior improvements–are required to bring the property up to the Red Lion standard. The exterior improvements are not required for the brand upgrade. Plans have not been finalized for exactly where and how the outdoor meeting area will come into existence. An existing tennis court may be re-purposed but another area overlooking the water may also be utilized for the addition, he says.The biggest addition to the hotel, a marina, is still in the approval stage, says Wilkerson. “It’s looking like something we will be able to go through with,” he says. “It would be a wonderful feature.”
