Spokane, Wash., March 10, 2015 – RLHC (Red Lion Hotels Corporation, NYSE: RLH) announced today that the company signed franchise license agreements with the new owners of three hotels in New Mexico.

The Red Lion Hotel Gallup, Red Lion Hotel Farmington and Red Lion Hotel Grants were purchased by separate entities controlled by First Capital Real Estate Investments. In turn, the new owners named Chandler Hotel Group as its management company.
