             This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of
the undersigned Reporting Persons to amend the Schedule 13D dated November 18,
1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D dated February 6, 1997 and
by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D dated September 1, 1997 (as amended, the
"Schedule 13D"), relating to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Doubletree Common Stock"), of Doubletree Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("Doubletree"). The principal executive offices of Doubletree are
located at 410 North 44th Street, Suite 700, Phoenix, Arizona 85008. This
Amendment No. 3 supplements and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, amends
the information set forth in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, all
capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meaning
set forth in the Schedule 13D.


Item 4.      Purpose of Transaction.

Item 5.      Interests In Securities of the Issuer.

             Items 4 and 5 to Schedule 13D are hereby amended, in pertinent
part, as follows:

             On December 19, 1997, Red Lion received 3,882,283 shares of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Parent Common Stock"), of Parent Holding
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"), in exchange for its 3,882,283
shares of Doubletree Common Stock, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "1997 Merger Agreement") by and among
Doubletree, Promus Hotel Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Promus"), and
Parent, providing for, among other things, (i) the merger of a newly formed
subsidiary of the Parent with and into Doubletree, and (ii) the merger of a
second newly formed subsidiary of the Parent with and into Promus, whereby each
of Doubletree and Promus became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent and the
stockholders of Doubletree and Promus became stockholders of the Parent.
Pursuant to the 1997 Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of
Doubletree Common Stock was converted into the right to receive one share of
Parent Common Stock. As a result, all of the shares of Doubletree Common Stock
previously owned by Red Lion were converted into shares of Parent Common Stock,
and Red Lion no longer owns any shares of Doubletree Common Stock.

Item 7.      Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Exhibit 1    Joint Filing Agreement dated as of November 18, 1996 by and between
             Red Lion, a California Limited Partnership, and RLA-GP, Inc., a
             Delaware corporation, which was filed as Exhibit 1 to Schedule 13D
             filed on November 18, 1996 and is incorporated herein by reference.
