               AUTOGRILL SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES TENDER OFFER FOR
                       HOST MARRIOTT SERVICES CORPORATION

     Milan, August 27, 1999 -- Autogrill Spa of Italy announced today that its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Autogrill Acquisition Co., a Delaware Corporation, has
successfully completed its cash tender offer for all the outstanding shares of
common stock of HOST MARRIOTT SERVICES CORPORATION, at a purchase price of
$15.75 per share in cash, without interest, which tender offer expired at 12:00
midnight on August 26, New York City time (6:00 am this morning Italian time).

     A total of 30,484,407 shares -- not including 1,090,741 shares subject to
guarantees of delivery -- were tendered in the offer and accepted for payment
by Autogrill Acquisition, representing 90.7% of the total shares outstanding.

     Autogrill and Host Marriott Services also announced that the parties
intend to consummate the merger of Autogrill Acquisition Co. with and into Host
Marriott Services contemplated in the merger agreement announced by the parties
on July 26, 1999, as promptly as practicable. In connection with the merger,
Autogrill will acquire the remaining shares of Host Marriott Services common
stock for $15.75 per share, in cash, without interest.

     The success of the tender offer sets the stage for the formation of the

in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia and overall revenues (1999
projection) of more than 2.6 million euros (more than 5,000 billion lire). With

will also run an additional 16 locations in other sectors. The company is also
one of the premier retail providers in airports in North America. Overall, the
new Group will run more than 3,500 units in its various locations.

     The merger does not impact Host Marriott Services operating subsidiaries
which include Host International, Inc. and Host Marriott Tollroads, Inc.
