Item 5.  Other Events

         FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. Any statements in this Form 8-K that are 
not strictly historical are forward-looking statements within the meanings of 
the safe-harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. 
These statements include, among other things, any statements regarding 
intent, expectations or belief with respect to (i) availability or terms of 
additional sources of capital for the companies, (ii) the companies' ability 
to refinance, extend or amend the terms of existing indebtedness, (iii) the 
companies' ability to reach settlement on the forward equity contracts, and 
(iv) the companies' ability to restore damage sustained at certain of its 
properties due to Hurricane Georges. Stockholders are cautioned that, while 
forward-looking statements reflect the companies' good faith beliefs, they 
are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks 
and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those 
in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Certain 
factors that could cause such differences include, without limitation, the 
availability of equity or debt financing at terms and conditions favorable to 
the companies, the willingness of the companies' existing lenders to 
refinance, extend or amend the terms of existing indebtedness, the 
willingness of the counterparties to the companies' forward equity contracts 
to enter into settlements regarding those agreements, and other factors 
detailed in this Current Report on Form 8-K, in the companies' Quarterly 
Report on Form 10-Q for period ended June 30, 1998, and in the companies' 
Registration Statements on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-58705 and 333-65339).

         COMBINED LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.  In June 1998, Patriot 
American Hospitality, Inc. ("Patriot") entered into a revised credit facility 
with The Chase Manhattan Bank and Chase Securities, Inc. and Paine Webber 
Real Estate Securities, Inc. providing a $900 million Revolving Credit 
Facility and an aggregate amount of $1.8 billion of Term Loans. Currently, 
Patriot has $12.2 million of available funds under the Revolving Credit 
Facility. Additionally, the Term Loans have maturities of January 31, 1999 
($350 million); March 31, 1999 ($400 million); and March 31, 2000 ($450 
million). Patriot and Wyndham International, Inc. ("Wyndham," and together 
with Patriot, the "Companies") also have approximately $205 million of other 
debt which is currently due on or before December 31, 1998. 

         The Companies are evaluating possible means of improving liquidity 
through refinancing or extending the maturity of existing indebtedness, 
issuing additional equity securities, and divesting certain non-core, 
non-proprietarily branded hotel assets. The Companies have also 
re-strategized capital expenditures and development programs, are improving 
operating efficiencies, and are in discussions to seek possible amendments to 
the Revolving Credit Facility.

         No assurances can be made regarding the availability or terms of 
additional sources of capital for the Companies in the future and no 
assurances can be given regarding the Companies' ability to successfully 
refinance or extend the maturity of existing indebtedness. No assurances can 
be given regarding the Companies' success in securing any amendments to the 
Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, in the absence of such amendments, 
no assurances can be given that the Companies will continue to meet the 
reduced EBITDA coverage ratio requirements which go into effect in December 
under the Revolving Credit Facility. If the Companies are unable to secure 
additional sources of financing in the future, are unable to successfully 
refinance existing indebtedness, or are unable to obtain amendments to 
existing covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility, no assurance can be 
made that the Companies will be able to meet their financial obligations as 
they come due or that the lack of future financing sources would not have a 
material adverse effect on the Companies' financial condition and results of 
operations.

         FORWARD CONTRACTS.  The Companies are parties to forward equity 
transactions with three counterparties involving the sale of an aggregate of 
13.3 million shares (the "Initial Shares") of paired common stock of the 
Companies with related purchase price adjustment mechanisms (the "Forward 
Contracts"). The Forward Contracts require the Companies from time to time to 
issue additional shares of paired common stock or pay cash based upon the 
difference between the respective forward prices and the market price of the 
Companies' paired common stock. The Companies' aggregate exposure under the 
Forward Contracts as of November 1, 1998 was approximately $313.6 million 
(assuming the Forward Contracts are settled in cash). The Companies have 
registered the sale of up to 44,000,000 shares of paired common stock in 
connection with the Forward Contracts; however, to date no sales have been 
made under such registration statements. There can be no assurance that such 
registration statements will remain effective or that the Companies will not 
be required to register additional shares for delivery under the Forward 
Contracts.

         Settlement under one or more of the Forward Contracts could have 
adverse effects on the Companies' liquidity or dilutive effects on the 
Companies' capital stock. Delivery of cash would adversely affect the 
Companies' liquidity, and delivery of shares would have dilutive effects on 
the Companies' capital stock. Moreover, settlement (whether by reason of a 
drop in the market price of the paired shares or otherwise) may force the 
Companies to issue paired shares at a depressed price, which may heighten the 
dilutive effects on the Companies' capital stock. The dilutive effect of a 
stock settlement and the adverse liquidity effect of a cash settlement 
increase significantly as the market price of the paired shares declines 
below the applicable forward price or reference price.


                                       2

<PAGE>

         Under each Forward Contract, at settlement the Companies must 
deliver to the counterparty paired shares or, under certain circumstances, 
cash, with respect to the number of shares of paired common stock initially 
sold to such counterparty, based upon the difference between the applicable 
forward price and the market price of the paired common stock at the time of 
settlement. The forward price is determined by reference to the purchase 
price of the Initial Shares plus an imputed return based upon LIBOR plus an 
applicable spread between 140 and 150 basis points. The Initial Shares were 
issued at the following share prices: $24.8625 (4,900,000 shares, with 
NationsBanc Capital Corporation ("Nations") as counterparty); $27.01125 
(5,150,000 shares, with PaineWebber Financial Products, Inc. ("PaineWebber") 
as counterparty); and $28.8125 (3,250,000 shares, with UBS AG, London Branch 
("UBS") as counterparty).

         The market price of the paired common stock has dropped 
significantly below the respective forward prices under the Forward 
Contracts. As a result, the Companies to date have made cash payments 
totaling approximately $54.3 million and have delivered an aggregate of 
25,258,163 additional shares of paired common stock as collateral to the 
counterparties.

         The Companies' forward contracts with PaineWebber and UBS, 
representing a total obligation of approximately $192 million, reached 
maturity on October 15, 1998 without final settlement by the Companies. UBS 
has asserted that the Companies are in default under the terms of its forward 
contract as the result of the Companies not delivering certain cash 
collateral and not mailing a final settlement of the contract in cash 
although the Companies have disputed this. In addition, because the market 
price of the paired common stock is below applicable unwind thresholds under 
the forward contract with Nations (which represents an obligation of 
approximately $128 million), Nations has alleged the right to require a 
complete settlement of its transaction. 

         The Companies are currently in discussions regarding possible 
resolutions of the respective Forward Contracts to provide the Companies with 
the opportunity to resolve the Forward Contracts through payments of cash or 
other forms of consideration, and thus to avoid the need to settle in shares. 
There can be no assurance that such discussions will be successful. Moreover, 
any such resolutions may require the consent of the lenders under the 
Companies' credit facility. No assurances can be given that any such consent, 
if required and sought, would be obtained.

         TREASURY RATE LOCK AGREEMENTS.  The Companies previously entered 
into three treasury interest rate lock agreements to protect the Companies 
against the possibility of rising interest rates in connection with an 
anticipated $850 million corporate bond offering originally scheduled for the 
fourth quarter of 1998. However, given current conditions in the debt capital 
markets, the Companies have decided to delay this debt issuance indefinitely. 
Under the rate lock agreements, the Companies receive or make payments based 
on the differential between specified interest rates, 6.06%, 6.07% and 5.62%
respectively, and the actual

                                       3

10-year U.S. Treasury interest rate on a notional principal amount of $525 
million. To date, the Companies have settled the entire $525 million in 
treasury interest rate locks at rates between 4.59% and 4.67% resulting in a 
$49.2 million one-time charge to earnings recorded in the third quarter of 
1998.

         HURRICANE GEORGES.  In September 1998, Hurricane Georges hit the 
island of Puerto Rico and the Gulf coast of the United States, including 
Florida and Louisiana. Patriot owns three properties on Puerto Rico, the El 
Conquistador Resort and Country Club, the El San Juan Hotel and Casino and 
the Condado Plaza Hotel. In addition to these properties, Wyndham manages two 
properties on the island, the Old San Juan Hotel and Casino and the Wyndham 
Palmas del Mar.

         The Companies' damage assessment teams, working with the 
underwriters for the Companies' insurance providers, have inspected each of 
the Companies' owned or managed properties on Puerto Rico and while none of 
the properties were destroyed, each sustained damages requiring repair and 
construction. Furthermore, each of the Companies' owned or managed properties 
sustained damages to the surrounding grounds and landscaping which are in the 
process of being repaired. To date, the El San Juan, the Old San Juan, the El 
Conquistador, and the Palmas del Mar have re-opened for business. It is 
currently anticipated that the remainder of the closed rooms at the Condado 
Plaza and the suites at Las Casitas and certain other ancillary facilities at 
the El Conquistador will re-open in late November and that the stand alone 
ballroom at Palmas del Mar will re-open in mid-January. In addition, the 
grand opening of the Golden Door Spa at the El Conquistador which was 
scheduled for mid-October will be delayed until mid-December. The Companies' 
estimated re-opening dates are subject to the availability of construction 
materials and labor. No assurances can be given that the Companies' owned or 
managed properties on Puerto Rico will be operating at full capacity by these 
estimated dates.

         All of the Companies' owned or managed properties on Puerto Rico are 
insured with both comprehensive property damage and business interruption 
insurance, subject to certain deductibles. The Companies have hired a 
consultant to assess their business interruption claims and are currently 
negotiating with their insurance carriers regarding coverage for the losses 
sustained at the Puerto Rico properties. While the Companies currently 
believe that substantially all of the damages sustained at their Puerto Rico 
properties will be covered by insurance, no assurances can be made regarding 
the timing or amount of the actual payments that will ultimately be received 
by the Companies under these policies.


         EARNINGS PER PAIRED SHARE.  On November 9, 1998, the Companies 
issued a press release discussing earnings for the third quarter of 1998. 
Such press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.15 and is deemed 
incorporated herein in its entirety.
