(BW) (TX-WYNDHAM-INTERNATIONAL) (WYN) Wyndham and Patriot Shareholders Approve
$1 Billion Equity Investment From Investor Group; Company Converts From REIT to
C Corp; Changes Name to Wyndham International

        Business Editors

        DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 1999--

        Proceeds to Reduce Debt and Settle Forward Equity Contracts

        Wyndham International, Inc. (NYSE:WYN) today said its shareholders
approved  a comprehensive restructuring plan which will strengthen the Company's
financial position, streamline its corporate structure and sharpen its business
focus. At the annual meeting of Wyndham and PAH, Inc., held yesterday in New
York, shareholders approved:

        --  $1 billion equity investment from an investor group

        --  Conversion to a C corporation, terminating the Company's status as
            a REIT

        --  Changing the Company's name to Wyndham International

        Effective today, shares in the new Wyndham International, Inc. will
trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol WYN.

        The investor group's purchase involves $1 billion of 9.75% convertible
preferred stock, callable after six years, with an initial conversion price of
$8.59 per share. The investor group includes affiliates of Thomas H. Lee Equity
Fund IV, L.P., Apollo Investment Fund IV, L.P., Apollo Real Estate Investment
Fund III, L.P., Beacon Capital Partners, L.P., and other investors.

        Within the next six months, Wyndham intends to conduct a rights offering
in which common shareholders can purchase up to $300 million of convertible
preferred stock with the same economic terms as investor group, which could
reduce the investor group's investment to $700 million. As a result, the
investor group will initially own an approximate 41% interest in the Company,
reducing to 29%, assuming full subscription to the rights offering by
non-investor group shareholders.

        As previously announced, the $1 billion equity investment is part of an
overall financial restructuring plan in conjunction with a new $1.8 billion
senior bank facility from Chase Manhattan Bank and $650 million of senior
secured loans from Chase Manhattan Bank and The Bear Stearns Companies Inc.
These proceeds will be used to replace the Company's existing bank facility, to
settle its forward equity obligations and to provide additional growth and
working capital.

        James D. Carreker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wyndham,
noted that in addition to the financial restructuring, Wyndham has accomplished
the following:

        --  Hired a new Chief Financial Officer, a new Chief Investment Officer
            and re-organized management
<PAGE>

        --      Divested $72 million in non-strategic assets and announced
                plans to sell 11 hotels situated in the United Kingdom

        --      Opened or will open new Wyndham Hotels in Chicago, Atlanta
                and Boston

        --      Received a top three rating for Wyndham by J. D. Powers &
                Associates in guest satisfaction among upscale hotel chains

        Carreker also said, "The measures taken today have restored Wyndham's
financial and operating flexibility, while providing an excellent platform to
further strengthen Wyndham's competitive position. We have all the necessary
tools -- talented people, irreplaceable assets and powerful brands -- to
successfully execute a focused growth strategy that solidifies Wyndham's
position as a top-tier lodging company. In the hospitality industry, we want to
provide the best places to stay; to become the best places to work; and to
generate the best shareholder returns in our industry."
        Shares of Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. will no longer trade on the
NYSE under the symbol PAH.

(BW) (TX-WYNDHAM-INTERNATIONAL) (WYN) Wyndham International, Inc. Announces
Closing of $1 Billion Equity Investment and Related Restructuring; Company
Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan

        Business Editors

        DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 1999--Wyndham International, Inc.
(NYSE:WYN) announced today the closing of the $1 billion equity investment and
related restructuring of the Company. As contemplated by the conditions to
closing contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement with the investors, the
Wyndham International Board of Directors has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan
similar in terms and conditions to the shareholder rights plan adopted by
Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. in December.

        James D. Carreker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wyndham
International, said, "The Plan is designed to enhance the Board's ability to
protect shareholder interests and to ensure that shareholders receive fair
treatment in the event any coercive takeover attempt of Wyndham International is
made in the future. The Plan is intended to provide the Board with sufficient
time to consider any and all alternatives to such an action. The Plan was not
adopted in response to any takeover attempt and the Company is not aware of any
such attempt."

        About the Shareholder Rights Plan

        In connection with the adoption of the Shareholder Rights Plan, the
Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock
purchase right for each outstanding share of the Company's Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the Common Stock), and a number of
preferred stock purchase rights equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
that would be issuable upon conversion by the holder of each share of the
Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and of the Company's Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the Convertible Preferred Stock) for
each outstanding share of Convertible Preferred stock, to shareholders of record
as of the close of business on July 9, 1999.

        Initially, these rights will not be exercisable and will trade with the
shares of Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock. Under the Shareholder
Rights Plan, the rights generally become exercisable at a price of $35.00 if a
person becomes an acquiring person by acquiring 10% or more of the Common Stock,
or if a person commences a tender offer that would result in that person owning
10% or more of the Common Stock. In the event that a person becomes an acquiring
person, each holder of a right (other than the acquiring person) would be
entitled to acquire such number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration
having a value of twice the exercise price of the right. If Wyndham
International is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction
after any such event, each holder of a right would then be entitled to purchase,
at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company's common
stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the right. Additional
details concerning the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan will be outlined in
a letter, which will be mailed to shareholders shortly.
