              WYNDHAM INTERNATIONAL REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

         Branded Hotel Performance Remains On Pace During Restructuring

     Dallas, TX (November 8, 1999) -- Wyndham International, Inc. (NYSE:WYN)
today reported third quarter earnings and outlined plans for next year that
includes a greater focus on its Wyndham Hotels & Resorts brand.

     Wyndham International reported that its loss in the third quarter narrowed
over the prior year. For the quarter, the company had a net loss of $44.6
million, or $0.41 per share (diluted) compared with a loss of $59.4 million or
$1.02 per shares (diluted) for the same period last year. Third quarter results
this year included $12.4 million in non-recurring charges primarily related to
the company's restructuring.

     The company said although its third quarter was paced by a strong
performance of its core proprietary brands, performance of its non-proprietary
branded assets fell short of expectations. The company attributed the shortfall
to the conversion of assets related to the Interstate/Marriott transaction and
assets listed for sale. The company also announced financial projections for
2000.

     "As we transform the company, we are experiencing short-term disruptions
mostly in our non-proprietary branded assets, which are impacting our operating
results to a far greater extent than anticipated," said James D. Carreker,
chairman and chief executive officer. "However, our focus is to grow long term
shareholder value by growing Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to first tier status. A
more focused business plan and greater scale is enhancing the performance of our
branded portfolio, as indicated by our third quarter results."

     The growth of the brand will focus on flagship properties in major cities
and resort areas as well as greater distribution in suburban locations. The
suburban locations will include new construction and, in addition, the company
said it will invest capital and convert many of the high-rise, suburban Wyndham
Garden products into full-service Wyndham Hotels.

     In outlining the company's financial projections, Carreker said: "We
recognize that we are operating in an economic cycle of moderating growth,
increased supply and more competition for occupancy and revenue. Nevertheless,
we are confident that our company is well positioned. For this year, we expect
to achieve EBITDA, as adjusted, in the range of $620 million to $625 million.
For the year 2000, we estimate EBITDA growth, as adjusted, of eight to 10
percent, with total comparable owned RevPAR growth of 2% to 3% and capital
expenditures of approximately $190 million."

Third Quarter Performance

     In reporting third quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization including certain one-time non-recurring charges (EBITDA), the
company said prior year quarterly EBITDA, as adjusted, includes the results for
assets that have since been sold, including the Bay Meadows racetrack, 15 hotels
and the spin-off of the Interstate Hotels Corporation. EBITDA, as adjusted, from
comparable owned and leased hotels for the quarter was approximately equal to
that of the prior year. Actual EBITDA, as adjusted, was $126.0 million, compared
to $152.1 million for the third quarter 1998.

     Performance of the company's proprietary-branded hotels was led by the
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts brand, in which comparable hotels realized RevPAR
growth of 6.5% in the third quarter over the same period a year ago. The
company's luxury resort collection, Grand Bay, grew RevPAR by 3.9%. RevPAR for
the Summerfield Suites division increased 1.2%.

     The company's owned and leased hotels generated a 1.6% RevPAR increase in
the quarter. On a comparable basis, proprietary branded owned and leased hotels
had RevPAR growth of 3.7% for the quarter and 2.4% for the year, proprietary
branded EBITDA, as adjusted, increased 5.9% and 7.4%, respectively. These
results were led by the core Wyndham brand, which posted RevPAR growth of 4.7%
and EBITDA, as adjusted, growth of 10.6%. RevPAR for non-proprietary branded
owned hotels fell 0.2% for the quarter and increased 0.4% year to date, largely
reflecting the significant number of hotels in transition following the
Interstate spin-off and other asset dispositions. Non-proprietary branded hotels
experienced a decline in EBITDA, as adjusted, of 6.9% for the quarter and 2.7%
for the year.

     "Non-proprietary branded assets and assets in transition continued to
experience weakness in RevPAR and EBITDA, as adjusted, growth, largely
reflecting short-term disruptions and costs associated with converting some of
these properties to Wyndham hotels or to third party managers. Additionally,
approximately 60 non-proprietary branded hotels experienced changes in either
property level management or franchise, or have been listed for sale. These
disruptions are expected to be short-term," Carreker said. "These moves are
important to the maximization of long term earnings and shareholder value."

    Frederick J. Kleisner, president and chief operating officer, said, "During
the third quarter, we continued to streamline and simplify the organization,
including combining our luxury and resort divisions into a single organization
to take advantage of the company's operating and national sales capabilities. We
also opened the Wyndham Boston--following new openings in Chicago and Atlanta
earlier in the year--and converted the Wyndham Casa Marina Resort & Beach Club
in Key West. In addition, a new Summerfield Suites Hotel opened at the Miami
Airport and a new Wyndham hotel opened in the Denver Tech center."

Nine Months Performance

     For the nine months, Wyndham reported a net loss of $921.0 million, or
$6.19 per share, including $907.5 million of largely non-cash, non-recurring
charges in the second quarter related principally to the company's restructuring
and recapitalization. EBITDA, as adjusted for the nine months increased 16.3% to
$480.8 million from $413.3 million last year.

Rights Offering

     The company said that it intends to commence its previously announced
rights offering shortly. The Delaware Chancery Court last week approved the
settlement of a consolidated class action lawsuit related to the $1 billion
equity investment and related restructuring of the company. The company intends
to request the Securities and Exchange Commission to declare the registration
statement effective later today. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of
certain outstanding limited partnership units as of the close of business on
September 30, 1999 will receive rights to purchase up to $300 million of the
company's series A convertible preferred stock.

     This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Sections 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including projections about future operating
results. The Company's results could differ materially from those set forth in
the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause a difference
include, but are not limited to, risks associated with the availability of
equity or debt financing at terms and conditions favorable to Wyndham; risks
associated with the course of litigation; Wyndham's ability to effect sales of
assets on favorable terms and conditions; Wyndham's ability to integrate
acquisitions into its operations and management; the Year 2000 issue; risks
associated with the hotel industry and real estate markets in general;
competition within the lodging industry; the impact of general economic
conditions; risks associated with debt financing; and other risks and
uncertainties set forth in the company's annual, quarterly and current reports
and proxy statements.


                              Tables to follow...


(1) EBITDA is defined as income before interest expense, income tax expense, and
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA, as adjusted, excluded non-recurring items
and gains and losses from sales of real estate and investments, as these do not
impact operating results on a recurring basis. Management considers EBITDA to be
one measure of cash flows from operations of the Company before debt service
that provides a relevant basis for comparison, and EBITDA is presented to assist
investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. This information should
not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated
under generally accepted accounting principles, nor should it be considered as
an indicator of the overall financial performance of the Company. The Company's
calculation of EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other
companies, and therefore, comparability may be limited.
