DALLAS (Oct. 23, 2001) - Wyndham International (NYSE:WYN) today announced its agreement with an affiliate of Apollo Real Estate Advisors, L.P. to convert two existing 10-year Wyndham franchise agreements to management contracts. Under the terms of the agreement, Wyndham will now manage the 410-room Wyndham Palm Springs in California and the 352-room St. Anthony - A Wyndham Historic Hotel in San Antonio, Texas. "As one of the first properties to carry the Wyndham flag, the Wyndham Palm Springs helped lay the foundation for our hotel brand," remarked Fred J. Kleisner, chairman and chief executive officer for Wyndham. "Wyndham has always been known for its superior management capabilities, and this new agreement underscores our position, while creating a long-term affiliation with the Wyndham Palm Springs and The St. Anthony." The Wyndham Palm Springs, with its Spanish-colonial architecture, is the focal point of a 40-acre development offering scenic views of the San Jacinto mountain range. It features a 60,000 sq. ft. courtyard with a 5,000 sq. ft. pool, spa, and children's pool, sauna and sand volleyball court.

The hotel has 25,000 sq. ft. of meeting space and is connected to the 100,000 sq. ft. Palm Springs Convention Center. Designated a Texas and National Historical Landmark, The St. Anthony - A Wyndham Historic Hotel is decorated with French Empire antiques, bronzes and other works of art. It has been consistently rated a four-star hotel for the past 15 years and features over 22,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, including 15 conference rooms, a heated rooftop pool, 24-hour valet parking, fitness center, business center and concierge services.
