 Hudson Hotels Obtains Two New Management Contracts in New York State
 
ROCHESTER, N.Y.-  May 10, 1999--Hudson Hotels Corporation, Rochester New York ("NASDAQ:HUDS") (the "Company") today announced that it has executed two new management contracts. These contracts call for the Company to be the exclusive manager of a Holiday Inn Express in Buffalo, NY and a Quality Inn in Albany, NY. The Company has already begun operating the Holiday Inn Express and will begin operating the Quality Inn by the end of May 1999.
 
These two new management contracts are the result of an increased focus that the Company has recently undertaken to obtain third party management contracts in addition to the operation of hotels in which the Company owns or has an equity interest. Hudson now manages a total of 44 hotels with a total of 4,884 rooms. Commenting on these events, E. Anthony Wilson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company was quoted as saying "Hudson has more than a fifteen year history of successfully operating properties for third party owners and we believe that the Company's recent focus in this area should realize additional management opportunities in the upcoming months."
 
Michael T. George, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company added "Hudson believes that given the management infrastructure that it has put in place during the past year, that Hudson is uniquely qualified to enhance the operating performance of an increasing number of independently owned hotels. Hudson's management and information systems infrastructure should bring meaningful financial results to the owners of these properties. We look forward to obtaining additional management agreements in the upcoming months."
 
Garry Olsen, owner of the Quality Inn in Albany, NY stated "for the individual hotel owner Hudson management is a perfect solution. Hudson brings a level of professionalism and expertise that a small operator is unable to match. Additionally, I have been impressed with the innovative marketing and operating approach that Hudson has planned to improve the performance of my property." Mr. Olsen concluded, "it is a pleasure to work with Hudson."
