Construction of Wyndham Resort Begins at Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

PARSIPPANY, NJ, Apr 17 (MARKET WIRE) --
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts today announced that construction of its 400-room
luxury resort in the Bonnet Creek Resort complex adjacent to Walt Disney
World(R) at Lake Buena Vista, Fla., which began this month, is expected to be
completed by the first quarter of 2010.

The Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Hotel and Spa at Bonnet Creek -- the first
mixed-used development undertaken by parent company Wyndham Worldwide --
will be managed by Wyndham Hotel Management Inc.

The Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Hotel and Spa at Bonnet Creek Resort will
complement Wyndham Vacation Ownership's adjacent Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort,
the company's flagship timeshare facility in Orlando. The popularity of this
resort has prompted multiple expansions on the 70-acre site area.

It is anticipated the complex ultimately will total 1,594 vacation ownership
units, the most at any Wyndham Vacation Ownership location.

"This hotel project represents a major accomplishment in our strategic
planto grow the upscale Wyndham brand and leverage the strength of our parent
company's hotel and vacation ownership components," said Peter Strebel, Wyndham
Hotels and Resorts president. "The resort will be an incredible asset in a great
location with a host of thoughtful amenities and conveniences that families
and groups will appreciate."

The hotel's Spanish Mediterranean architecture, designed by HHCP
Architectsof Maitland, Fla., will be reminiscent of the historic Flagler-era
resorts of St.
Augustine. The design calls for a 7,000-square-foot Wyndham Blue Harmony(TM)
spa and fitness center; 20,000 square feet of flexible meeting and conference
space including an 8,000-square-foot main ballroom designed for groups up to
600;
a full-service specialty restaurant; three-meal, open-kitchen display
restaurant;
pool bar and grill; lobby bar; and the Wyndham brand's new combination cafe,
barista and food mart, named "Eat. Refresh. Live."

The resort also will feature a child-friendly, "zero-entry" swimming pool
that
allows swimmers to enter gradually deepening water without the use of steps
or ladders; shade cabanas equipped with televisions, ceiling fans,
refrigerators and plush furnishings; whirlpool spas; arcade; and
recreationroom. Shuttle bus service will take guests to Walt Disney World(R)
theme
parks, and golf will be offered at an 18-hole course designed by Rees
JonesInc. now under development at the Bonnet Creek Resort complex.

The hotel's room mix aims to fulfill the expectations of vacationing
families,
business groups and incentive travelers. All rooms will offer high-speed
Internet service; 32-inch, LCD televisions; refrigerators; coffeemakers; and
tables for
dining, games or work. Twenty percent of the property's inventory will be
devoted to Be Together Suites, oversized rooms designed to sleep a family of
six comfortably with a king-size bed, bunk-bed alcove with game station and
sofa bed.

The hotel's interior will be designed by the hospitality division of
Baskervill Hochheiser Ross of Richmond, Va. General contractor is
Maitland-based WELBRO Building Corporation. EDSA Landscape Architects of
Orlando will design the hotel grounds.
