Hampton Hotels `Adopts` Three New Virtual Webkinz Pets

Hampton Webkinz Package Offers Parents Popular Gift to Bring Home to Their
Children after Business Travel
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Less than one third of business travelers were joined by family members on their
last business trip*, which is why Hampton Hotels has created a new package that
sends parents home with a gift that is sure to bring a smile to their child`s
face. This summer, Hampton is offering parents who book the Hampton`s Webkinz
Package an exclusive Webkinz plush pet upon check-in that they can bring home to
their little one.

Webkinz` parent company, Ganz, unveiled today three new pets as part of the
collection that will be available through the Hampton Webkinz Package: Blossom
Bird, Springer Spaniel and Guinea Pig**.

Webkinz plush pets are a sensation among six to 13 year-olds. The pets are not
only a plush toy but a virtual education tool that allow children to build an
online version of each pet by accessing the pet`s secret code.

"As a working mother myself, I know how hard it is to be away from your family
on business," said Judy Christa-Cathey, vice president brand marketing for
Hampton Hotels. "Our summer Webkinz package offers parents that stay with us an
entertaining and educational present for their kids to show that even when we`re
on the road, our families are in our thoughts and our hearts."

Guests that book the Hampton Webkinz Package online at Hampton.com/toyoffer and
complete their stay now through August 30, 2009 at participating hotel locations
in United States, Canada, and United Kingdom, will receive their choice of
Blossom Bird, Springer Spaniel or Guinea Pig upon check-in while supplies
last.***

Once the Webkinz pet makes it back to its new home, children will be able to use
the pet`s distinct secret code to complete the "adoption" online and begin
creating the pet`s own virtual room. Inside the Webkinz World, there are
additional games, contests, trivia questions and even jobs that the child can
complete. This responsibility, as well as making sure the pet is properly fed
and in good health, are all educational programs for today`s children.

With nearly 1,700 locations throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America
and Europe, Hampton offers guests a value-driven experience wherever they
travel. In each Hampton Hotel, guests will receive a free On the House hot
breakfast, free high-speed internet access in the rooms and lobbies and the
exclusive "100% Hampton Satisfaction Guarantee".
