Wyndham Hotels to Offer Allergy-Friendly Rooms and Meeting Spaces

PARSIPPANY, NJ, Aug 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
Health-conscious travelers -- especially those suffering from allergies
and asthma -- may breathe easier at Wyndham(R) hotels thanks to the
upscale chain's new Wyndham ClearAir(SM) initiative to offer
allergy-friendly guest accommodations.

While eight Wyndham hotels offer the rooms today, all will be required to
convert 10 percent of their room inventory or a minimum of 25 rooms into
allergy-friendly environments by the end of 2009. Wyndham Hotels and
Resorts is the first national upscale lodging chain to mandate
allergy-friendly rooms systemwide.

The chain's move responds to guest concerns over rising consumer health
issues and costs associated with allergic reactions. According to the
Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, allergies and asthma affect one
in four Americans.

Following a system designed by New York-based PURE Solutions NA, Wyndham
ClearAir rooms undergo a multistep cleaning process designed to remove up
to 98 percent of allergens.

First, guest room walls, carpeting, bedcovers and fabrics are sanitized
and treated with a long-lasting microbial shield, making them free from
odors and resistant to bacteria and viruses. Next, a medical-grade air
purification system is installed.

Air-handling units and vents are deep-cleaned and equipped with PURE
Solutions' signature tea tree oil cartridge, which acts as a natural
antiseptic and disinfectant to maintain sanitary conditions.

In hotel meeting rooms, air is purified at greater intensity and filtrated
eight times more frequently than standard air-handling systems. The goal
is to achieve 99.9 percent effective treatment of air and surfaces.

"We want to offer Wyndham guests amenities that are smart, innovative and,
more important, useful," said Peter Strebel, Wyndham Hotels and Resorts
president. "As travelers continue to focus on wellness, we're excited to
offer ClearAir Rooms as a healthy amenity for Wyndham guests and meeting
attendees."

Guests can find ClearAir rooms by PURE Solutions at the Wyndham Miami
Airport Hotel & Executive Meeting Center; Wyndham Lisle-Chicago Hotel &
Executive Meeting Center; Wyndham Peachtree Conference Center in Atlanta,
Ga.; The Tremont House - A Wyndham Historic Hotel in Galveston, Texas; the
Wyndham Rio Mar Beach Resort and Spa in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico; Wyndham
Sugar Bay Resort and Spa in St. Thomas, the U.S. Virgin Islands; the
Wyndham Princeton Forrestal Hotel and Conference Center in New Jersey; and
Wyndham Glenview Suites in Illinois.

This fall, these hotels also will offer Wyndham ClearAir rooms: Wyndham

Virginia; and Wyndham Drake Oak Brook in Illinois. For more information,
