Item 5.  Other Events.


         Wyndham International, Inc. (NYSE: WYN) issued a press release
today announcing that it is planning to offer $750 million in principal
amount of senior secured notes due 2008. The offering is expected to be
consummated in early June 2002, subject to market conditions. On May 3,
2002, in anticipation of the issuance of the senior secured notes, Wyndham
International, Inc. entered into the third amendment and restatement of its
bank credit facilities. This amendment and restatement directs the net cash
proceeds of the offering to be applied to repay certain existing
outstanding debt under the bank credit facilities. The press release is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

         Wyndham International, Inc. has stated earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted, guidance for
the full year 2002 of $470 million. To account for the business anomaly
resulting from the events of September 11, 2001, Wyndham indicated that the
EBITDA, as adjusted, for the twelve months ended August 31, 2001, on a pro
forma basis, which reflects adjustments for acquisitions and dispositions
as if they occurred on September 1, 2000, was $578.4 million.
