ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On July 31, 1997, Wyndham Hotel Corporation ("Wyndham") acquired
through merger Kansas City-based ClubHouse Hotels, Inc. ("ClubHouse"), a
privately held hospitality company with a portfolio of 17 hotels operating in
the mid- scale segment of the lodging industry.  Of the hotels comprising
ClubHouse's portfolio, Wyndham acquired through the merger or in related
acquisition transactions ownership of 13 ClubHouse hotels and partial ownership
of 3 ClubHouse hotels.  Wyndham also acquired through the merger ownership of
the "ClubHouse" brand name, as well as the license rights with respect to one
franchised ClubHouse hotel.  Wyndham plans to continue to operate all such
hotels, but will remodel 7 of the hotels and convert them to Wyndham-brand
hotels.  The principal stockholders of ClubHouse were David H. Aull and Roland
W. Samples, each of whom entered into a non-competition and non-disclosure
agreement with Wyndham and Clubhouse providing for consideration to be paid to
each of such individuals in the amount of $500,000.

         The terms of the merger and related transactions were reached
following arms-length negotiations among the parties involved.  The total
consideration paid by Wyndham in connection with the merger and related
transactions included (1) the issuance of 1,599,448 shares of common stock of
Wyndham pursuant to the merger (with the total number of shares issuable
subject to a working capital adjustment to be made in the future), (2) the
assumption of approximately $23.5 million of debt and (3) the payment of
approximately $55.6 million in cash.  The funds necessary to pay cash were
borrowed under Wyndham's revolving credit facility with Bankers Trust Company,
as agent for a group of financial institutions.
