                                 July 19, 2000

Mr. Leslie V. Bentley
c/o Wyndham International, Inc.
1950 Stemmons Parkway, Suite 6001
Dallas, Texas 75207

Dear Les:

     This letter agreement (the "Agreement") confirms the agreement that we have
reached regarding the termination of your employment with Wyndham International,
Inc. ("WII") and its respective related and affiliated entities (collectively,
the "Companies").

     The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a mutually agreeable
arrangement for ending your employment. This Agreement does not constitute and
should not be construed as an admission by the Companies that they have in any
way violated any legal obligation that they owe to you or to any other person or
as an admission by you that you have in any way violated any legal obligation
that you owe to the Companies or to any other person. To the contrary, the
parties' willingness to enter into this Agreement demonstrates that they are
continuing to deal with each other fairly and in good faith.

     With those understandings and in exchange for the promises set forth below,
you and the Companies agree as follows:

     Termination
     -----------

     You hereby acknowledge that your employment with WII will terminate
effective as of July 31, 2000 (the "Date of Termination"). Any offices or
affiliations that you hold with any of the Companies will also terminate as of
the Date of Termination. You and WII acknowledge that your termination from
employment is a termination for Good Reason as defined by Subparagraph 6(e) of
the April 19, 1999 (Amended and Restated) Executive Employment Agreement between
you and WII (the "Employment Agreement"). Subject to earlier termination in
accordance with Paragraph 6 of the Employment Agreement, (other than Termination
Without Cause pursuant to paragraph 6(d) of the Employment Agreement at anytime
between the date of the Agreement and the Date of Termination, which rights WII
herewith agrees not to exercise), WII will continue your salary and benefits
through the Date of Termination pursuant to Paragraph 7(d) of the Employment
Agreement. In lieu of the pro rata bonus as specified by paragraph 7(d) of the
Employment Agreement, WII shall award you a bonus in respect of 2000 in the
amount of One Hundred Sixty-Nine Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Five Dollars and
Twenty-Eight Cents ($169,635.28) and shall apply the amount of such
<PAGE>

bonus remaining net of applicable withholding taxes to satisfy the $100,000 you
owe WII on a prior loan.

     2.  Compensation and Benefits.
         -------------------------

         (a) Effect of Termination on Equity Grants. You understand and
             --------------------------------------
acknowledge that the Option (as defined in the Employment Agreement) granted to
you on April 19, 1999 will continue to vest for 24 months following the Date of
Termination and remain exercisable thereafter in accordance with and subject to
the terms and conditions of Paragraph 3(c) of the Wyndham International, Inc.
Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement, dated as of April 19, 1999, by and between
you and WII; all other remaining unvested portions of the Option then will
lapse. Your rights to any previously vested stock options and other stock-based
awards granted to you by the Companies shall survive the Date of Termination in
accordance and upon the terms provided in the employee stock option or incentive
plan or any agreement or other instrument attendant thereto pursuant to which
such options or awards were granted.

         (b) Severance. In recognition of your service to WII, and in full
             ---------
satisfaction of any and all claims you may have against the Companies, as more
fully set forth in Paragraph 3 below, the Companies will pay you One Million
Forty Nine Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty Four Dollars ($1,049,334.00) (the
"Severance Payment") subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 7(d)(i) of
the Employment Agreement (as modified by this Agreement), including but not
limited, your continuing strict adherence to the restrictions set forth in
Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Employment Agreement as incorporated and modified
herein below. You acknowledge and agree that this Severance Payment fully and
completely satisfies the Companies' obligation to pay your severance under
Paragraph (7)(d)(i) of the Employment Agreement and the Companies agree that you
have satisfied the requirements of the last sentence of Paragraph 7(d)(i) of the
Employment Agreement in respect of timely delivery of Notice of Termination. The
Severance Payment shall be reduced by applicable withholdings and shall be
payable in equal bi-weekly installments over a period of twenty-four (24) months
commencing on the regular payroll date next following the Date of Termination
(the "Severance Period"). In the event that you commence any employment, whether
as an employee or through self-employment, during the Severance Period, the
Companies shall be entitled to set-off against the remaining installments of the
Severance Payment fifty percent (50%) of the amount of any cash compensation
received by you during the severance period from the new employment. You shall
provide the Companies notice of any new employment and cash compensation
received during the Severance Period after the Date of Termination.

         (c) Health/Dental/Vision Benefits. You and your eligible dependents
             -----------------------------
will be eligible to receive continuation coverage under WII's group health,
dental and vision plans to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29
U.S.C. (S) 1161 et seq. (commonly known as "COBRA") and applicable group health,
dental and vision plan terms. To the extent you and your eligible dependents
elect to continue coverage in one or more plans under COBRA, the Company will
pay the costs of such coverage(s) on your and their behalf until the earlier of
(A)
<PAGE>

twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination Date or (B) the date you become
eligible for similar coverage provided by another employer. WII will permit you
to continue coverage in one or more plans under COBRA at your own cost until the
earlier of (A) eighteen (18) months after the Termination Date or (B) the date
you become eligible for similar coverage provided by another employer.

         (d) Tax Preparation. The Companies shall provide reasonable assistance
             ---------------
in connection with preparation of tax returns, among other support, for a period
of five (5) years beginning on the Date of Termination, in accordance with
Paragraph 7(f) of the Employment Agreement.

         (e) Outplacement. WII shall pay for the reasonable costs (not to exceed
             ------------
$27,000) of executive outplacement services selected by you for use in
connection with obtaining other employment for up to six (6) months from the
Date of Termination or through the date you secure new employment, whichever
occurs first.

         (f) Promissory Notes. The No Personal Liability Nonrecourse Promissory
             ----------------
Note, dated April 19, 1999, made by you and attached to the Employment Agreement
as Exhibit B and the two (2) Recourse Notes made by you in favor of WII (in
original principal amounts of $430,000 and $350,000, respectively)
(collectively, the "Notes"), are hereby amended to provide that so long as you
continue to adhere strictly to your continuing obligations under Paragraphs 4
and 4 of the Employment Agreement, as incorporated and modified herein below,
WII agrees that the principal balance and accrued interest on the Notes shall
not become due and payable until July 31, 2002. In the event you breach any of
our continuing obligations under Paragraphs 4 and 5 of the Employment Agreement,
as incorporated and modified hereinbelow, the principal balance and accrued
interest on the Notes shall become due and payable immediately, in accordance
with their respective terms.

         (g) Gross Up Payment. You remain eligible for a Gross Up Payment, if
             ----------------
necessary, as provided for in Paragraph 8(b) of the Employment Agreement.

         (h) Other Benefits. Except as expressly provided above, your
             --------------
eligibility to participate in any of the Companies' respective employee benefit
plans and programs ceases on or after the Date of Termination in accordance with
the terms and conditions of each of those benefit plans and programs and your
rights to benefits under any of the employee benefit plans and programs, if any,
are governed by the terms and conditions of each of those employee benefit plans
and programs.

     3.  Release of Claims.
         -----------------

         (a) Your Release. Other than claims arising under the Agreement or as

disclaim any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever against you on the part of
themselves and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees and

remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent possible and
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or portion of a provision will
be amended by a court of competent jurisdiction to reflect the parties' intent
if possible. If such amendment is not possible, the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision or portion of a provision will be severed from the
