Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting PoliciesBasis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Braemar Hotels & Resorts Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned entities in which it has a controlling interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated financial statements. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 10, 2022. Braemar OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Braemar OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Braemar OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Braemar OP. The following items affect reporting comparability of our historical condensed consolidated financial statements: •historical seasonality patterns at some of our hotel properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022; •on August 5, 2021, we acquired the Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel and five adjacent luxury residences. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date; and •on March 11, 2022, we acquired The Ritz-Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach hotel located in Dorado, Puerto Rico. The operating results of the hotel property have been included in the results of operations from its acquisition date. Use of Estimates—The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards—In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU: (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. We adopted ASU 2020-06 through the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2022. Upon adoption, our Convertible Senior Notes are recorded as a single debt instrument at amortized cost, instead of being recorded as both a liability and equity. The Company ceased recording non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of the debt discount associated with the conversion features. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 resulted in an adjustment to additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit, and the carrying value of our Convertible Senior Notes. The impact of adopting ASU 2020-06 includes an increase to “indebtedness, net” and a decrease to stockholders’ equity of approximately $5.6 million. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, beyond the impact to our Convertible Senior Notes described above. The impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulted in a decrease to net interest expense by $280,000 and $826,000, respectively, relating to the non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of the debt discount. The adoption had no effect on our basic and diluted net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Recently Issued Accounting Standards—In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”) to provide guidance and relief for transitioning to alternative reference rates. ASU 2021-01 is effective immediately for all entities. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.
