Consolidated Variable Interest Entities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we consolidated two VIEs that each lease one hotel property, both of which are located in Japan, and for which the assets are only available to settle the obligations of the respective entities and the liabilities of the respective entities are non-recourse to us. We consolidated these VIEs since we are the primary beneficiary, having the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to each of the VIEs individually.

Our consolidated balance sheets include the assets and liabilities of these entities, including the effect of foreign currency translation, which primarily comprised the following:
