Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Although our management contracts may include performance clauses, most of these clauses do not require us to fund shortfalls but instead allow the owner to terminate the contract if specified operating performance levels are not achieved. In limited cases, we have provided performance guarantees that obligate us to fund these shortfalls. As of December 31, 2025, we had performance guarantees with expirations ranging from 2026 to 2043 and possible cash outlays totaling $22 million. We also have extended debt guarantees and provided loan commitments to owners of certain hotels that we currently or in the future will manage or franchise. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized losses of $50 million in other non-operating loss, net in our consolidated statement of operations and paid $77 million for debt guarantees extended to certain hotels we manage. Our debt guarantees and loan commitments as of December 31, 2025 had expirations ranging from 2027 to 2035 and remaining possible cash outlays totaling $61 million. The performance and debt guarantees and loan commitments create variable interests in the ownership entities of the related hotels, of which we are not the primary beneficiary. We receive program fees from property owners and strategic partners that are used to operate our Hilton Honors program, marketing, sales and brands programs and other shared services on behalf of property owners. If we collect amounts in excess of amounts expended, we have a commitment to spend these amounts on the related programs. We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which include claims for substantial sums. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we expect that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation as of December 31, 2025 will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
