| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Accounting | The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes (the "Notes") include Hyatt Hotels Corporation and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries as well as entities consolidated under the variable interest entity ("VIE") model and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. |
| Consolidation | Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are all of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

| Future Adoption of Accounting Standards | Future Adoption of Accounting Standards Disclosure Improvements—In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-06 ("ASU 2023-06"), Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. ASU 2023-06 modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements for certain FASB Accounting Standards Codification topics to align with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regulations. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from its regulations becomes effective, if the SEC removes the disclosure by June 30, 2027. The provisions of ASU 2023-06 are to be applied prospectively, with early adoption prohibited. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-06 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes. Expense Disaggregation Disclosures—In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses presented on the consolidated statements of income (loss), including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, as clarified by Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively for any or all prior periods presented. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03. Internal-Use Software—In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06 ("ASU 2025-06"), Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requires entities to begin capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur: (1) management authorizes and commits to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The provisions of ASU 2025-06 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a modified transition approach. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2025-06. Government Grants—In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-10 ("ASU 2025-10"), Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. ASU 2025-10 establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting and presentation of government grants received by a business entity. The provisions of ASU 2025-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied retrospectively or with a modified prospective or retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10. Interim Reporting—In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-11 ("ASU 2025-11"), Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. ASU 2025-11 clarifies the applicability of interim reporting guidance, provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and establishes a disclosure principle that requires disclosure of material events that occurred after the end of the last annual reporting period. The provisions of ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11. Codification Improvements—In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-12 ("ASU 2025-12"), Codification Improvements. The amendments in ASU 2025-12 represent changes to certain FASB Accounting Standards Codification topics that clarify, correct errors, or make minor improvements. The provisions of ASU 2025-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption and transition method may be elected on an issue-by-issue basis. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-12 to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes.

| Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations | Revenue Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized as revenue in future periods.
|
| Insurance | Insurance—We obtain insurance for potential losses from general liability, property, automobile, aviation, environmental, workers' compensation, employment practices, crime, cyber, and other miscellaneous risks. A portion of these risks is retained through a U.S.-based and licensed captive insurance company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyatt and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. |
| Other Commitments and Contingencies | Other—We act as general partner of various partnerships owning hotel properties that are subject to mortgage indebtedness. These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender's recourse to security interests in assets financed and/or other assets of the partnership(s) and/or the general partner(s) thereof. In conjunction with financing obtained for our unconsolidated hospitality ventures and certain managed or franchised properties, we may provide standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability, or damage occurring as a result of our actions, actions of the other unconsolidated hospitality venture partners, or actions by the respective third-party owners or franchisees. As a result of certain dispositions, we have agreed to provide customary indemnifications to third-party purchasers for certain liabilities incurred prior to sale and for breach of certain representations and warranties made during the sales process, such as representations of valid title, authority, and environmental issues that may not be limited by a contractual monetary amount. These indemnification agreements survive until the applicable statutes of limitation expire or until the agreed-upon contract terms expire. We are subject to various claims and contingencies arising in the normal course of business, which are primarily related to lawsuits and taxes (see Note 12), as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. We record a liability when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable, and if the loss is recoverable from third parties, we record a receivable when the realization of the claim is probable. Based on information currently available, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

| Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION Our reportable segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Our CODM is our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. We define our operating and reportable segments as follows: •Management and franchising—This segment derives its earnings primarily from the provision of management, franchising, and hotel services, or the licensing of our intellectual property to (i) our portfolio of properties, (ii) our co-branded credit card programs, and (iii) other hospitality-related businesses. Intersegment revenues relate to management and franchise fees earned from our owned and leased hotels and commission fees earned from certain ALG Vacations bookings, both of which are eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, we recognize revenues for reimbursed costs in this segment primarily related to payroll at managed properties where we are the employer, as well as costs associated with system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. •Owned and leased—This segment derives its earnings from owned and leased hotel properties located predominantly in the Americas, but also in certain other international locations. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany management and franchise fee expenses paid to our management and franchising segment, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues relate to free night award redemptions earned by our owned and leased hotels related to our co-branded credit card programs and are eliminated in consolidation. •Distribution—This segment derives its earnings primarily from distribution and destination management services offered through ALG Vacations and the boutique and luxury global travel platform offered through Mr & Mrs Smith. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany commission fee expenses paid to our management and franchising segment, which are eliminated in consolidation. Within overhead, we include unallocated corporate expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to no longer include our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures' Adjusted EBITDA, and we recast prior-period results to provide comparability. The revised definition is consistent with information provided to our CODM. Our CODM evaluates performance based on segment revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Our CODM uses these measures to evaluate trends and assess segment operating performance as compared to our prior-period and forecasted results as well as our industry and competitors in order to determine how to allocate resources to each segment. Significant segment expenses include Adjusted general and administrative expenses, owned and leased expenses, and distribution expenses. Our CODM does not evaluate our operating segments using discrete asset information. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, adjusted to exclude payments to customers ("contra revenue"), including performance cure payments and amortization of management and hotel services agreement and franchise agreement assets ("key money assets"); revenues for reimbursed costs; reimbursed costs that we intend to recover over the long term; stock-based compensation expense; transaction and integration costs; depreciation and amortization; equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; interest expense; gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other; asset impairments; other income (loss), net; and benefit (provision) for income taxes. Adjusted general and administrative expenses excludes the impact of deferred compensation plans funded through rabbi trusts and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted general and administrative expenses assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that do not reflect our core operations, both on a segment and consolidated basis.
