| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding commitments under third-party contracts of approximately $137 million for capital expenditures at our properties, primarily related to the full-scale renovation of the Ali’i Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort and guestroom renovations at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. Our contracts contain clauses that allow us to cancel all or some portion of the work. If cancellation of a contract occurred, our commitment would be any costs incurred up to the cancellation date, in addition to any costs associated with the discharge of the contract. We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums, and may make certain indemnifications or guarantees to select buyers of our hotels as part of a sale process. Currently, we are in active litigation with a ground lessor who alleges breach of a ground lease(s) related to the Hilton Salt Lake City Center, DoubleTree Hotel San Diego - Mission Valley and/or DoubleTree Hotel Durango, which remain in our portfolio, as well as the DoubleTree Hotel Sonoma Wine Country and/or the DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport for our period of ownership prior to their ground lease expiration in December 31, 2025, and against whom we allege, among other things, breach of the same ground lease(s). We are also involved in claims and litigation that is not in the ordinary course of business in connection with the spin-off from Hilton. The spin-off agreements provide that Hilton will indemnify us from certain of these claims as well as require us to indemnify Hilton for other claims. In addition, losses related to certain contingent liabilities could be apportioned to us under the spin-off agreements. In connection with our obligation to indemnify Hilton under the spin-off agreements, we have reserved approximately $8 million as of June 30, 2026 related to litigation with respect to an audit by the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) of Hilton related to the sale of the Hilton Sydney in June 2015. This amount could change as the litigation of the ATO’s claim progresses.
