Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (the "Parent," or together with its subsidiaries, "Hilton," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is one of the largest hospitality companies in the world and is engaged in managing, franchising, owning and leasing hotels and resorts, and licensing its brands and intellectual property ("IP"). As of June 30, 2020, we managed, franchised, owned or leased 6,215 hotels and resorts, including timeshare properties, totaling 983,465 rooms in 118 countries and territories. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are unaudited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance. In particular, the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic had a material adverse impact on our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and we expect it to continue to have a material adverse impact on our results for an indeterminate length of time. Management is making estimates and judgments in light of these circumstances, and this interim period, as well as upcoming periods, are unlikely to be comparable to past performance or indicative of future performance. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reorganization We recognized $38 million of reorganization costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 related to organizational changes, including reductions in our workforce and the associated costs, as part of our efforts to reduce future costs for our corporate operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, $35 million of such reorganization costs were included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13"), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which significantly changes how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 and subsequent ASUs issued to clarify its application, on a prospective basis, and recognized a $10 million cumulative adjustment, net of taxes, in accumulated deficit. By applying ASU 2016-13 at the adoption date, the presentation of credit losses for periods prior to January 1, 2020 remains unchanged and in accordance with Receivables (Topic 310 ). As a result of the adoption, we consider forecasted business conditions, in addition to current business conditions and historical collection activity, in calculating our allowance for credit losses on our financial instruments. The cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit that we recognized upon adoption of this ASU did not include the impact of the COVID-19 crisis as a forecasted business condition. However, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we revised our expected future credit loss rates from those used at adoption, primarily for our accounts receivable balances, in light of business conditions in the current environment. In particular, we considered the expected impact on our hotel owners' and customers' ability to ultimately settle receivables that are or will be due to us. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenues from Contracts with Customers | Revenues from Contracts with Customers Contract Liabilities The following table summarizes the activity of our contract liabilities, which are classified as a component of current and long-term deferred revenues, during the six months ended June 30, 2020: (in millions) Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ 1,041 Cash received in advance and not recognized as revenue (1)(2) 725 Revenue recognized (1)(3) (110) Other (4) (22) Balance as of June 30, 2020 $ 1,634 ____________ (1) Primarily related to Hilton Honors, our guest loyalty program, which included revenue recognized of $51 million. (2) Includes $636 million recorded as a result of the Hilton Honors points pre-sale to American Express; see below for additional information. (3) During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenue recognized was $56 million and $78 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $135 million. (4) Represents changes in estimated transaction prices for our performance obligations related to points issued under Hilton Honors, which had no effect on revenues. In April 2020, we pre-sold Hilton Honors points to American Express for $1.0 billion in cash ("Honors Points Pre-Sale"), of which $636 million was recorded in deferred revenues and the remainder was recorded in liability for guest loyalty program in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. American Express and their respective designees may use the points in connection with Hilton Honors co-branded credit cards and for promotions, rewards and incentive programs or certain other activities as they may establish or engage in from time to time. We recognize revenue from licensing fees related to these Hilton Honors points when American Express issues the points to customers and other revenues from managed and franchised properties when customers redeem the Hilton Honors points. Performance Obligations As of June 30, 2020, we had deferred revenues for unsatisfied performance obligations consisting of: (i) $422 million related to Hilton Honors that will be recognized as revenues when the points are redeemed, which we estimate will occur over approximately the next two to three years; (ii) $561 million related to the Honors Points Pre-Sale of which a portion will be recognized as revenue when points are awarded, with the remaining portion recognized as revenues when the points are redeemed; and (iii) $651 million related to application, initiation and licensing fees that is expected to be recognized as revenues over the terms of the related contracts. Incentive Management Fees We update our estimates of the expected achievement of incentive management fee targets each reporting period and constrain the recognition of revenue to the extent that we do not expect to achieve the thresholds as specified in our management contracts with incentive fees. Due to revisions of the initial estimates, we reversed certain incentive fees that were recognized in the previous period during the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to the expectation that stated return thresholds to the hotel owners would no longer be met. |

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities | Consolidated Variable Interest Entities As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we consolidated two variable interest entities ("VIEs") that lease hotel properties. 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 their losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. The assets of our consolidated VIEs are only available to settle the obligations of the respective entities. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily comprised the following: June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 41 $ 81 Property and equipment, net 78 69 Deferred income tax assets 53 48 Other non-current assets 63 61 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other 27 49 Long-term debt (1) 195 194 Other long-term liabilities 17 17 ____________ (1) Includes finance lease liabilities of $177 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In June 2020, one of our consolidated VIEs entered into a revolving credit facility to provide financial flexibility in response to business disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic. The revolving credit facility has a borrowing capacity of 2.75 billion Japanese yen (equivalent to $26 million as of June 30, 2020) and matures in June 2021. As of June 30, 2020, no amounts have been drawn under the revolving credit facility. We did not provide any financial or other support to any consolidated VIEs that we were not previously contractually required to provide during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and we are not aware of any future obligations to do so. |

(3) We recognized impairment losses during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that reduced the gross carrying value of our leases intangible asset by $138 million, the accumulated amortization by $92 million and the net carrying value by $46 million. See Note 7: "Fair Value Measurements" for additional information.

In March 2020, as a precautionary measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we fully drew down on our Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2020, we also had $60 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. In April 2020, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "5.375% 2025 Senior Notes") and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes") and incurred $14 million of debt issuance costs. Interest on the 5.375% 2025 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2020. The 4.250% Senior Notes due 2024, the 4.625% Senior Notes due 2025, the 5.375% 2025 Senior Notes, the 5.125% Senior Notes due 2026, the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027, the 2028 Senior Notes and the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2030 are collectively referred to as the Senior Notes and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent and substantially all of its direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, other than Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc. ("HOC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, which is the issuer. The contractual maturities of our long-term debt as of June 30, 2020 were as follows: Year (in millions) 2020 (remaining) $ 20 2021 41 2022 25 2023 21 2024 2,712 Thereafter 7,753 $ 10,572 |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Estimates of the fair values of our financial instruments and nonfinancial assets were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the estimated fair values. The fair values of certain financial instruments and the hierarchy level we used to estimate the fair values are shown below: June 30, 2020 Hierarchy Level Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in millions) Assets: Cash equivalents $ 3,304 $ — $ 3,304 $ — Restricted cash equivalents 12 — 12 — Liabilities: Long-term debt (1) 10,219 5,934 — 4,156 Interest rate swaps 95 — 95 — December 31, 2019 Hierarchy Level Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in millions) Assets: Cash equivalents $ 117 $ — $ 117 $ — Restricted cash equivalents 32 — 32 — Liabilities: Long-term debt (1) 7,731 5,230 — 2,834 Interest rate swaps 37 — 37 — ____________ (1) The carrying values include unamortized deferred financing costs and discount. The carrying values and fair values exclude finance lease liabilities and other debt. We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value, which was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis that reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs of similar instruments, including interest rate curves, as applicable. Our interest rate swaps are included in other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our nonfinancial assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2020, and for which we recorded impairment losses, were related to certain hotel properties under operating and finance leases in our ownership segment. See Note 5: "Finite-Lived Intangible Assets" and Note 8: "Leases" for additional information on the impairment losses related to our leased properties. The fair values, which were determined using significant Level 3 unobservable inputs, were as follows: (in millions) Other intangible assets, net (1) $ — Operating lease right-of-use assets (1) 34 Property and equipment, net (1) 8 ____________ (1) Amounts were measured at March 31, 2020, except for $10 million of operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, which were remeasured at June 30, 2020. We recognized impairment losses during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to certain hotel properties under operating and finance leases. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the short-term expected results for certain of these leased hotels declined from estimates used in the assessment of recoverability at March 31, 2020, generally due to extensions of government mandated closures and additional visibility into expected hotel customer engagement at such properties. As a result, further analysis of the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets related to leased hotel properties was necessary at June 30, 2020. We assessed recoverability of the assets included in the table above using estimates of undiscounted net cash flows, and concluded that the carrying values of the assets were not fully recoverable. We then estimated the fair value of these assets using discounted cash flow analyses, which included an estimate of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each leased property based on the expected recovery term. The stabilized growth rates after recovery and discount rates used for the fair value of the assets reflect the risk profile of the underlying cash flows and the individual markets where the assets are located, and are not necessarily indicative of our hotel portfolio as a whole. Estimations of stabilized growth rates after the recovery period ranged from 1.7 percent to 4.8 percent, and discount rates ranged from 7.0 percent to 12.0 percent, with the weighted average, based on relative impairment losses, for both inputs being at the lower end of each of the ranges. As a result of these non-recurring fair value measurements, we recognized impairment losses of $6 million and $118 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The fair values of financial instruments not included in these tables are estimated to be equal to their carrying values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. |

Leases | Leases We lease hotel properties, land, corporate office space and equipment used at hotels and corporate offices, with our most significant lease liabilities related to hotel properties. As of June 30, 2020, we leased 52 hotels under operating leases and six hotels under finance leases, two of which were the liabilities of consolidated VIEs and were non-recourse to us. Our hotel leases expire at various dates, with varying renewal and termination options. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $6 million and $51 million of impairment losses related to certain operating lease ROU assets, respectively, and, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $21 million of impairment losses related to property and equipment, including $2 million of finance lease ROU assets. All of these impairment losses were included in impairment losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations; see Note 7: "Fair Value Measurements" for additional information. Our future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2020 were as follows: Operating Finance Year (in millions) 2020 (remaining) $ 116 $ 32 2021 167 48 2022 137 37 2023 123 30 2024 103 30 Thereafter 752 137 Total minimum lease payments 1,398 314 Less: imputed interest (310) (69) Total lease liabilities $ 1,088 $ 245 |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes At the end of each quarter, we estimate the effective income tax rate expected to be applied for the full year to ordinary income, which excludes discrete items. Discrete items that were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 included impairment losses and the vesting of certain share-based compensation awards, which provided us with tax benefits. The effective income tax rate for the full year is determined by the level and composition of income (loss) before income taxes, excluding discrete items as discussed above, which is subject to federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. The Company's forecast includes losses for the full year in many foreign jurisdictions. For certain foreign jurisdictions, we expect to have net operating losses ("NOLs"), which we expect to be utilized in future periods. However, as future utilization of NOLs reduces foreign taxes paid, we expect U.S. foreign tax credits to be reduced, thereby reducing or eliminating the tax benefit of the NOLs on a global basis. Because of the reduced global tax benefit of NOLs in these specific jurisdictions, our effective income tax rate estimate is lower than the combined U.S. statutory rate. Due to forecasted losses before income taxes for the full year, the Company is forecasting an overall tax benefit. We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. We are under regular and recurring audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other taxing authorities on open tax positions. The timing of the resolution of tax audits is highly uncertain, as are the amounts, if any, that may ultimately be paid upon such resolution. Changes may result from the conclusion of ongoing audits, appeals or litigation in federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions or from the resolution of various proceedings between the U.S. and foreign tax authorities. As of June 30, 2020, we remain subject to federal and state examinations of our income tax returns for tax years from 2005 through 2018 and foreign examinations of our income tax returns for tax years from 1996 through 2019. Our total unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $428 million and $395 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had accrued approximately $59 million and $52 million, respectively, for interest and penalties related to these unrecognized tax benefits. Included in the balances of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $388 million and $380 million, respectively, associated with positions that, if favorably resolved, would provide a benefit to our effective income tax rate. In prior periods, we received 30-day Letters from the IRS and the Revenue Agents Reports ("RARs") for the 2006 through the 2013 tax years. We disagreed with several of the proposed adjustments in the RARs and filed formal appeals protests with the IRS. The unsettled proposed adjustments sought by the IRS for the tax years with open audits would result in additional U.S. federal taxes owed of approximately $817 million, excluding interest and penalties and potential state income taxes. We disagree with the IRS's position on each of their assertions and intend to vigorously contest them. However, based on continuing appeals process discussions with the IRS, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will not recognize the full benefit related to certain of the issues being appealed. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2020, we had recorded $78 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to these issues. |

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation We recognized share-based compensation expense of $24 million and $47 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $12 million and $81 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which included amounts reimbursed by hotel owners in all periods. The expenses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were net of the reversal of expenses recognized in prior periods, as a result of the determination that the performance conditions of certain share-based compensation awards were no longer probable of achievement, as described in further detail below. As part of the Hilton 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), we award time-vesting restricted stock units and restricted stock (collectively, "RSUs"), nonqualified stock options ("options") and performance-vesting RSUs ("performance shares") to our eligible employees. As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards under the 2017 Plan were approximately $138 million, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years on a straight-line basis. As of June 30, 2020, there were 12,541,000 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2017 Plan, plus any shares subject to awards outstanding under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which will become available for issuance under the 2017 Plan if such outstanding awards expire or are terminated or are canceled or forfeited. RSUs During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted 907,000 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $93.43, which generally vest in equal annual installments over two Options During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted 755,000 options with a weighted average exercise price per share of $93.33, which vest over three years from the date of grant in equal annual installments and terminate 10 years from the date of grant or earlier if the individual’s service terminates under certain circumstances. The weighted average grant date fair value per share of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $21.47, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Expected volatility (1) 23.69 % Dividend yield (2) 0.55 % Risk-free rate (3) 0.96 % Expected term (in years) (4) 6.0 ____________ (1) Estimated using historical movement of Hilton's stock price. (2) Estimated based on the quarterly dividend and the three-month average stock price at the date of grant. (3) Based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar expected lives. (4) Estimated using the average of the vesting periods and the contractual term of the options. As of June 30, 2020, 1,965,000 options were exercisable. Performance Shares During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we granted 347,000 performance shares with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $93.33. The performance shares are settled at the end of the three-year performance period with: (i) 50 percent of the awards subject to achievement based on the compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of the Company's earnings before interest expense, income tax benefit (expense) and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted to exclude certain items ("Adjusted EBITDA") and (ii) 50 percent of the awards subject to achievement based on the Company’s free cash flow per share CAGR. The total number of performance shares that vest related to each performance measure is based on an achievement factor, which is estimated each reporting period, that ranges from a zero percent to 200 percent payout, with 100 percent being the target. As of June 30, 2020, we determined that the performance conditions for the outstanding 2018 and 2019 performance shares were not probable of achievement and that the performance conditions for the outstanding 2020 performance shares were probable of achievement, for which we recognized compensation expense at the target achievement percentage. Based on revisions to our estimates of the achievement factor for the outstanding 2018 and 2019 awards, the share-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020 is net of the reversal of prior expense recognized related to the outstanding 2019 performance shares, and the expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 is net of the reversal of prior expense recognized related to the outstanding 2018 and 2019 performance shares. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Business Segments | Business Segments We are a hospitality company with operations organized in two distinct operating segments: (i) management and franchise and (ii) ownership. These segments are managed and reported separately because of their distinct economic characteristics. The management and franchise segment includes all of the hotels we manage for third-party owners, as well as all franchised hotels operated or managed by someone other than us. This segment also earns licensing fees from Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. ("HGV") and strategic partnerships for the right to use certain Hilton marks and IP, as well as fees for managing properties in our ownership segment. As of June 30, 2020, this segment included 690 managed hotels and 5,405 franchised hotels consisting of 953,946 total rooms. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 1,170 hotels in our management and franchise segment had temporarily suspended operations at some point in time during the six months ended June 30, 2020, largely beginning in mid-March. Of these hotels, more than half had reopened as of June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the ownership segment included 65 properties totaling 20,562 rooms. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 35 hotels in our ownership segment had temporarily suspended operations at some point in time during the six months ended June 30, 2020, largely beginning in mid-March, of which approximately 10 had reopened as of June 30, 2020. The segment comprised 57 hotels that we wholly owned or leased, one hotel owned by a consolidated non-wholly owned entity, two hotels leased by consolidated VIEs and five hotels owned or leased by unconsolidated affiliates. The performance of our operating segments is evaluated primarily on operating income (loss), without allocating other revenues and expenses or general and administrative expenses. The following table presents revenues for our reportable segments, reconciled to consolidated amounts: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (in millions) Franchise and licensing fees $ 134 $ 445 $ 476 $ 830 Base and other management fees (1) 12 106 78 198 Incentive management fees (5) 58 18 113 Management and franchise 141 609 572 1,141 Ownership 31 387 241 699 Segment revenues 172 996 813 1,840 Amortization of contract acquisition costs (7) (7) (15) (14) Other revenues 10 26 33 52 Direct reimbursements from managed and franchised properties (2) 196 789 941 1,564 Indirect reimbursements from managed and franchised properties (2) 192 691 712 1,265 Intersegment fees elimination (1) 1 (11) — (19) Total revenues $ 564 $ 2,484 $ 2,484 $ 4,688 ____________ (1) Includes management, royalty and IP fees charged to our ownership segment by our management and franchise segment, which were eliminated in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies We provide performance guarantees to certain owners of hotels that we operate under management contracts. Most of these guarantees allow us to terminate the contract, rather than fund shortfalls, if specified operating performance levels are not achieved. However, in limited cases, we are obligated to fund performance shortfalls, creating variable interests in the ownership entities of the hotels, of which we are not the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2020, we had four performance guarantees, with expirations ranging from 2023 to 2039, and possible cash outlays totaling approximately $19 million. Our obligations under these guarantees in future periods are dependent on the operating performance level of the related hotel over the remaining term of the performance guarantee. We have included the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these hotels in our expectations of their future operating performance and, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we accrued current liabilities of $10 million and $3 million, respectively, for our performance guarantees. We do not have any letters of credit pledged as collateral against our performance guarantees. We may enter into new contracts containing performance guarantees in the future, which could increase our possible cash outlays. We hold interests in VIEs, for which we are not the primary beneficiary, that have entered into loan agreements with third parties. Under the terms of our contractual arrangements with certain of these VIEs, we may provide financial support to such entities under specified circumstances, including default of such a VIE under a third-party loan agreement, and may have the option to acquire a controlling financial interest in such an entity at a predetermined amount. In a circumstance that we provide financial support or exercise our option to acquire an additional interest in a VIE, we may be required to reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we would be required to consolidate the total assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VIE, which may be material upon consolidation. As of June 30, 2020, we guaranteed two loans for three hotels that we franchise or will franchise for a total of $30 million. One of the loans has an initial maturity date in 2022 with two one-year extension options, and the other loan will mature in 2023. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and our assessment of expected losses under these guarantees, we accrued a current liability of $20 million as of June 30, 2020 for the guarantee of one of these loans. We do not have any letters of credit pledged as collateral against these guarantees. We have entered into an agreement with the owner of a hotel that we manage to finance capital expenditures at the hotel. As of June 30, 2020, we had remaining possible cash outlays related to this agreement of approximately $10 million; however, we cannot currently estimate the timing of the payments or if they will be made at all. We receive fees from managed and franchised properties to operate our marketing, sales and brand programs on behalf of hotel owners. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had collected an aggregate of $150 million and $350 million in excess of amounts expended, respectively, across all 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 June 30, 2020 will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13"), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which significantly changes how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 and subsequent ASUs issued to clarify its application, on a prospective basis, and recognized a $10 million cumulative adjustment, net of taxes, in accumulated deficit. By applying ASU 2016-13 at the adoption date, the presentation of credit losses for periods prior to January 1, 2020 remains unchanged and in accordance with Receivables (Topic 310 ). As a result of the adoption, we consider forecasted business conditions, in addition to current business conditions and historical collection activity, in calculating our allowance for credit losses on our financial instruments. The cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit that we recognized upon adoption of this ASU did not include the impact of the COVID-19 crisis as a forecasted business condition. However, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we revised our expected future credit loss rates from those used at adoption, primarily for our accounts receivable balances, in light of business conditions in the current environment. In particular, we considered the expected impact on our hotel owners' and customers' ability to ultimately settle receivables that are or will be due to us. |
