Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 16: Commitments and Contingencies As of December 31, 2019, we had outstanding commitments under third-party contracts of approximately $43 million for capital expenditures at certain hotels. 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 may make certain indemnifications or guarantees to select buyers of our hotels as part of the sale process. In addition, losses related to certain contingent liabilities could be apportioned to us under the distribution and tax matters agreements related to the spin-off transaction. We are involved in litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. 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 indemnify us from certain of these claims as well as require us to indemnify Hilton. In connection with our obligation to indemnify Hilton under the spin-off agreements, we have reserved approximately $7 million related to ongoing claims as of December 31, 2019 with respect to an audit by the Australian Tax Office (“ATO”) related to the sale of the Hilton Sydney in June 2015. This amount could change as more information becomes available about the progress of Hilton’s defense against the ATO’s claim.
