Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract] |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION As part of our Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, "LTIP"), we award time-vested stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), RSUs, and performance-vested restricted stock units ("PSUs") to certain employees and non-employee directors. In addition, non-employee directors may elect to receive their annual fees and/or annual equity retainers in the form of shares of our Class A common stock. Compensation expense and unearned compensation presented below exclude amounts related to employees of our managed hotels and other employees whose payroll is reimbursed, as these expenses have been, and will continue to be, reimbursed by our third-party owners and are recognized in revenues for reimbursed costs and reimbursed costs on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Stock-based compensation expense recognized in general and administrative expenses, owned and leased expenses, distribution expenses, and transaction and integration costs on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) related to our awards was as follows:

Total | $ | 15 |  |  | $ | 9 |  |  | $ | 61 |  |  | $ | 55 |
SARs—During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we granted 311,519 SARs to employees with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $53.17. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we granted 223,410 SARs to employees with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $68.77. RSUs—During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we granted 568,659 RSUs to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $125.64. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we granted 301,104 RSUs to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $156.34. PSUs—During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we granted 267,389 PSUs to employees with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $144.84. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we granted 64,776 PSUs to employees with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $164.99. Our total unearned compensation for our stock-based compensation programs at September 30, 2025 was $3 million for SARs, $49 million for RSUs, and $23 million for PSUs, which will be recognized in general and administrative expenses, owned and leased expenses, distribution expenses, and transaction and integration costs on our condensed consolidated statements of income (loss) over a weighted-average period of three years with respect to SARs, two years with respect to RSUs, and one year with respect to PSUs. Playa Hotels Acquisition Continuing Awards—During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, in conjunction with the Playa Hotels Acquisition (see Note 7), we assumed the Continuing Awards that were previously granted to continuing employees under the Playa Hotels Plan and converted each award into RSUs (the "Assumed Awards"). The number of shares issued for the Assumed Awards was based on the number of ordinary shares subject to such Continuing Award immediately prior to the closing of the Playa Hotels Acquisition multiplied by the applicable exchange ratio. Vesting for awards eligible to vest based on performance goals was determined based on relevant provisions in underlying award agreements, with such vesting occurring either (i) as though the greater of target performance or actual performance had been achieved or (ii) as though target performance had been achieved, except that, all such awards granted during 2024 vested at the applicable maximum performance level. The Assumed Awards continue to be governed by the terms of the Playa Hotels Plan and are subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Continuing Awards, except that if the holder of an Assumed Award is terminated without "cause" or terminates employment for "good reason" within 12 to 24 months, as applicable for specified holders, following the closing of the Playa Hotels Acquisition, such holder's Assumed Awards will vest in full, subject to execution of a release.
