Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings, Guarantees and Contingencies	Legal Proceedings, Guarantees and Contingencies Various legal proceedings arise in the ordinary course of our business regarding the operation of our hotels and company matters. To the extent not covered by insurance, these lawsuits generally fall into the following broad categories: disputes involving hotel-level contracts, employment litigation, compliance with laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, tax disputes and other general matters. Under our management agreements, our operators have broad latitude to resolve individual hotel-level claims for amounts generally less than $150,000. However, for matters exceeding such threshold, our operators may not settle claims without our consent. Based on our analysis of legal proceedings with which the Company and our hotel managers are currently involved or of which we are aware and the resolution of similar claims in the past, we have recorded immaterial accruals as of December 31, 2023 related to such claims. We have estimated that, in the aggregate, our losses related to these proceedings will not be material. We are not aware of any other matters with a reasonably possible unfavorable outcome for which disclosure of a loss contingency is required. No assurances can be given as to the outcome of any pending legal proceedings. Hurricane Loss Contingency While the majority of our hotels in Florida were affected by Hurricane Ian, which made landfall on September 28, 2022, the most significant damage sustained during the storm occurred at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples and Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa. The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point reopened to guests in November 2022, with the final phase of reconstruction, the resort's waterpark, completed in June 2023. On July 6, 2023, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples reopened the guestrooms, suites and amenities, including the new tower expansion. Our current estimate of the book value of the property and equipment written off and remediation costs is approximately $130 million, for which we recorded a corresponding insurance receivable. As of December 31, 2023, we have received $213 million of insurance proceeds related to these claims, of which $130 million reduced our receivable to zero, and, in 2023, $80 million was recognized as a gain on business interruption, and $3 million was recognized as a gain on property insurance, which are both included in gain on insurance settlements on our consolidated statements of operations. Tax Indemnification Agreements Because of certain federal and state income tax considerations of the former owners of two hotels currently owned by Host L.P., we have agreed to restrictions on selling such hotels, or repaying or refinancing mortgage debt, for varying periods. One of these agreements expires in 2028 and the other in 2031.
