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, 2024 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 Contingencies Many of our hotels in Florida were affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which made landfall in September and October 2024, respectively. Due to evacuation mandates and/or loss of commercial power, four of our properties in Florida were temporarily closed, three of which have reopened. The most significant damage sustained during the storms occurred at The Don CeSar, which closed on September 25, 2024, following a mandatory evacuation order prior to the landfall of Hurricane Helene. The Don CeSar sustained extensive damage due to storm surge, which flooded the lower level of the hotel, including the fitness center, two food and beverage ("F&B") outlets, retail outlets and the resort's beach club. Remediation efforts are underway, and we currently expect a phased reopening of the hotel beginning late in the first quarter of 2025. Limited property damage was reported at the other Florida properties within our consolidated portfolio. We are still evaluating the complete scope of property damage and business interruption loss at our Florida properties. At The Don CeSar, our current estimate of the book value of the property and equipment written off and remediation costs is approximately $51 million, for which we have recorded a corresponding insurance receivable of $51 million. We believe our insurance coverage should be sufficient to cover substantially all of the property damage and the near-term loss of business in excess of our insurance deductibles; therefore, we have not recorded any loss related to The Don CeSar on the consolidated statements of operations as of December 31, 2024. However, for certain of our other properties, we have recorded a loss of $6 million related to property damage and remediation costs for which we will not be filing an insurance claim. The loss is included in net gain on insurance settlements on our consolidated statements of operations as of December 31, 2024. In September 2022, the majority of our hotels in Florida were affected by Hurricane Ian. 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 its guestrooms, suites and amenities, including the new tower expansion and completed the final restoration step of bringing the permanent central energy plant online in April 2024. We have received the final total settlement of $308 million of insurance proceeds related to claims resulting from Hurricane Ian. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, $19 million and $80 million, respectively, was recognized as a gain on business interruption, and $72 million and $3 million, respectively, was recognized as a gain on property insurance, which are both included in net gain on insurance settlements on our consolidated statements of operations. Maui Wildfires We recognized $21 million of business interruption proceeds in 2024 representing the final settlement from claims resulting from the August 2023 wildfires in Maui. This is included in net gain on insurance settlements on our consolidated statements of operations. There was no property damage caused by the event. 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.
