Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the “Company” or “we”) is a lodging-focused real estate company that owns a portfolio of premium hotels and resorts. Our hotels are concentrated in key gateway cities and in destination resort locations and many of our hotels are operated under a brand owned by one of the leading global lodging brand companies (Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”) or Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”)). We are an owner, as opposed to an operator, of the hotels in our portfolio. As an owner, we receive all of the operating profits or losses generated by our hotels after we pay fees to the hotel managers and hotel brands, which are based on the revenues and profitability of the hotels. As of December 31, 2020, we owned 31 hotels with 10,102 rooms, located in the following markets: Atlanta, Georgia; Boston, Massachusetts (2); Burlington, Vermont; Charleston, South Carolina; Chicago, Illinois (2); Denver, Colorado (2); Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Huntington Beach, California; Key West, Florida (2); New York, New York (4); Phoenix, Arizona; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Diego, California; San Francisco, California (2); Sedona, Arizona (2); Sonoma, California; South Lake Tahoe, California; Washington D.C. (2); St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Vail, Colorado. As of December 31, 2020, the Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort (“Frenchman's Reef”) is currently closed as a result of damage incurred from Hurricanes Irma and Maria in September 2017. We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, or UPREIT, in which our hotel properties are owned by our operating partnership, DiamondRock Hospitality Limited Partnership, or subsidiaries of our operating partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of our operating partnership and owns either directly or indirectly 99.6% of the limited partnership units (“common OP units”) of our operating partnership. The remaining 0.4% of the common OP units are held by third parties and executive officers of the Company. See Note 5 for additional disclosures related to common OP units. COVID-19 Pandemic and Management's Response In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic. Since then, the virus has spread throughout the United States and globally. As a result of the pandemic, government mandates and health official recommendations, the demand for lodging has materially decreased. Throughout March and April 2020, we suspended operations at 20 of our 30 previously operating hotels. As of December 31, 2020, we had reopened 17 of those hotels, leaving three of our previously operating hotels unopened. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, one of our hotels closed again and currently remains closed. The hotels that remained open and the hotels that have reopened are operating at historically low occupancy levels. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material adverse impact on our operations and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, but we expect it will continue to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow into 2021. We have taken steps in order to mitigate the ongoing operational and financial impacts on our business. We drew down funds on our $400 million senior unsecured credit facility, suspended our quarterly common dividend, canceled or deferred a significant portion of our capital expenditures planned for 2020, paused the reconstruction of Frenchman's Reef and reduced corporate expenses through decreases in executive compensation, employee headcount and other expenses. Additionally, in coordination with our hotel operators, we developed and implemented action plans to significantly reduce operating costs at each of our hotels. On June 9, 2020, we executed amendments to the credit agreements for our $400 million senior unsecured credit facility and $400 million of unsecured term loans. The amendments provided a waiver of the quarterly tested financial covenants beginning with the second quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021 and certain other modifications to the covenants thereafter through the fourth quarter of 2021. On January 20, 2021, we executed additional amendments to the credit agreements for our senior unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans. These additional amendments extended the existing waiver of the quarterly tested financial covenants through the fourth quarter of 2021 and certain other modifications to the covenants thereafter through the first quarter of 2023. See Note 8 for more information about these amendments. Our future compliance with our covenants following the waiver and modification periods is dependent on a recovery in the lodging industry in our hotel markets. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will meet our financial covenants in the future or that we will be able to obtain additional waivers from our lenders, if needed. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued 4,760,000 shares of 8.250% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), for net proceeds of $114.5 million, and 10,680,856 shares of common stock, for additional net proceeds of $86.8 million. See Note 5 for more information about the preferred and common stock issuances. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had unrestricted cash of $111.8 million and $345.0 million of borrowing capacity on our senior unsecured credit facility.
