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 the majority of our hotels are operated under a brand owned by one of the leading global lodging brand companies (Marriott International, Inc. or Hilton Worldwide). 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 September 30, 2021, we owned 31 hotels with 9,133 guest rooms, located in the following markets: Atlanta, Georgia; Boston, Massachusetts (2); Burlington, Vermont; Charleston, South Carolina; Chicago, Illinois (2); Denver, Colorado (2); Destin, Florida; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Fort Worth, Texas; Huntington Beach, California; Key West, Florida (2); New Orleans, Louisiana; New York, New York (3); 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) and Vail, Colorado. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we sold the Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort (“Frenchman's Reef”), located in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and The Lexington Hotel, located in New York, New York. See Note 9 for further discussion of these sales. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we acquired the Bourbon Orleans Hotel, located in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the Henderson Park Inn, located in Destin, Florida. See Note 10 for further discussion of these acquisitions. 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 99.7% of the limited partnership units (“common OP units”) of our operating partnership as of September 30, 2021. The remaining 0.3% 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. Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, a global pandemic. The virus spread throughout the United States and globally. As a result of the pandemic, government mandates and health official recommendations, the overall demand for lodging materially decreased. We suspended operations at 20 of our 30 previously operating hotels for a portion of 2020. For a portion of the nine months ended September 30, 2021, four of our previously operating hotels were closed. As of September 30, 2021, and for the three months then ended, all of our owned hotels were open. We have taken aggressive steps to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic's operational and financial impacts on our business, as described in our consolidated financial statements contained within our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material adverse impact on our operations and financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic showed signs of moderating in the first half of 2021; however, given the emergence of variant strains, case counts increased in the third quarter of 2021. Currently, case counts are declining; however, the severity and duration of the pandemic cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2021. Demand at our leisure-focused hotels improved in the latter part of 2020 and into the third quarter of 2021. Demand at our other hotels, however, remains at historically low levels. Several markets throughout the country experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 case counts during certain periods in 2021 and reimplemented or strengthened closures, quarantines, and social distancing requirements. The effectiveness and wide distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as other public health and geopolitical factors, have generally reduced COVID-19 case counts. We believe that these factors, coupled with improved global distribution of the vaccine and the potential approval of vaccines for children and booster shots for the general population, are likely to positively impact the timing, pace, and extent of a lodging demand recovery. The emergence of new variant strains of COVID-19, however, has the potential to slow or reverse these positive trends in the fourth quarter of 2021 and beyond.
