Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
General | RLJ Lodging Trust (the "Company") was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT") on January 31, 2011. The Company is a self-advised and self-administered REIT that acquires primarily premium-branded, high-margin, focused-service and compact full-service hotels. The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2011. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2021, there were 167,274,893 units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP units”) outstanding and the Company owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 99.5% of the outstanding OP units. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned 98 hotel properties with approximately 21,700 rooms, located in 22 states and the District of Columbia. The Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owned a 100% interest in 96 of its hotel properties, a 95.0% controlling interest in The Knickerbocker, and a 50% interest in an entity owning one hotel property. The Company consolidates its real estate interests in the 97 hotel properties in which it holds a controlling financial interest, and the Company records the real estate interests in one hotel in which it holds an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. The Company leases 97 of the 98 hotel properties to its taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"), of which the Company owns a controlling financial interest. COVID-19 The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had, and will likely continue to have, a material impact on the Company's financial results. Since the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company's operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, the Company cannot estimate the impact on its business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty.
