Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Other Investments	Note 7. Other Investments Equity Method Investment As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we owned 34% of Sonesta’s outstanding common stock. We account for our 34% non-controlling interest in Sonesta under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our investment in Sonesta had a carrying value of $108,106 and $113,304, respectively. On the date of acquisition of our initial equity interest in Sonesta (February 27, 2020), the cost basis of our investment in Sonesta exceeded our proportionate share of Sonesta’s total stockholders’ equity book value by an aggregate of $8,000. As required under GAAP, we are amortizing this difference to equity in earnings of an investee over 31 years, the weighted average remaining useful life of the real estate assets and intangible assets and liabilities owned by Sonesta as of the date of our acquisition. We recorded amortization of the basis difference of $65 in each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and $130 in each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. We recognized losses related to our investment in Sonesta of $2,716 and earnings of $517 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and losses of $8,054 and $3,704 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts, which include amortization of the basis difference, are included in equity in earnings (losses) of an investee in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We recorded a liability of $42,000 for the fair value of our initial investment in Sonesta, as no cash consideration was exchanged related to the modification of our management agreement with, and investment in, Sonesta. This liability for our investment in Sonesta is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized on a straight line basis through the initial term of the Sonesta agreement, January 31, 2037, as a reduction to hotel operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We reduced hotel operating expenses by $621 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and $1,242 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 for amortization of this liability. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unamortized balance of this liability was $31,237 and $32,479, respectively. In March 2024, we made a $3,392 pro rata capital contribution to Sonesta to support its growth initiatives, including its franchising efforts. We continue to maintain our 34% ownership in Sonesta after giving effect to this contribution. See Notes 6 and 11 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with Sonesta.
