Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On October 13, 2016, the Company adopted and approved an amendment and restatement to each of the Company’s Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Original PSU Agreement” and, as amended and restated, the “Amended PSU Agreement”) and the Company’s Performance LTIP Unit Award Agreement (the “Original LTIP Agreement” and, as amended and restated, the “Amended LTIP Agreement”). The Amended PSU Agreement replaces the Original PSU Agreement under which PSUs were granted to certain officers on June 8, 2015. The Amended PSU Agreement and the Amended LTIP Agreement modified certain provisions of the Original PSU Agreement and the Original LTIP Agreement, respectively, and do not represent a grant of new awards. Pursuant to the Amended PSU Agreement and the Amended LTIP Agreement, the PSUs will be settled in shares of common stock of the Company and the performance LTIP units will be settled in LTIP units of Ashford Prime OP, if and when the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance period, which began on January 1, 2015 and ends on December 31, 2017, unless shortened pursuant to the Amended PSU Agreement or the Amended LTIP Agreement, as applicable. In addition, the Amended PSU Agreement and the Amended LTIP Agreement, among other things, modified the definition of “Termination of Service,” and modified the vesting method in the event of a change of control of the Company or the participant’s involuntary termination, death or disability. Furthermore, the Company amended the Original PSU Agreement to clarify that the grant of PSUs will be made in connection with the participant’s service to the Company only and not to Ashford Inc. and/or their respective affiliates. Also on October 13, 2016, the board of directors of the Company approved the recommendations of the Compensation Committee of the board with respect to the grant of PSUs and LTIP units to certain executive officers pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The grant of the PSUs and the LTIP units are evidenced by the Amended PSU Agreement or the Amended LTIP Agreement entered into by the Company and each executive officer, as applicable. On November 2, 2016, the Company announced that its board of directors appointed Richard J. Stockton as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective November 14, 2016. Monty J. Bennett, the Company’s previous Chief Executive Officer, remains Chairman of the Company’s board of directors. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Stockton, on November 2, 2016, the Company and Mr. Stockton entered into a Restricted Stock Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Stockton received 239,234 shares of the Restricted Stock (as defined in the Award Agreement), which will vest in five (5) substantially equal installments on the first five (5) anniversaries of the date of the grant, subject to certain forfeiture and acceleration requirements as set forth in the Award Agreement and the Employment Agreement between Mr. Stockton and the Company’s external advisor, Ashford Inc. Also on November 2, 2016, Mr. Stockton entered into the Company’s form indemnification agreement for directors and executive officers, which provides for indemnification by the Company to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law and is in addition to protections provided in the Company’s charter and bylaws. Under the form indemnification agreement, directors and executive officers will be indemnified for certain liabilities and will be advanced certain expenses that have been incurred as a result of actions brought, or threatened to be brought, against such directors and executive officers in connection with their duties.
