Organization [Abstract]
Organization	Organization FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE:FCH), or FelCor, is a Maryland corporation, operating as a real estate investment trust, or REIT. FelCor is the sole general partner of, and the owner of a greater than 99.5% partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, through which we held ownership interests in 41 hotels as of June 30, 2016 . At June 30, 2016 , we had an aggregate of 138,836,601 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 138,225,139 shares of FelCor common stock and 611,462 FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor. Of our 41 hotels, as of June 30, 2016 , we owned 100% interests in 38 hotels, a 95% interest in one hotel (The Knickerbocker) and 50% interests in entities owning two hotels. We consolidate our real estate interests in the 39 hotels in which we hold majority interests, and we record the real estate interests of the two hotels in which we hold indirect 50% interests using the equity method. We lease 40 of the 41 hotels to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, of which we own a controlling interest. We operate one 50% ‑owned hotel without a lease. Because we own controlling interests in our operating lessees, we consolidate our interests in all 40 leased hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We own 50% of the real estate interest in one Consolidated Hotel (we account for our real estate interest in this hotel by the equity method) and majority real estate interests in our remaining 39 Consolidated Hotels (we consolidate our real estate interests in these hotels). The following table illustrates the distribution of our 40 Consolidated Hotels at June 30, 2016 : Brand Hotels Rooms Embassy Suites by Hilton ® 18 4,982 Wyndham ® and Wyndham Grand ® 8 2,528 Marriott ® and Renaissance ® 3 1,321 Holiday Inn ® 2 968 DoubleTree by Hilton ® and Hilton ® 3 802 Sheraton ® 2 673 Fairmont ® 1 383 The Knickerbocker ® 1 330 Morgans ® and Royalton ® 2 285 Total 40 12,272 At June 30, 2016 , our Consolidated Hotels were located in 15 states, with concentrations in California ( 11 hotels), Florida ( six hotels) and Massachusetts ( three hotels). Approximately 62% of our revenue was generated from hotels in these three states during the first six months of 2016 . At June 30, 2016 , of our Consolidated Hotels: (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Worldwide managed 20 hotels; (ii) subsidiaries of Wyndham Worldwide managed eight hotels; (iii) subsidiaries of Marriott International Inc. managed three hotels; (iv) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group managed two hotels; (v) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. managed two hotels; (vi) a subsidiary of Fairmont Raffles Hotels International managed one hotel; (vii) a subsidiary of Highgate Hotels managed one hotel; (viii) a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Corporation managed two hotels; and (ix) Aimbridge Hospitality managed one hotel. 1. Organization — (continued) On January 1, 2016, we adopted accounting guidance under ASU 2015-2, modifying the analysis performed to determine whether we should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, FelCor LP is a variable interest entity of FelCor. As FelCor LP is already consolidated in the balance sheets of FelCor, the identification of this entity as a variable interest entity has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of FelCor. There were no other legal entities under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption. The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is unaudited. Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which we consider necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods. Income taxes in prior periods have been reclassified from taxes, insurance and lease expense to conform to the current period presentation of a single line for income taxes on our consolidated statement of operations. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 , included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities [Abstract]
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned two hotels. We also own 50% interests in entities that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and provide condominium management services there. We account for our investments in these unconsolidated entities under the equity method. We consolidate all of our majority-owned subsidiaries in our financial statements. We make adjustments to our equity in income from unconsolidated entities related to the difference between our basis in investment in unconsolidated entities compared to the historical basis of the assets recorded by the joint ventures. The following table summarizes combined balance sheet information for our unconsolidated entities (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2016 2015 Investment in hotels and other properties, net of accumulated depreciation $ 22,311 $ 23,047 Total assets $ 30,595 $ 29,033 Debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs $ 22,314 $ 22,563 Total liabilities $ 26,023 $ 24,541 Equity $ 4,572 $ 4,492 Our unconsolidated entities’ debt at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted entirely of non-recourse mortgage debt. 2. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities — (continued) In May 2015, one of our joint ventures sold a hotel, resulting in a $7.1 million gain that we included in our equity in income from unconsolidated entities.

Impairment (Notes)

Impairment (Notes)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2016
Impairment Charges [Abstract]
Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block]	Impairment Charges Our hotels are comprised of operations and cash flows that can clearly be distinguished, operationally, and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of our operations. Accordingly, we consider our hotels to be components for purposes of determining impairment charges. We test for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate a hotel’s carrying value may not be recoverable. We conduct the test using undiscounted cash flows for the shorter of the hotel’s estimated hold period or its remaining useful life. When testing for recoverability of hotels held for investment, we use projected cash flows over its expected hold period. Those hotels held for investment that fail the impairment test are written down to their then current estimated fair value, before any selling expense, and we continue to depreciate the hotels over their remaining useful lives. In June 2016, we recorded a $6.3 million impairment charge, based on an accepted third-party offer to purchase a hotel (a Level 2 input under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements) at a price below our previously estimated fair market value for the property. We may record additional impairment charges if operating results of individual hotels are materially different from our forecasts, the economy and lodging industry weakens, or we shorten our contemplated holding period for additional hotels.

Hotel Dispositions	Hotel Dispositions During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we sold six hotels and had two hotels held for sale at June 30, 2015 . We designate a hotel as held for sale when the sale is probable within the next twelve months. Generally, we consider a sale to be probable when a buyer completes its due diligence review, we have an executed contract for sale and we have received a substantial non-refundable deposit. We included operations for the sold hotels, and the hotels designated as held for sale, in income (loss) from continuing operations as shown in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , as disposition of these hotels did not represent a strategic shift in our business. Additionally, we included selling costs, which we expense as they are incurred, in the gain (loss) on the sale of hotels. There were no hotel dispositions in 2016 prior to June 30, 2016. The following table includes condensed financial information primarily related to hotels sold in 2015 included in continuing operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 June 30, 2015 Hotel operating revenue $ 11,244 $ 29,260 Operating expenses (9,078 ) (23,620 ) Operating income 2,166 5,640 Interest expense, net (436 ) (1,031 ) Debt extinguishment (237 ) (309 ) Equity in income from unconsolidated entities 6,894 7,098 Income from continuing operations 8,387 11,398 Gain (loss) on sale of hotels, net (550 ) 16,337 Net income 7,837 27,735 Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in other partnerships 26 (5,191 ) Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP (34 ) (97 ) Net income attributable to FelCor $ 7,829 $ 22,447

We grant our executive officers restricted stock units each year, which provides them with the potential to earn shares of our common stock in three increments over three to four years . A portion of the actual number of shares that vest is determined based on total stockholder return relative to a group of ten lodging REIT peers and a portion is related to service. We amortize the fixed cost of these grants over the vesting periods. We calculate the potential dilutive impact of these awards on our earnings per share using the treasury stock method.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments We base disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . We exercise considerable judgment when interpreting market data and developing estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. Different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts. We base our estimates of the fair value of (i) cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses on their carrying values due to their relatively short maturity; (ii) our debt for which trading prices are publicly available on observable market data (a Level 2 input) (that debt had an estimated fair value of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 ); and (iii) our debt for which trading prices are not publicly available on a discounted cash flow model using effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, loan to estimated fair value of collateral and remaining maturities (a Level 3 input) (that debt had an estimated fair value of $458.6 million and $438.8 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively). The estimated fair value of all our debt was $1.5 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . The carrying value of our debt was $1.4 billion at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in FelCor LP / Redeemable Units	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in FelCor LP / Redeemable Units We record redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP, in the case of FelCor, and redeemable units, in the case of FelCor LP, in the mezzanine section (between liabilities and equity or partners’ capital) of our consolidated balance sheets because of the redemption feature of these units. Additionally, FelCor’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) separately present earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. We adjust redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP (or redeemable units) each period to reflect the greater of its carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or its redemption value. We base the historical cost on the proportionate relationship between the carrying value of equity associated with FelCor’s common stockholders relative to that of FelCor LP’s unitholders. We base redemption value on the closing price of FelCor’s common stock at period end. FelCor allocates net income (loss) to FelCor LP’s noncontrolling partners based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period. 11. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in FelCor LP / Redeemable Units — (continued) At June 30, 2016 , we carried 611,462 outstanding limited partnership units at $3.8 million . We base the value of these outstanding units on the closing price of FelCor’s common stock at June 30, 2016 ( $6.23 per share). Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests (or redeemable units) for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are shown below (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of period $ 4,464 $ 6,616 Redemption value allocation (563 ) (439 ) Distributions paid to unitholders (75 ) (47 ) Net loss (17 ) (89 ) Balance at end of period $ 3,809 $ 6,041

Equity [Abstract]
Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity/Capital	Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity/Capital Our joint venture that redeveloped The Knickerbocker raised $45 million through the sale of redeemable preferred equity under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The purchasers receive a 3.25% current annual return (which increases to 8% if we do not redeem this equity interest before the fifth anniversary of its issuance), plus a 0.25% non-compounding annual return payable at redemption. To date, the venture has received $44.4 million in gross proceeds ( $43.8 million net of issuance costs), including $600,000 and $1.8 million in gross proceeds received in the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The venture will receive the remaining $600,000 as investors’ visas are approved.

Commercial Dispute [Abstract]
Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	One of our consolidated subsidiaries was engaged in a commercial dispute with a third party. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we recorded $5.9 million in other expenses during the third quarter of 2014 to establish a provision for our estimate of our maximum exposure for this contingency. We paid the disputed amount in January 2015 but continued asserting our contractual rights. In June 2015, we settled the commercial dispute and recovered $3.7 million (net of legal costs), which we have recorded in other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Contingency [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	In April 2016, an affiliate of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, or IHG, which had formerly operated three hotels on our behalf ( two of which we sold in 2006, and one of which we converted to Wyndham operation and brand in 2013), notified us that the pension fund in which the employees at those hotels had participated is seeking an $8.3 million contribution from IHG in connection with the termination of its operation of those hotels. Under our hotel management agreements with IHG, we may be obligated to indemnify and hold IHG harmless for some or all of any amount ultimately contributed to the pension fund with respect to these hotels. Nevertheless, we believe that we are not responsible for a significant portion (and perhaps any) of the contribution sought by the pension fund and that any cost we incur with respect to this matter will be immaterial. Consequently, we will vigorously defend against the underlying claims and, where appropriate, IHG’s demand for indemnification. We are in the earliest stage of investigating the matter, which involves significant legal, actuarial and factual analysis with respect to each hotel, and have not determined whether any loss to us is probable or that any such loss is estimable.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date (for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). We are evaluating what impact (if any) ASU 2014-09 will have on our financial position or results of operations. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 - Leases (ASC 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The ASU is expected to impact our consolidated financial statements as we have certain operating lease arrangements. ASC 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 Leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance. 15. Recently Issued Accounting Standards — (continued) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions. Under the new standard, companies can withhold shares up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction as participants vest in stock and maintain equity classification of the entire award. Also under the new standard, forfeitures for stock awards may be recorded when they occur (the prior guidance required estimating forfeitures when recording stock compensation costs). Finally, the standard requires classifying cash paid when remitting cash to the tax authorities for stock compensation withholding as financing activity in the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2016. Upon adoption, we revised our policy to account for stock compensation forfeitures as they occur, which resulted in a $185,000 increase in our accumulated deficit for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. In addition, in our statement of cash flows, we will reclassify $2.1 million and $3.1 million of cash paid to taxing authorities for shares withheld from operating activities to financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
