Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | Organization LaSalle Hotel Properties (the “Company”), a Maryland real estate investment trust organized on January 15, 1998, primarily buys, owns, redevelops and leases upscale and luxury full-service hotels located in convention, resort and major urban business markets. The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is currently distributed to its shareholders. The income of LaSalle Hotel Lessee, Inc. (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, “LHL”), the Company’s wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), is subject to taxation at normal corporate rates. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company owned interests in 47 hotels with over 12,000 guest rooms located in 10 states and the District of Columbia. Each hotel is leased to LHL (see Note 8) under a participating lease that provides for rental payments equal to the greater of (i) a base rent or (ii) a participating rent based on hotel revenues. The LHL leases expire between December 2015 and December 2017 . Lease revenue from LHL is eliminated in consolidation. A third-party non-affiliated hotel operator manages each hotel pursuant to a hotel management agreement. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held directly or indirectly by, and all of its operations are conducted through, LaSalle Hotel Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 99.9% of the common units of the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2015 . The remaining 0.1% is held by limited partners who held 145,223 common units of the Operating Partnership at September 30, 2015 . See Note 6 for additional disclosures related to common units of the Operating Partnership. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial information. As such, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 due to seasonal and other factors. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, LHL and their subsidiaries in which they have a controlling interest, including joint ventures. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and expenses are generated by the operations of the individual hotels. The Company records revenues and expenses that are estimated by the hotel operators and reviewed by the Company to produce quarterly financial statements because the management contracts do not require the hotel operators to submit actual results within a time frame that permits the Company to use actual results when preparing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for filing by the deadline prescribed by the SEC. Generally, the Company records actual revenue and expense amounts for the first two months of each quarter and estimated revenue and expense amounts for the last month of each quarter. Each quarter, the Company reviews the estimated revenue and expense amounts provided by the hotel operators for reasonableness based upon historical results for prior periods and internal Company forecasts. The Company records any differences between recorded estimated amounts and actual amounts in the following quarter; historically, these differences have not been material. The Company believes the quarterly revenues and expenses, recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on an aggregate estimate, are fairly stated. Investment in Hotel Properties Upon acquisition, the Company determines the fair value of the acquired long-lived assets, assumed debt and intangible assets and liabilities. The Company’s investments in hotel properties are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30 to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for building improvements, the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related tenant lease for tenant improvements, 7 years for land improvements, 20 years for golf course land improvements, 20 years for swimming pool assets and 3 to 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. For investments subject to land and building leases that qualify as capital leases, assets are recorded at the estimated fair value of the right to use the leased property at acquisition and depreciated over the shorter of the useful lives of the assets or the term of the respective lease. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives and classification of its properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation expense to reflect each year with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income. Should the Company change the expected useful life or classification of particular assets, it would result in a change in depreciation expense and annual net income. Share-Based Compensation From time to time, the Company awards shares under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), which has approximately eight years remaining, as compensation to executives, employees and members of the Board of Trustees (see Note 7). The shares issued to executives and employees generally vest over three years. The shares issued to members of the Board of Trustees vest immediately upon issuance. The Company recognizes compensation expense for nonvested shares with service conditions or service and market conditions on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the shares on the date of issuance, adjusted for forfeitures. Compensation expense for nonvested shares with service and performance conditions is recognized based on the fair value of the estimated number of shares expected to vest, as revised throughout the vesting period, adjusted for forfeitures. The 2014 Plan replaced the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) in May 2014. Noncontrolling Interests The Company’s consolidated financial statements include entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the Company’s equity. On the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), revenues, expenses and net income or loss from less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests. Income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on their weighted average ownership percentage for the applicable period. Consolidated statements of equity include beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for shareholders’ equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity. However, the Company’s noncontrolling interests that are redeemable for cash or other assets at the option of the holder, not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company makes this determination based on terms in applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions. Additionally, with respect to noncontrolling interests for which the Company has a choice to settle the contract by delivery of its own shares, the Company evaluates whether the Company controls the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under share settlement of the contract. As of September 30, 2015 , the consolidated results of the Company include the following ownership interests held by owners other than the Company: (i) the common units in the Operating Partnership held by third parties, (ii) the outside preferred ownership interests in a subsidiary and (iii) the outside ownership interest in a joint venture. Notes Receivable Notes receivable are carried at cost, net of any premiums or discounts which are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the remaining life of the note using the effective interest method. Any costs related to notes receivable are expensed as incurred. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis consistent with the terms of the notes receivable. A note is deemed to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest contractually due. The Company considers historical payment patterns, general and industry specific economic factors and operating results in determining the probability of default. Interest previously accrued but not collected becomes part of the Company’s recorded investment in the note receivable for purposes of assessing impairment. The Company applies interest payments received on non-accrual notes receivable first to accrued interest and then as interest income. Notes receivable return to accrual status when contractually current and the collection of future payments is reasonably assured. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate the consolidation of limited partnerships, variable interests and similar entities. This standard will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial reporting. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. This standard will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will only affect the presentation of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. |

Dispositions On June 17, 2014 , the Company sold the Hilton Alexandria Old Town for $93,380 . This sale did not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s business plan or primary markets, and therefore, does not qualify as discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of zero and $43,548 related to the sale of this property, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively.

The interest rate as of September 30, 2015 was LIBOR plus 2.00% , which equaled 2.21% . The mortgage loan allows for prepayments without penalty after one year , subject to certain terms and conditions. Future scheduled debt principal payments as of September 30, 2015 are as follows: 2015 $ 1,238 2016 286,294 2017 0 2018 647,500 2019 477,500 Total debt $ 1,412,532 A summary of the Company’s interest expense and weighted average interest rates for unswapped variable rate debt for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Interest Expense: Interest incurred $ 12,735 $ 14,003 $ 39,479 $ 41,545 Amortization of deferred financing costs 703 545 1,799 1,626 Capitalized interest (188 ) (49 ) (488 ) (128 ) Interest expense $ 13,250 $ 14,499 $ 40,790 $ 43,043 Weighted Average Interest Rates for Unswapped Variable Rate Debt: Senior unsecured credit facility 1.89 % 1.86 % 1.89 % 1.86 % LHL unsecured credit facility 1.90 % 1.85 % 1.88 % 1.86 % Massport Bonds 0.05 % 0.46 % 0.06 % 0.45 % Mortgage loan (Westin Copley Place) 2.20 % N/A 2.20 % N/A Credit Facilities On January 8, 2014, the Company refinanced its $750,000 senior unsecured credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The credit facility matures on January 8, 2018 , subject to two six -month extensions that the Company may exercise at its option, pursuant to certain terms and conditions, including payment of an extension fee. The credit facility, with a current commitment of $750,000 , includes an accordion feature which, subject to certain conditions, entitles the Company to request additional lender commitments, allowing for total commitments up to $1,050,000 . Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at floating rates equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (ii) an Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus an applicable margin. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a variable unused commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.30% of the unused portion of the credit facility, depending on the average daily unused portion of the credit facility. On January 8, 2014, LHL also refinanced its $25,000 unsecured revolving credit facility to be used for working capital and general lessee corporate purposes. The LHL credit facility matures on January 8, 2018 , subject to two six -month extensions that LHL may exercise at its option, pursuant to certain terms and conditions, including payment of an extension fee. Borrowings under the LHL credit facility bear interest at floating rates equal to, at LHL’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (ii) an Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus an applicable margin. Additionally, LHL is required to pay a variable unused commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.30% of the unused portion of the credit facility, depending on the average daily unused portion of the LHL credit facility. The Company’s senior unsecured credit facility and LHL’s unsecured credit facility contain certain financial covenants relating to net worth requirements, debt ratios and fixed charge coverage and other limitations that restrict the Company’s ability to make distributions or other payments to its shareholders upon events of default. Term Loans On May 16, 2012, the Company entered into a $177,500 unsecured term loan with a seven -year term maturing on May 16, 2019 (the “First Term Loan”). The First Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate, but was hedged to a fixed interest rate through May 16, 2019 based on the Company’s current leverage ratio (as defined in the swap agreements), which interest rate was 3.62% at September 30, 2015 , for the full seven -year term (see “Derivative and Hedging Activities” below). On January 8, 2014, the Company refinanced its $300,000 unsecured term loan (the “Second Term Loan”). The Second Term Loan includes an accordion feature, which subject to certain conditions, entitles the Company to request additional lender commitments, allowing for total commitments up to $500,000 . The Second Term Loan has a five -year term maturing on January 8, 2019 and bears interest at variable rates, but was hedged to a fixed interest rate based on the Company’s current leverage ratio (as defined in the swap agreements), which interest rate was 2.38% at September 30, 2015 , through August 2, 2017 (see “Derivative and Hedging Activities” below). The Company’s term loans contain certain financial covenants relating to net worth requirements, debt ratios and fixed charge coverage and other limitations that restrict the Company’s ability to make distributions or other payments to its shareholders upon events of default. Derivative and Hedging Activities The Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Unrealized gains and losses on the effective portion of hedging instruments are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of a cash flow hedge are recognized as interest expense. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCL”) related to currently outstanding derivatives are recognized as an adjustment to income (loss) as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. Effective May 16, 2012, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $177,500 for the First Term Loan’s full seven -year term, resulting in a fixed all-in interest rate based on the Company’s current leverage ratio (as defined in the swap agreements), which interest rate was 3.62% at September 30, 2015 . Effective August 2, 2012 , the Company entered into five interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300,000 for the Second Term Loan through August 2, 2017 , resulting in a fixed all-in interest rate based on the Company’s current leverage ratio (as defined in the swap agreements), which interest rate was 2.38% at September 30, 2015 . The Company has designated its pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap derivatives as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps were entered into with the intention of eliminating the variability of the terms loans, but can also limit the exposure to any amendments, supplements, replacements or refinancings of the Company’s debt. The following tables present the effect of derivative instruments on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, including the location and amount of unrealized (loss) gain on outstanding derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 : Amount of (Loss) Gain Recognized in OCI on Derivative Instruments Location of Loss Reclassified from AOCL into Net Income Amount of Loss Reclassified from AOCL into Net Income (Effective Portion) (Effective Portion) (Effective Portion) For the three months ended For the three months ended September 30, September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships: Interest rate swaps $ (4,245 ) $ 1,551 Interest expense $ 1,071 $ 1,113 Amount of Loss Recognized in OCI on Derivative Instruments Location of Loss Reclassified from AOCL into Net Income Amount of Loss Reclassified from AOCL into Net Income (Effective Portion) (Effective Portion) (Effective Portion) For the nine months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Derivatives in cash flow hedging relationships: Interest rate swaps $ (8,617 ) $ (4,721 ) Interest expense $ 3,210 $ 3,297 During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company did not have any hedge ineffectiveness or amounts that were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness recorded in earnings. As of September 30, 2015 , there was $4,657 in cumulative unrealized loss of which $4,651 was included in AOCL and $6 was attributable to noncontrolling interests. As of December 31, 2014 , there was $750 in cumulative unrealized gain of which $748 was included in AOCL and $2 was attributable to noncontrolling interests. The Company expects that approximately $4,217 will be reclassified from AOCL and noncontrolling interests and recognized as a reduction to income in the next 12 months, calculated as estimated interest expense using the interest rates on the derivative instruments as of September 30, 2015 . Extinguishment of Debt As discussed above, on January 8, 2014, the Company refinanced its senior unsecured credit facility and Second Term Loan and LHL refinanced its unsecured revolving credit facility. The refinancing arrangements for the senior unsecured credit facility and Second Term Loan were considered substantial modifications. The Company recognized a loss from extinguishment of debt of $2,487 , which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The loss from extinguishment of debt represents a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs incurred when the original agreements were executed. Mortgage Loans The Company’s mortgage loans are secured by the respective properties. The mortgages are non-recourse to the Company except for fraud or misapplication of funds. On June 1, 2015 , the Company repaid without fee or penalty the Westin Copley Place mortgage loan in the amount of $210,000 plus accrued interest through borrowings under its senior unsecured credit facility. The loan was due to mature in September 2015 . On July 20, 2015 , the Company entered into a new $225,000 mortgage loan secured by the Westin Copley Place. The mortgage loan matures on August 14, 2018 with three options to extend the maturity date to January 5, 2021 , pursuant to certain terms and conditions. The interest-only mortgage loan bears interest at a variable rate ranging from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.00% , depending on Westin Copley Place’s net cash flow (as defined in the loan agreement). The mortgage loan allows for prepayments without penalty after one year , subject to certain terms and conditions. The mortgage loans contain debt service coverage ratio tests related to the mortgaged properties. If the debt service coverage ratio for a specific property fails to exceed a threshold level specified in the mortgage, cash flows from that hotel will automatically be directed to the lender to (i) satisfy required payments, (ii) fund certain reserves required by the mortgage and (iii) fund additional cash reserves for future required payments, including final payment. Cash flows may be directed to the lender (“cash trap”) until such time as the property again complies with the specified debt service coverage ratio or the mortgage is paid off. Financial Covenants Failure of the Company to comply with the financial covenants contained in its credit facilities, term loans and non-recourse secured mortgages could result from, among other things, changes in its results of operations, the incurrence of additional debt or changes in general economic conditions. If the Company violates the financial covenants contained in any of its credit facilities or term loans described above, the Company may attempt to negotiate waivers of the violations or amend the terms of the applicable credit facilities or term loans with the lenders thereunder; however, the Company can make no assurance that it would be successful in any such negotiations or that, if successful in obtaining waivers or amendments, such amendments or waivers would be on terms attractive to the Company. If a default under the credit facilities or term loans were to occur, the Company would possibly have to refinance the debt through additional debt financing, private or public offerings of debt securities, or additional equity financings. If the Company is unable to refinance its debt on acceptable terms, including at maturity of the credit facilities and term loans, it may be forced to dispose of hotel properties on disadvantageous terms, potentially resulting in losses that reduce cash flow from operating activities. If, at the time of any refinancing, prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates upon refinancing, increases in interest expense would lower the Company’s cash flow, and, consequently, cash available for distribution to its shareholders. A cash trap associated with a mortgage loan may limit the overall liquidity for the Company as cash from the hotel securing such mortgage would not be available for the Company to use. If the Company is unable to meet mortgage payment obligations, including the payment obligation upon maturity of the mortgage borrowing, the mortgage securing the specific property could be foreclosed upon by, or the property could be otherwise transferred to, the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset value to the Company. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company is in compliance with all debt covenants, current on all loan payments and not otherwise in default under the credit facilities, term loans, bonds payable or mortgage loans. |

Preferred Shares On July 3, 2014, the Company redeemed the remaining 2,348,888 7 ¼% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Series G Preferred Shares”) for $58,722 ( $25.00 per share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date, July 3, 2014, of $1,100 . The redemption value of the Series G Preferred Shares exceeded their carrying value by $951 , of which $9 and $951 are included in the determination of net income attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. The $951 represents the offering costs related to the redeemed Series G Preferred Shares. The following preferred shares of beneficial interest were outstanding as of September 30, 2015 : Security Type Number of 7 ½% Series H Preferred Shares 2,750,000 6 ⅜% Series I Preferred Shares 4,400,000 The 7 ½% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Series H Preferred Shares”) and the 6 ⅜% Series I Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Series I Preferred Shares”) (collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) rank senior to the common shares of beneficial interest and on parity with each other with respect to payment of distributions. The Company will not pay any distributions, or set aside any funds for the payment of distributions, on its common shares of beneficial interest unless it has also paid (or set aside for payment) the full cumulative distributions on the Preferred Shares for all past dividend periods and, with respect to the Series H Preferred Shares, for the current dividend period. The outstanding Preferred Shares do not have any maturity date, and are not subject to mandatory redemption. The difference between the carrying value and the redemption amount of the Preferred Shares are the offering costs. In addition, the Company is not required to set aside funds to redeem the Preferred Shares. The Company may not optionally redeem the Series H Preferred Shares and Series I Preferred Shares prior to January 24, 2016 and March 4, 2018, respectively, except in limited circumstances relating to the Company’s continuing qualification as a REIT or as discussed below. After those dates, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series H Preferred Shares and Series I Preferred Shares, in whole or from time to time in part, by payment of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated, accrued and unpaid distributions to and including the date of redemption. In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the Company’s charter), the result of which the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest and the common securities of the acquiring or surviving entity are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT LLC or the NASDAQ Stock Market, or any successor exchanges, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Preferred Shares in whole or in part within 120 days after the change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid distributions to and including the date of redemption. If the Company does not exercise its right to redeem the Preferred Shares upon a change of control, the holders of Series H Preferred Shares and Series I Preferred Shares have the right to convert some or all of their shares into a number of the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest based on a defined formula subject to a cap of 4,680,500 common shares and 8,835,200 common shares, respectively. Preferred Dividends The Company paid the following dividends on preferred shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 : Dividend per For the Security Type Share (1) Quarter Ended Record Date Payable Date 7 ½% Series H $ 0.47 December 31, 2014 January 1, 2015 January 15, 2015 6 ⅜% Series I $ 0.40 December 31, 2014 January 1, 2015 January 15, 2015 7 ½% Series H $ 0.47 March 31, 2015 April 1, 2015 April 15, 2015 6 ⅜% Series I $ 0.40 March 31, 2015 April 1, 2015 April 15, 2015 7 ½% Series H $ 0.47 June 30, 2015 July 1, 2015 July 15, 2015 6 ⅜% Series I $ 0.40 June 30, 2015 July 1, 2015 July 15, 2015 (1) Amounts are rounded to the nearest whole cent for presentation purposes. Noncontrolling Interests of Common Units in Operating Partnership On May 13, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 151,077 common shares of beneficial interest in connection with the redemption of 151,077 common units of limited partnership interest held by certain limited partners of the Operating Partnership. These common shares of beneficial interest were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on the exemption under Section 4(2) based upon factual representations given by the limited partners who received the common shares of beneficial interest. As of September 30, 2015 , the Operating Partnership had 145,223 common units of limited partnership interest outstanding, representing a 0.1% partnership interest held by the limited partners. As of September 30, 2015 , approximately $4,123 of cash or the equivalent value in common shares, at the Company’s option, would be paid to the limited partners of the Operating Partnership if the partnership were terminated. The approximate value of $4,123 is based on the Company’s closing common share price of $28.39 on September 30, 2015 , which is assumed to be equal to the value provided to the limited partners upon liquidation of the Operating Partnership. Subject to certain limitations, the outstanding common units of limited partnership interest are redeemable for cash, or at the Company’s option, for a like number of common shares of beneficial interest of the Company. The following schedule presents the effects of changes in the Company’s ownership interest in the Operating Partnership on the Company’s equity: For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 2014 Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 99,927 $ 174,802 Increase in additional paid-in capital from adjustments to noncontrolling interests of common units in Operating Partnership 14 24 Change from net income attributable to common shareholders and adjustments to noncontrolling interests $ 99,941 $ 174,826 |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Equity Incentive Plan | Equity Incentive Plan The common shareholders approved the 2014 Plan at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 7, 2014, which permits the Company to issue equity-based awards to executives, employees, non-employee members of the Board of Trustees and any other persons providing services to or for the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2014 Plan provides for a maximum of 2,900,000 common shares of beneficial interest to be issued in the form of share options, share appreciation rights, restricted or unrestricted share awards, phantom shares, performance awards, incentive awards, other share-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing. In addition, the maximum number of common shares subject to awards of any combination that may be granted under the 2014 Plan during any fiscal year to any one individual is limited to 500,000 shares. The 2014 Plan terminates on February 17, 2024 . The 2014 Plan authorized, among other things: (i) the grant of share options that qualify as incentive options under the Code, (ii) the grant of share options that do not so qualify, (iii) the grant of common shares in lieu of cash for trustees’ fees, (iv) grants of common shares in lieu of cash compensation and (v) the making of loans to acquire common shares in lieu of compensation (to the extent permitted by law and applicable provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002). The exercise price of share options is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, but may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the common shares on the date of grant. Restricted share awards and options under the 2014 Plan vest over a period determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees, generally a three year period. The duration of each option is also determined by the Compensation Committee, subject to applicable laws and regulations. At September 30, 2015 , there were 2,801,294 common shares available for future grant under the 2014 Plan. Upon the approval of the 2014 Plan by the common shareholders on May 7, 2014, the 2014 Plan replaced the 2009 Plan. The Company will no longer make any grants under the 2009 Plan (although awards previously made under the 2009 Plan that are outstanding will remain in effect in accordance with the terms of that plan and the applicable award agreements). Nonvested Share Awards with Service Conditions From time to time, the Company awards shares under the 2014 Plan to executives, employees and members of the Board of Trustees. The nonvested shares issued to executives and employees generally vest over three years based on continued employment. The shares issued to the members of the Board of Trustees vest immediately upon issuance. The Company determines the grant date fair value of the nonvested shares based upon the closing stock price of its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant and number of shares per the award agreements. Compensation costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period and are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. A summary of the Company’s nonvested share awards with service conditions as of September 30, 2015 is as follows: Number of Weighted - Nonvested at January 1, 2015 256,379 $ 31.00 Granted 63,675 38.82 Vested (78,483 ) 28.60 Forfeited (12,736 ) 27.31 Nonvested at September 30, 2015 (1) 228,835 $ 33.29 (1) Amount excludes 84,401 share awards with market conditions which were earned but nonvested due to a service condition as of September 30, 2015 . As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , there were $4,732 and $5,113 , respectively, of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share awards with service conditions. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , these costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of 1.5 and 1.9 years, respectively. The total intrinsic value of shares vested (calculated as number of shares multiplied by vesting date share price) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was zero and $3,152 , respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was zero and $5,602 , respectively. Compensation costs (net of forfeitures) related to nonvested share awards with service conditions that have been included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income were $818 and $2,505 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, and $740 and $2,220 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. Nonvested Share Awards with Market or Performance Conditions On January 26, 2012, the Company’s Board of Trustees granted a target of 79,823 nonvested share awards with market conditions to executives. On January 1, 2015, the executives earned 136.3% of their 79,823 target number of shares, or 108,779 shares. Of the shares earned, 36,261 shares vested immediately on January 1, 2015, and the remaining 72,518 shares will vest in equal amounts on January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2017 based on continued employment. The executives received a cash payment of $334 on the earned shares equal to the value of all dividends paid on common shares from January 1, 2012 until the determination date, January 1, 2015. As of January 1, 2015, the executives are entitled to receive dividends as declared and paid on the earned shares and to vote the shares. On March 19, 2015, the Company’s Board of Trustees granted a target of 61,660 nonvested share awards with either market or performance conditions to executives (the “March 19, 2015 Awards”). The actual amounts of the shares awarded with respect to 30,829 of the 61,660 shares will be determined on January 1, 2018, based on the performance measurement period of January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The actual amounts of the shares awarded with respect to the remaining 30,831 of the 61,660 shares will be determined on July 1, 2018, based on the performance measurement period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2018, in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The actual amounts of the shares awarded will range from 0% to 200% of the target amounts, depending on the performance analysis stipulated in the agreements, and none of the shares are outstanding until issued in accordance with award agreements based on performance. After the actual amounts of the awards are determined (or earned) at the end of the respective performance measurement period, all of the earned shares will be issued and outstanding on those dates. The executives will receive cash payments on the earned shares equal to the value of all dividends paid on common shares from the grant date through the respective determination date. Such amounts will be paid to the awardees on or about January 1, 2018 and July 1, 2018, respectively. Thereafter, the executives will be entitled to receive dividends as declared and paid on the earned shares and to vote the shares. With respect to 30,829 shares, amortization commenced on March 19, 2015, the beginning of the requisite service period, and, with respect to 30,831 shares, amortization commenced on July 1, 2015, the beginning of the requisite service period. The terms stipulated in the March 19, 2015 Awards used to determine the total amount of the shares consist of the following three tranches: (1) a comparison of the Company’s total return to the total returns’ of seven companies in a designated peer group of the Company, (2) the Company’s actual total return as compared to a Board-established total return goal and (3) a comparison of the Company’s return on invested capital to the return on invested capital of seven companies in a designated peer group of the Company. The tranches described in (1) and (2) are nonvested share awards with market conditions. For the March 19, 2015 Awards, the grant date fair value of the awards with market conditions were estimated by the Company using historical data under the Monte Carlo valuation method provided by a third party consultant. The final values were determined during the second quarter of 2015 with an insignificant cumulative adjustment to compensation cost recorded. The third tranche is based on “return on invested capital” discussed below, which is a performance condition. The grant date fair values of the tranches with performance conditions were calculated based on the targeted awards, and the valuation is adjusted on a periodic basis. The capital market assumptions used in the valuations consisted of the following: • Factors associated with the underlying performance of the Company’s share price and shareholder returns over the term of the awards including total share return volatility and risk-free interest. • Factors associated with the relative performance of the Company’s share price and shareholder returns when compared to those companies which compose the index including beta as a means to breakdown total volatility into market-related and company specific volatilities. • The valuation has been performed in a risk-neutral framework. • Return on invested capital is a performance condition award measurement. The estimated value was calculated based on the initial face value at the date of grant. The valuation will be adjusted on a periodic basis as the estimated number of awards expected to vest is revised. The assumptions used were as follows for each performance measure: Volatility Interest Dividend Stock Fair Value of Weighting March 19, 2015 Awards (performance period starting January 1, 2015) Target amounts 24.40 % 0.99 % N/A N/A $ 29.25 33.40 % Return on invested capital N/A N/A N/A N/A $ 38.84 33.30 % Peer companies 24.40 % 0.99 % N/A 1.011 $ 40.69 33.30 % March 19, 2015 Awards (performance period starting July 1, 2015) Target amounts 24.40 % 0.99 % N/A N/A $ 31.86 33.40 % Return on invested capital N/A N/A N/A N/A $ 38.84 33.30 % Peer companies 24.40 % 0.99 % N/A 1.011 $ 41.00 33.30 % A summary of the Company’s nonvested share awards with either market or performance conditions as of September 30, 2015 is as follows: Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested at January 1, 2015 311,625 $ 33.62 Granted (1) 90,616 36.38 Vested (53,654 ) 35.99 Forfeited 0 0.00 Nonvested at September 30, 2015 348,587 $ 33.98 (1) Amount includes an additional 28,956 shares issued on January 1, 2015 from the January 26, 2012 grant, which were earned in excess of the target amount. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , there were $6,496 and $6,637 , respectively, of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested share awards with market or performance conditions. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , these costs were expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of 1.8 and 2.0 years, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , there were 308,069 and 254,415 share awards with market or performance conditions vested, respectively. Additionally, there were 84,401 and 29,276 nonvested share awards with market or performance conditions earned but nonvested due to a service condition as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. Compensation costs (net of forfeitures) related to nonvested share awards with market or performance conditions that have been included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income were $1,154 and $3,205 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, and $924 and $2,578 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. |

Depreciation of the capital lease assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for all periods presented. Depreciation expense was $46,080 and $134,622 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, and $38,715 and $115,573 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. Acquisitions In connection with the acquisition of Hotel Vitale on April 2, 2014 , the Company incurred acquisition transaction costs of zero and $1,787 that were expensed as incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively, which expenses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. On April 30, 2014 , the Company acquired a parcel of land located adjacent to the Company’s Onyx Hotel in Boston, MA. The Company incurred transaction costs of zero and $64 that were expensed as incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively, which expenses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired 100% interests in two full-service hotels, each of which is leased to LHL. The Company recorded the acquisitions at fair value using model-derived valuations, with the estimated fair value recorded to investment in hotel properties and hotel working capital assets and liabilities. In connection with the acquisitions, the Company incurred acquisition transaction costs that were expensed as incurred. The following is a summary of the acquisitions: Acquisition Hotel Name Acquisition Date Number of Location Purchase Manager For the three months ended September 30, 2015 For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 Park Central San Francisco January 23, 2015 681 San Francisco, CA $ 350,000 Highgate Hotels $ 0 $ 230 The Marker Waterfront Resort March 16, 2015 96 Key West, FL 96,250 Highgate Hotels 0 214 Total for 2015 Acquisitions $ 446,250 0 444 Mezzanine Loan (1) 55 55 Total $ 55 $ 499 (1) See “Note Receivable” below. The sources of the funding for the January 23, 2015 acquisition were cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility. The source of funding for the March 16, 2015 acquisition was borrowings under the Company’s senior unsecured credit facility. The Company has not yet finalized its determination of fair value for the 2015 acquisitions. A final determination of required fair value adjustments will be made during 2015. Total revenues and net income from the hotels acquired during 2015 of $23,645 and $3,399 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, and $60,978 and $7,841 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Dispositions On June 17, 2014 , the Company sold the Hilton Alexandria Old Town for $93,380 . This sale did not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s business plan or primary markets, and therefore, does not qualify as discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of zero and $43,548 related to the sale of this property, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , respectively. The sale of the property was recorded on the full accrual method. On September 10, 2014 , the Company sold the Hotel Viking for $77,000 . This sale did not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s business plan or primary markets, and therefore, does not qualify as discontinued operations. The Company recognized a gain of $49,657 related to the sale of this property, which is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 . The sale of the property was recorded on the full accrual method. In conjunction with the sale of Hotel Viking, the Company executed a reverse 1031 exchange with Hotel Vitale, which was purchased on April 2, 2014 . The reverse 1031 exchange has no effect on the Company’s GAAP financial reporting and does not have a material impact on the Company’s tax positions and expected tax expense. Note Receivable On July 20, 2015 , the Company provided a junior mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) secured by pledges of equity interests in the entities that own the hotel properties, Shutters on the Beach and Casa Del Mar, in Santa Monica, CA. The Company entered into the Mezzanine Loan for a total purchase price of $80,000 before closing costs. The Mezzanine Loan bears interest at a variable interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 7.75% , which rate was 7.96% as of September 30, 2015 . Interest-only payments are to be received monthly with the option of prepayment, pursuant to certain terms and conditions. The Mezzanine Loan matures on August 9, 2017 and has five one -year extension options, subject to conditions. The Mezzanine Loan is subordinate to a $235,000 first mortgage loan and a $90,000 senior mezzanine loan secured by the properties that also mature on August 9, 2017 . LHL Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived from operating revenues generated by the hotels, all of which are leased by LHL.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements In evaluating fair value, GAAP outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s own assumptions about market data (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value, which are then classified and disclosed in one of the three categories. The three levels are as follows: Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, such as interest rates, yield curves, quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by limited market activity. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques when observable inputs are not available. The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies the Company believes to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, such estimates are not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized upon disposition. Recurring Measurements For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, quantitative disclosure of their fair value is as follows: Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Using Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Description Consolidated Balance Sheet Location Derivative interest rate instruments Prepaid expenses and other assets $ 0 $ 1,520 Derivative interest rate instruments Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 4,657 $ 770 The fair value of each derivative instrument is based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows under each arrangement. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative instrument, including the period to maturity, and utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities, which are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company also incorporates credit value adjustments to appropriately reflect each parties’ nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement, which utilizes level 3 inputs such as estimates of current credit spreads. However, the Company has assessed that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value The following table represents the fair value, derived using level 2 inputs, of financial instruments presented at carrying value in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 : September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Note receivable $ 80,000 $ 80,000 $ 0 $ 0 Borrowings under credit facilities $ 380,000 $ 381,219 $ 0 $ 0 Term loans $ 477,500 $ 480,763 $ 477,500 $ 476,996 Bonds payable $ 42,500 $ 42,500 $ 42,500 $ 42,500 Mortgage loans $ 512,532 $ 516,312 $ 501,090 $ 510,250 The Company estimated the fair value of its borrowings under credit facilities, term loans, bonds payable and mortgage loans using interest rates ranging from 1.5% to 4.4% as of September 30, 2015 and from 1.6% to 4.3% as of December 31, 2014 with a weighted average effective interest rate of 2.2% and 2.9% as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The assumptions reflect the terms currently available on similar borrowings to borrowers with credit profiles similar to the Company’s. At September 30, 2015, the carrying amount of the note receivable was representative of its fair value due to the short-term nature and recent acquisition of this instrument. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the recent acquisition of these items. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Common Share | Earnings Per Common Share The limited partners’ outstanding common units in the Operating Partnership (which may be converted to common shares of beneficial interest) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there would be no effect on the amounts since the limited partners’ share of income or loss would also be added back to net income or loss. Any anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. Unvested share-based awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Accordingly, distributed and undistributed earnings attributable to unvested restricted shares (participating securities) have been excluded, as applicable, from net income or loss attributable to common shareholders used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. Net income or loss figures are presented net of noncontrolling interests in the earnings per share calculations. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows: For the three months ended For the nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Numerator: Net income attributable to common shareholders $ 44,424 $ 98,164 $ 99,927 $ 174,802 Dividends paid on unvested restricted shares (141 ) (101 ) (401 ) (304 ) Undistributed earnings attributable to unvested restricted shares 0 (153 ) 0 (201 ) Net income attributable to common shareholders excluding amounts attributable to unvested restricted shares $ 44,283 $ 97,910 $ 99,526 $ 174,297 Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares - basic 112,731,358 103,798,853 112,702,693 103,730,007 Effect of dilutive securities: Compensation-related shares 405,926 334,700 411,166 329,023 Weighted average number of common shares - diluted 113,137,284 104,133,553 113,113,859 104,059,030 Earnings per Common Share - Basic: Net income attributable to common shareholders excluding amounts attributable to unvested restricted shares $ 0.39 $ 0.94 $ 0.88 $ 1.68 Earnings per Common Share - Diluted: Net income attributable to common shareholders excluding amounts attributable to unvested restricted shares $ 0.39 $ 0.94 $ 0.88 $ 1.67 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, LHL and their subsidiaries in which they have a controlling interest, including joint ventures. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and expenses are generated by the operations of the individual hotels. The Company records revenues and expenses that are estimated by the hotel operators and reviewed by the Company to produce quarterly financial statements because the management contracts do not require the hotel operators to submit actual results within a time frame that permits the Company to use actual results when preparing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for filing by the deadline prescribed by the SEC. Generally, the Company records actual revenue and expense amounts for the first two months of each quarter and estimated revenue and expense amounts for the last month of each quarter. Each quarter, the Company reviews the estimated revenue and expense amounts provided by the hotel operators for reasonableness based upon historical results for prior periods and internal Company forecasts. The Company records any differences between recorded estimated amounts and actual amounts in the following quarter; historically, these differences have not been material. The Company believes the quarterly revenues and expenses, recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on an aggregate estimate, are fairly stated. |
Investment in Hotel Properties | Investment in Hotel Properties Upon acquisition, the Company determines the fair value of the acquired long-lived assets, assumed debt and intangible assets and liabilities. The Company’s investments in hotel properties are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 30 to 40 years for buildings, 15 years for building improvements, the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related tenant lease for tenant improvements, 7 years for land improvements, 20 years for golf course land improvements, 20 years for swimming pool assets and 3 to 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. For investments subject to land and building leases that qualify as capital leases, assets are recorded at the estimated fair value of the right to use the leased property at acquisition and depreciated over the shorter of the useful lives of the assets or the term of the respective lease. Renovations and/or replacements that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives and classification of its properties for purposes of determining the amount of depreciation expense to reflect each year with respect to those properties. These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income. Should the Company change the expected useful life or classification of particular assets, it would result in a change in depreciation expense and annual net income. |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation From time to time, the Company awards shares under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), which has approximately eight years remaining, as compensation to executives, employees and members of the Board of Trustees (see Note 7). The shares issued to executives and employees generally vest over three years. The shares issued to members of the Board of Trustees vest immediately upon issuance. The Company recognizes compensation expense for nonvested shares with service conditions or service and market conditions on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based upon the fair value of the shares on the date of issuance, adjusted for forfeitures. Compensation expense for nonvested shares with service and performance conditions is recognized based on the fair value of the estimated number of shares expected to vest, as revised throughout the vesting period, adjusted for forfeitures. The 2014 Plan replaced the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”) in May 2014. |
Noncontrolling Interests | Noncontrolling Interests The Company’s consolidated financial statements include entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the consolidated balance sheets within equity, separately from the Company’s equity. On the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), revenues, expenses and net income or loss from less-than-wholly-owned subsidiaries are reported at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests. Income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on their weighted average ownership percentage for the applicable period. Consolidated statements of equity include beginning balances, activity for the period and ending balances for shareholders’ equity, noncontrolling interests and total equity. However, the Company’s noncontrolling interests that are redeemable for cash or other assets at the option of the holder, not solely within the control of the issuer, must be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company makes this determination based on terms in applicable agreements, specifically in relation to redemption provisions. Additionally, with respect to noncontrolling interests for which the Company has a choice to settle the contract by delivery of its own shares, the Company evaluates whether the Company controls the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under share settlement of the contract. As of September 30, 2015 , the consolidated results of the Company include the following ownership interests held by owners other than the Company: (i) the common units in the Operating Partnership held by third parties, (ii) the outside preferred ownership interests in a subsidiary and (iii) the outside ownership interest in a joint venture. |
Notes Receivable | Notes Receivable Notes receivable are carried at cost, net of any premiums or discounts which are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the remaining life of the note using the effective interest method. Any costs related to notes receivable are expensed as incurred. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis consistent with the terms of the notes receivable. A note is deemed to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest contractually due. The Company considers historical payment patterns, general and industry specific economic factors and operating results in determining the probability of default. Interest previously accrued but not collected becomes part of the Company’s recorded investment in the note receivable for purposes of assessing impairment. The Company applies interest payments received on non-accrual notes receivable first to accrued interest and then as interest income. Notes receivable return to accrual status when contractually current and the collection of future payments is reasonably assured. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis , which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate the consolidation of limited partnerships, variable interests and similar entities. This standard will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial reporting. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires debt issuance costs to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. This standard will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will only affect the presentation of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. |
