Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	1. Organization Description of Business Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. operates as a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”), with its operations conducted solely through Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, operates through an umbrella partnership structure, with Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as its sole general partner. In the notes to these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the terms “we” or “our” to refer to Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. together, unless the context indicates otherwise. We also use the term “Host Inc.” specifically to refer to Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. and the term “Host L.P.” specifically to refer to Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P. in cases where it is important to distinguish between Host Inc. and Host L.P. As of September 30, 2021, Host Inc. holds approximately 99 % of Host L.P.’s partnership interests. Liquidity and Management’s Plans The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant adverse impact on U.S. and global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets beginning in the first quarter of 2020. While many of the restrictive measures put in place in jurisdictions where we own hotels have been lifted, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact the U.S. lodging industry generally and our company specifically. At the start of the pandemic, we suspended operations at 35 hotels. As of September 30, 2021 , all hotels that previously suspended operations have resumed operations and are currently open. While the U.S. economic recovery has accelerated and hotel operations have improved during each quarter of the year, the pandemic continues to have a material negative impact on our financial results and cash flows. In 2020, we drew down $ 1.5 billion on the revolver portion of our credit facility as a precautionary measure in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility. We are continuing to take measures to maintain our liquidity, including operating expense reductions and the suspension of dividends and common stock repurchases. We also have reached agreements with our hotel managers to temporarily suspend furniture, fixture and equipment (“FF&E”) replacement fund contributions for our hotels and to defer certain hotel initiatives and brand standards. Consolidated Portfolio As of September 30, 2021, our consolidated portfolio, primarily consisting of luxury and upper upscale hotels, is located in the following countries: Hotels United States 80 Brazil 3 Canada 2 Total 85

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe the disclosures made herein are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2021, and the results of our operations for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and cash flows for the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the effect of seasonal variations as well as the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Three of the partnerships in which we own an interest are considered variable interest entities (VIEs) as the general partner maintains control over the decisions that most significantly impact such partnerships. These VIEs include the operating partnership, Host L.P., which is consolidated by Host Inc., of which Host Inc. is the sole general partner and holds approximately 99 % of its partnership interests; the consolidated partnership that owns the Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental; and the unconsolidated partnership that owns the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown. Host Inc.’s sole significant asset is its investment in Host L.P. and, consequently, substantially all of Host Inc.’s assets and liabilities consists of the assets and liabilities of Host L.P. All of Host Inc.’s debt is an obligation of Host L.P. and may be repaid only with assets of Host L.P. Reclassifications Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share (Unit)	3. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share (Unit) Basic earnings (loss) per common share (unit) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (unitholders) by the weighted average number of shares of Host Inc. common stock or Host L.P. common units outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share (unit) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (unitholders), as adjusted for potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of shares of Host Inc. common stock or Host L.P. common units outstanding plus other potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive securities may include shares granted under comprehensive stock plans or the Host L.P. common units distributed to Host Inc. to support such shares granted, and other non-controlling interests that have the option to convert their limited partner interests to Host L.P. common units. No effect is shown for any securities that are anti-dilutive. We have 7.1 million Host L.P. common units, which are convertible into 7.3 million Host Inc. common shares, that are not included in Host Inc.’s calculation of earnings (loss) per share as their effect is not dilutive. The calculation of Host Inc. basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is shown below (in millions, except per share amounts): Quarter ended September 30, Year-to-date ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net loss $ ( 120 ) $ ( 316 ) $ ( 334 ) $ ( 675 ) Less: Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests 1 3 3 7 Net loss attributable to Host Inc. $ ( 119 ) $ ( 313 ) $ ( 331 ) $ ( 668 ) Basic weighted average shares outstanding 713.9 705.2 709.0 706.1 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 713.9 705.2 709.0 706.1 Basic loss per common share $ ( .17 ) $ ( .44 ) $ ( .47 ) $ ( .95 ) Diluted loss per common share $ ( .17 ) $ ( .44 ) $ ( .47 ) $ ( .95 ) The calculation of Host L.P. basic and diluted earnings (loss) per unit is shown below (in millions, except per unit amounts): Quarter ended September 30, Year-to-date ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net loss $ ( 120 ) $ ( 316 ) $ ( 334 ) $ ( 675 ) Less: Net income attributable to non-controlling interests ( 1 ) ( 1 ) ( 1 ) — Net loss attributable to Host L.P. $ ( 121 ) $ ( 317 ) $ ( 335 ) $ ( 675 ) Basic weighted average units outstanding 706.0 697.6 701.3 698.6 Diluted weighted average units outstanding 706.0 697.6 701.3 698.6 Basic loss per common unit $ ( .17 ) $ ( .45 ) $ ( .48 ) $ ( .97 ) Diluted loss per common unit $ ( .17 ) $ ( .45 ) $ ( .48 ) $ ( .97 )

Revenue

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	4. Revenue Substantially all our operating results represent revenues and expenses generated by hotel-level operations. Payments are due from customers when services are provided to them. Due to the short-term nature of our contracts and the almost concurrent receipt of payment, we have no material unearned revenue at quarter end.

As of September 30, 2021, we have met the minimum financial covenant levels under our senior notes indentures, which reinstates our ability to incur additional debt so long as we maintain these covenant levels and subject to the provisions of our credit facility and senior notes indentures. Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2021, we have $ 12 million of available capacity under the revolver portion of our credit facility. On June 26, 2020 and February 9, 2021, we entered into amendments to the existing senior unsecured bank credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, (collectively, the “Amendments”). The Amendments suspend requirements to comply with all existing financial maintenance covenants under the credit facility for the period which began on July 1, 2020 and ending on the required financial statement reporting date for the second quarter of 2022 (such period, the “Covenant Relief Period”). Subsequent to quarter end, we terminated the Covenant Relief Period prior to its expiration, as we met the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio required for our first phase-in quarterly test period.

In accordance with the restrictions in our amended credit facility, there have been no share repurchases year-to-date in 2021. Issuance of Common Stock On May 6, 2021, we entered into a distribution agreement with J. P. Morgan Securities LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as sales agents, pursuant to which we may issue and sell, from time to time, shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 600 million. The sales will be made in “at the market” offerings under the SEC rules. We may sell shares of Host Inc. common stock under this program from time to time based on market conditions, although we are not under an obligation to sell any shares. No shares were issued during the third quarter. Year-to-date, we have issued approximately 7.8 million shares under the program at an average price of $ 17.99 per share, for net proceeds of approximately $ 138 million. In connection with the common stock issuance by Host Inc., Host L.P. issued 7.6 million common OP units to Host Inc. At September 30, 2021, there was $ 460 million of remaining capacity under the agreement. Dividends/Distributions As part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in order to preserve cash and future financial flexibility, we have suspended our regular quarterly common cash dividends. Additionally, based on the terms of the credit facility amendments, we are restricted from paying a quarterly common cash dividend in excess of $ 0.01 per share during the Covenant Relief Period, unless a higher amount is required to allow Host Inc. to maintain its REIT status or to avoid the payment of corporate income or excise taxes, until after the covenant waiver period expires. Subsequent to quarter end, we terminated the Covenant Relief Period early, as we met the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio required for our first phase-in quarterly test period.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	10. Fair Value Measurements We did not elect the fair value measurement option for any of our financial liabilities. The fair value of our credit facility is determined based on expected future payments discounted at a risk-adjusted rate. Our senior notes are valued based on quoted market prices. The fair values of financial instruments not included in this table are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts. The fair value of certain financial liabilities is shown below (in millions): September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value Financial liabilities Senior notes (Level 1) $ 3,068 $ 3,273 $ 3,065 $ 3,284 Credit facility (Level 2) 2,472 2,483 2,471 2,483 We assess our property and equipment, primarily comprised of hotel properties, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, we performed recoverability assessments on all of our hotel properties. Additionally, during the third quarter, due to changes in expected hold periods, the book value for certain property and equipment exceeded its undiscounted future cash flows. Therefore, we recorded impairment expense of $ 92 million based on third party assessments of values, including broker estimates and purchase offers, which are considered observable inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2) in the GAAP fair value hierarchy. The impairment expense is included in depreciation and amortization on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the impaired property and equipment following the write-down was $ 393 million.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Geographic Information	11. Geographic Information We consider each of our hotels to be an operating segment, as we allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual hotels. All of our hotels meet the aggregation criteria for segment reporting and our other real estate investment activities (primarily our retail spaces and office buildings) are immaterial. As such, we report one segment: hotel ownership. Our consolidated foreign operations consist of hotels in two countries as of September 30, 2021. There were no intersegment sales during the periods presented. The following table presents total revenues and property and equipment, net, for each of the geographical areas in which we operate (in millions): Total Revenues Property and Equipment, net Quarter ended September 30, Year-to-date ended September 30, September 30, December 31, 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 United States $ 835 $ 196 $ 1,878 $ 1,335 $ 10,047 $ 9,331 Brazil 3 1 5 6 31 34 Canada 6 1 9 12 46 51 Total $ 844 $ 198 $ 1,892 $ 1,353 $ 10,124 $ 9,416

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Non-Controlling Interests	12. Non-controlling Interests Host Inc.’s treatment of the non-controlling interests of Host L.P.: Host Inc. adjusts the amount of the non-controlling interests of Host L.P. each period so that the amount presented equals the greater of their carrying amount based on accumulated historical cost or their redemption value. The historical cost is based on the proportional relationship between the historical cost of equity held by our common stockholders relative to that of the common unitholders of Host L.P. The redemption value is based on the amount of cash or Host Inc. common stock, at our option, that would be paid to the non-controlling interests of Host L.P. if it were terminated. Therefore, the redemption value of the common OP units is equivalent to the number of common shares that would be issued upon conversion of the common OP units held by third parties valued at the market price of Host Inc. common stock at the balance sheet date. One common OP unit may be exchanged for 1.021494 shares of Host Inc. common stock. Redeemable non-controlling interests of Host L.P. are classified in the mezzanine section of our balance sheets as they do not meet the requirements for equity classification because the redemption feature requires the delivery of registered shares. Under the Amendments, all redemptions must be made with Host Inc. common stock until we are in compliance with the leverage ratio financial test required by the credit facility. The table below details the historical cost and redemption values for the non-controlling interests: September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Common OP units outstanding (millions) 7.1 7.2 Market price per Host Inc. common share $ 16.33 $ 14.63 Shares issuable upon conversion of one common OP unit 1.021494 1.021494 Redemption value (millions) $ 119 $ 108 Historical cost (millions) 63 67 Book value (millions) ⁽¹⁾ 119 108 (1) The book value recorded is equal to the greater of redemption value or historical cost. Other Consolidated Partnerships. We consolidate two majority-owned partnerships that have third-party, non-controlling ownership interests. The third-party limited partner interests are included in non-redeemable non-controlling interests — other consolidated partnerships on the balance sheets and totaled $ 5 million as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 .

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings	13. Legal Proceedings We are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business regarding the operation of our hotels and company matters. To the extent not covered by insurance, these legal proceedings generally fall into the following broad categories: disputes involving hotel-level contracts, employment litigation, compliance with laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, tax disputes and other general matters. Under our management agreements, our operators have broad latitude to resolve individual hotel-level claims for amounts generally less than $ 150,000 . However, for matters exceeding such threshold, our operators may not settle claims without our consent. Based on our analysis of legal proceedings with which we are involved or of which we currently are aware and our experience in resolving similar claims in the past, we have recorded immaterial accruals as of September 30, 2021 related to such claims. We have estimated that, in the aggregate, our losses related to these proceedings will not be material. We are not aware of any matters with a reasonably possible unfavorable outcome for which disclosure of a loss contingency is required. No assurances can be given as to the outcome of any pending legal proceedings.
