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, 2020, 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. The adverse economic impact continues as various restrictive measures remain in place in many jurisdictions where we own hotels, including quarantines, restrictions on travel, school closings, limitations on the size of gatherings and/or restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact almost every industry directly or indirectly, including having a severe impact on the U.S. lodging industry generally and our company specifically. At the start of the pandemic, we suspended operations at 35 hotels and, as of September 30, 2020, operations remain suspended at nine of these hotels. The ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations and future bookings have had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on our financial results and cash flows, and such negative impact may continue well after restrictive measures imposed by federal, state, local and other government authorities to contain the outbreak have been lifted. In September 2020, we drew down $746 million 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 further measures to preserve our liquidity, including operating expense reductions, capital expenditures deferrals, suspension of future dividends and suspension of 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. Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations, as of September 30, 2020, our EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio fell below the required terms of our senior notes indenture. As such, we no longer Consolidated Portfolio As of September 30, 2020, our consolidated portfolio, primarily consisting of luxury and upper upscale hotels, is located in the following countries: Hotels United States 75 Brazil 3 Canada 2 Total 80

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, 2019. 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, 2020, and the results of our operations for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and cash flows for the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 the 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 settled only with assets of Host L.P.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Shar

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 common OP 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 common OP units.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	4. Revenue Substantially all our operating results represent revenues and expenses generated by property-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. We collect sales, use, occupancy and similar taxes from our customers, which we present on a net basis (excluded from revenues) on our statements of operations. Disaggregation of Revenues. While we do not consider the following presentation of revenues by location to consist of reportable segments, we have disaggregated hotel revenues by market location. Our revenues also are presented by country in Note 10 – Geographic Information. By Location. The following table presents hotel revenues for each of the geographic locations in our consolidated hotel portfolio (in millions): Quarter ended September 30, Year-to-date ended September 30, Location 2020 2019 2020 2019 Florida Gulf Coast $ 33 $ 51 $ 160 $ 256 San Francisco/San Jose 12 127 124 392 San Diego 16 138 108 409 Phoenix 17 45 108 236 New York 9 134 102 384 Maui/Oahu 4 99 98 305 Miami 12 36 77 125 Washington, D.C.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	6. Debt Senior Notes. During the third quarter, we issued $750 million of 3.5% Series I senior notes due September 2030 for proceeds of approximately $733 million, net of discounts, underwriting fees and expenses. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing March 15, 2021. The proceeds of this issuance were used to repurchase via a tender offer $364 million (approximately 81%) of the $450 million 4.75% Series C senior notes due 2023 for $390 million, including a prepayment premium of $26 million. As of September 30, 2020, we are below the EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio covenant requirement of our senior notes indenture necessary to incur additional debt, and, therefore, we will not be able to incur additional debt until we are in compliance. Credit Facility. During the quarter, we drew approximately $746 million on the revolver portion of our credit facility, which fully utilized its available capacity at September 30, 2020. Based on our current unsecured long-term debt rating, the interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings is LIBOR plus 150 basis points and LIBOR plus 165 basis points for the revolver and term facilities, respectively. The commitment fee on the revolver is 25 basis points.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Geographic Information	10 . Geographic Information We consider each of our hotels to be an operating segment, none of which meets the threshold for a reportable segment. We also allocate resources and assess operating performance based on individual hotels. All our other real estate investment activities (primarily office buildings) are immaterial and, with our operating segments, meet the aggregation criteria. Accordingly, we report one reportable segment: hotel ownership. Our consolidated foreign operations consist of hotels in two countries as of September 30, 2020. 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, 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 United States $ 196 $ 1,239 $ 1,335 $ 4,070 $ 9,405 $ 9,570 Brazil 1 6 6 17 32 45 Canada 1 17 12 48 50 56 Total $ 198 $ 1,262 $ 1,353 $ 4,135 $ 9,487 $ 9,671

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Non-Controlling Interests	11. Non-controlling Interests Host Inc.’s treatment of the non-controlling interests of Host L.P.: Host Inc. adjusts 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 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 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. During the Covenant Relief Period, all redemptions must be made with Host Inc. common stock. The table below details the historical cost and redemption values for the non-controlling interests: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Common OP units outstanding (millions) 7.3 7.5 Market price per Host Inc. common share $ 10.79 $ 18.55 Shares issuable upon conversion of one common OP unit 1.021494 1.021494 Redemption value (millions) $ 80 $ 142 Historical cost (millions) 68 79 Book value (millions) (1) 80 142 ___________ (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 and $6 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings	1 2 . Legal Proceedings We are involved in various legal proceedings in the normal 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 minimal accruals as of September 30, 2020 related to such claims. We have estimated that, in the aggregate, our losses related to these proceedings would 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.
