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, 2016. 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 March 31, 2017, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal variations. Three of our partnerships are considered variable interest entities (VIEs) as the general partner maintains control over the decisions that most significantly impact the partnerships. This includes the operating partnership, Host L.P., which is consolidated by Host Inc., of which Host Inc. is the general partner and holds 99% of the limited partner interests. Host Inc.’s sole significant asset is its investment in Host L.P. and, consequently, substantially all of Host Inc.’s assets and liabilities consist 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. Our consolidated partnership that owns the Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental, of which we are the general partner and hold 85% of the partnership interests, is a VIE. The total assets of this VIE are $60 million and consist of cash and property and equipment. Liabilities for the VIE total $3 million and consist of accounts payable and deferred revenue. The unconsolidated partnership that owns the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, of which we hold 11% of the limited partner interests, also is a VIE. The carrying amount of this investment is $(7) million and is included in advances to and investments in affiliates. The mortgage debt held by this VIE is non-recourse to us. New Accounting Standards In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard sets forth steps to determine the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects in exchange. In March, April, May and December 2016, the FASB issued ASUs Nos. 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12 and 2016-20, respectively, all related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which further clarify the application of the standard. Additionally, in February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20), which is required to be adopted concurrently with ASU No. 2014-09, as it provides further guidance on accounting for the derecognition of and partial sales of a non-financial asset. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effectiveness of ASU No. 2014-09 to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permitted early application for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new standards can be applied retrospectively or under a modified retrospective approach. Based on our assessment of this standard, it will not materially affect the amount or timing of revenue recognition for revenues from room, food and beverage, and other hotel level sales; however, it may allow for earlier gain recognition for certain sale transactions pursuant to which we have continuing involvement. Upon adoption, we expect to implement these standards using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect recognized with no restatements of prior period amounts. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842),

	Mar. 31, 2017
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Common Share (Unit)	3. Earnings Per Common Share (Unit) Basic earnings per common share (unit) is computed by dividing net income 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 per common share (unit) is computed by dividing net income 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 partnership interests to common OP units. No effect is shown for any securities that are anti-dilutive. We have 8.4 million common OP units which are convertible into 8.6 million common shares which are not included in Host Inc.’s calculation of earnings per share as their effect is not dilutive. The calculation of Host Inc. basic and diluted earnings per common share is shown below (in millions, except per share amounts): Quarter ended March 31, 2017 2016 Net income $ 161 $ 184 Less: Net income attributable to non-controlling interests (3 ) (2 ) Net income attributable to Host Inc. $ 158 $ 182 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 738.0 749.6 Assuming distribution of common shares granted under the comprehensive stock plans, less shares assumed purchased at market 0.2 0.1 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 738.2 749.7 Basic earnings per common share $ .21 $ .24 Diluted earnings per common share $ .21 $ .24 The calculation of Host L.P. basic and diluted earnings per unit is shown below (in millions, except per unit amounts): Quarter ended March 31, 2017 2016 Net income $ 161 $ 184 Less: Net income attributable to non-controlling interests (1 ) — Net income attributable to Host L.P. $ 160 $ 184 Basic weighted average units outstanding 731.0 742.9 Assuming distribution of common units to support shares granted under the comprehensive stock plans, less shares assumed purchased at market 0.2 0.1 Diluted weighted average units outstanding 731.2 743.0 Basic earnings per common unit $ .22 $ .25 Diluted earnings per common unit $ .22 $ .25 ___________

Derivatives and Hedging Foreign Investment Hedging Instruments. We have five foreign currency forward sale contracts that hedge a portion of the foreign currency exposure resulting from the eventual repatriation of our net investment in foreign operations. These derivatives are considered hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation and are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) within the equity portion of our balance sheet. The foreign currency forward sale contracts are valued based on the forward yield curve of the foreign currency to U.S. dollar forward exchange rate on the date of measurement. We also evaluate counterparty credit risk when we calculate the fair value of the derivatives. The following table summarizes our foreign currency forward sale contracts (in millions): Currently Outstanding Change in Fair Value - All Contracts Total Transaction Amount in Total Transaction Gain (Loss) Transaction Date Foreign Amount Forward Quarter ended March 31, Range Currency in Dollars Date Range 2017 2016 May 2014-January 2016 € 100 $ 118 May 2017-January 2018 $ (1 ) $ (4 ) November 2016 C$ 25 $ 19 November 2018 $ — $ (1 ) In addition to the foreign currency forward sale contracts, we have designated a portion of the foreign currency draws on our credit facility as hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Changes in fair value of the designated credit facility draws are recorded to other comprehensive income (loss). The following table summarizes the draws on our credit facility that are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations (in millions): Balance Balance Gain (Loss) Outstanding Outstanding in Quarter ended March 31, Currency US$ Foreign Currency 2017 2016 Canadian dollars (1) $ 35 C$ 46 $ — $ 2 Euros $ 82 € 77 $ (1 ) $ 4 Australian dollars $ 38 A$ 50 $ (2 ) $ — ___________ (1) We have drawn an additional $45 million on the credit facility in Canadian dollars, which has not been designated as a hedging instrument. Other Liabilities Fair Value of Other Financial Liabilities. We did not elect the fair value measurement option for any of our other financial liabilities. The fair values of secured debt and our credit facility are determined based on the expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates. 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.

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 of our other real estate investment activities (primarily office buildings and apartments) are immaterial and, with our operating segments, meet the aggregation criteria, and thus, we report one segment: hotel ownership. Our consolidated foreign operations consist of hotels in four countries as of March 31, 2017. There were no intersegment sales during the periods presented. The following table presents total revenues and property and equipment for each of the geographical areas in which we operate (in millions): Revenues Property and Equipment, net Quarter ended March 31, March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 2017 2016 United States $ 1,317 1,296 $ 10,233 $ 9,913 Australia 9 8 — 85 Brazil 5 7 65 63 Canada 10 10 70 71 Chile — 5 — — Mexico 7 7 14 13 New Zealand — 6 — — Total $ 1,348 $ 1,339 $ 10,382 $ 10,145

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Non-Controlling Interests	11. Non-controlling Interests Other Consolidated Partnerships. We consolidate four majority-owned partnerships that have third-party, non-controlling ownership interests. The third-party partnership interests are included in non-controlling interests — other consolidated partnerships on the balance sheets and totaled $40 million and $39 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. One of the partnerships has a finite life that terminates in 2095, and the associated non-controlling interests are redeemable at our option at the end of, but not prior to, the finite life. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests of consolidated partnerships is included in our determination of net income. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests of third parties was $1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and immaterial for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. 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 its carrying value based on accumulated historical cost or its 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. 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. The table below details the historical cost and redemption values for the non-controlling interests: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Common OP units outstanding (millions) 8.4 8.6 Market price per Host Inc. common share $ 18.66 $ 18.84 Shares issuable upon conversion of one common OP unit 1.021494 1.021494 Redemption value (millions) $ 161 $ 165 Historical cost (millions) 83 84 Book value (millions) (1) 161 165 ___________ (1) The book value recorded is equal to the greater of redemption value or historical cost. Net income is allocated to the non-controlling interests of Host L.P. based on their weighted average ownership interest during the period. Net income attributable to the non-controlling interests of Host L.P. was $2 million for both quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings	12. 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 currently are involved or of which we are aware and our experience in resolving similar claims in the past, we have accrued approximately $5 million as of March 31, 2017. We have estimated that, in the aggregate, our losses related to these proceedings could be as much as $17 million. We believe this range represents the maximum potential loss for all of our legal proceedings. We are not aware of any other 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new standard sets forth steps to determine the timing and amount of revenue to be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects in exchange. In March, April, May and December 2016, the FASB issued ASUs Nos. 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12 and 2016-20, respectively, all related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which further clarify the application of the standard. Additionally, in February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20), which is required to be adopted concurrently with ASU No. 2014-09, as it provides further guidance on accounting for the derecognition of and partial sales of a non-financial asset. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effectiveness of ASU No. 2014-09 to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permitted early application for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new standards can be applied retrospectively or under a modified retrospective approach. Based on our assessment of this standard, it will not materially affect the amount or timing of revenue recognition for revenues from room, food and beverage, and other hotel level sales; however, it may allow for earlier gain recognition for certain sale transactions pursuant to which we have continuing involvement. Upon adoption, we expect to implement these standards using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect recognized with no restatements of prior period amounts. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842),
