Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Ashford Trust”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on investing opportunistically in the hospitality industry with a focus predominantly on full-service upscale and upper upscale hotels in the U.S. that have revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) generally less than twice the U.S. national average, and in all methods including direct real estate, equity, and debt. Future investments will predominantly be in upper upscale hotels. We own our lodging investments and conduct our business through Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership (“Ashford Trust OP”), our operating partnership. Ashford OP General Partner LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ashford Trust, serves as the sole general partner of our operating partnership. In this report, terms such as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. and all entities included in its consolidated financial statements. Our hotel properties are primarily branded under the widely recognized upscale and upper upscale brands of Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and Intercontinental Hotel Group. As of June 30, 2019 , we owned interests in the following assets: • 121 consolidated hotel properties, including 119 directly owned and two owned through a majority-owned investment in a consolidated entity, which represent 25,579 total rooms (or 25,552 net rooms excluding those attributable to our partner); • 92 hotel condominium units at WorldQuest Resort in Orlando, Florida (“WorldQuest”); • a 24.2% ownership in Ashford Inc. common stock with a carrying value of $182,000 and a fair value of $19.0 million ; and • a 16.6% ownership in OpenKey with a carrying value of $2.7 million . For federal income tax purposes, we have elected to be treated as a REIT, which imposes limitations related to operating hotels. As of June 30, 2019 , our 121 hotel properties were leased or owned by our wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries that are treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries for federal income tax purposes (collectively, these subsidiaries are referred to as “Ashford TRS”). Ashford TRS then engages third-party or affiliated hotel management companies to operate the hotels under management contracts. Hotel operating results related to these properties are included in the consolidated statements of operations. We are advised by Ashford Hospitality Advisors LLC (“Ashford LLC”), a subsidiary of Ashford Inc., through an advisory agreement. All of the hotel properties in our portfolio are currently asset-managed by Ashford LLC. We do not have any employees. All of the services that might be provided by employees are provided to us by Ashford LLC. We do not operate any of our hotel properties directly; instead we employ hotel management companies to operate them for us under management contracts. As of June 30, 2019 , Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, together with its affiliates (“Remington Lodging”), which is beneficially wholly owned by Mr. Monty J. Bennett, our Chairman, and his father Mr. Archie Bennett, Jr., our Chairman Emeritus, managed 83 of our 121 hotel properties and WorldQuest Resort. Third-party management companies managed the remaining hotel properties. On May 31, 2019, Ashford Inc., the parent company of Ashford LLC, entered into an agreement to acquire the hotel management business of Remington Holdings, L.P. (as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated July 17, 2019, the “Combination Agreement”). Ashford Inc. also provides other products and services to us or our hotel properties through certain entities in which Ashford Inc. has an ownership interest. These products and services include, but are not limited to project management services, debt placement services, audio visual services, real estate advisory services, insurance claims services, hypoallergenic premium rooms, investment management services and mobile key technology.

Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation —The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited 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 2018 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2019. Ashford Trust OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Ashford Trust OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ashford Trust OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Ashford Trust OP. Historical seasonality patterns at some of our hotel properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . The following acquisitions and dispositions affect reporting comparability of our consolidated financial statements: Hotel Property Location Type Date SpringHill Suites Glen Allen, VA Disposition February 20, 2018 SpringHill Suites Centreville, VA Disposition May 1, 2018 Residence Inn Tampa, FL Disposition May 10, 2018 Hilton Alexandria Old Town Alexandria, VA Acquisition June 29, 2018 La Posada de Santa Fe Santa Fe, NM Acquisition October 31, 2018 Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square New York, NY Acquisition January 22, 2019 Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley Santa Cruz, CA Acquisition February 26, 2019 Use of Estimates —The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Restricted Cash —Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, and insurance, as well as excess cash flow deposits and reserves for furniture, fixtures, and equipment replacements of approximately 4% to 6% of property revenue for certain hotels, as required by certain management or mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions. Impairment of Investments in Hotel Properties —Hotel properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the hotel is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the hotel to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, which take into account current market conditions and our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the hotel. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the hotel is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the property’s net book value exceeds its estimated fair value, or fair value, less cost to sell. In evaluating impairment of hotel properties, we make many assumptions and estimates, including projected cash flows, expected holding period, and expected useful life. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including internally developed discounted cash flow models, comparable market transactions and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. Asset write-downs resulting from property damage are recorded up to the amount of the allocable property insurance deductible in the period that the property damage occurs. See note 6 . Investments in Unconsolidated Entities —Investments in entities in which we have ownership interests ranging from 16.6% to 24.2% , at June 30, 2019 , are accounted for under the equity method of accounting by recording the initial investment and our percentage of interest in the entities’ net income/loss. We review the investments in our unconsolidated entities for impairment in each reporting period pursuant to the applicable authoritative accounting guidance. An investment is impaired when its estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of our investment. Any impairment is recorded in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities. No such impairment was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Our investments in certain unconsolidated entities are considered to be variable interests in the underlying entities. Each VIE, as defined by authoritative accounting guidance, must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Because we do not have the power and financial responsibility to direct the unconsolidated entities’ activities and operations, we are not considered to be the primary beneficiary of these entities on an ongoing basis and therefore such entities should not be consolidated. In evaluating VIEs, our analysis involves considerable management judgment and assumptions. Leases —We determine if an arrangement is a lease at the commencement date. Operating leases, as lessee, are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We currently do not have any finance leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms used to calculate our right-of-use asset may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which under the elected practical expedients under ASC 842, we are not accounting for separately. For certain equipment leases, such as office equipment, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Equity-Based Compensation —Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) in the third quarter of 2018, stock/unit-based compensation for non-employees was accounted for at fair value based on the market price of the shares at period end that resulted in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee” and “management fees,” equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period. Performance stock units (“PSUs”) and Performance Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Performance LTIP”) units granted to certain executive officers were accounted for at fair value at period end based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model that resulted in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee,” equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period. Stock/unit grants to certain independent directors are recorded at fair value based on the market price of the shares at grant date, which amount is fully expensed as the grants of stock/units are fully vested on the date of grant. After the adoption of ASU 2018-07 in the third quarter of 2018, stock/unit-based compensation for non-employees is measured at the grant date and expensed ratably over the vesting period based on the original measurement as of the grant date. This results in the recording of expense, included in “advisory services fee,” “management fees” and “corporate, general and administrative” expense, equal to the ratable amount of the grant date fair value based on the requisite service period satisfied during the period. PSUs and Performance LTIP units granted to certain executive officers vest based on market conditions and are measured at the grant date fair value based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. The subsequent expense is then ratably recognized over the service period as the service is rendered regardless of when, if ever, the market conditions are satisfied. This results in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee,” equal to the ratable amount of the grant date fair value based on the requisite service period satisfied during the period. Stock/unit grants to certain independent directors are measured at the grant date based on the market price of the shares at grant date, which amount is fully expensed as the grants of stock/units are fully vested on the date of grant. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards —In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The new standard establishes a ROU model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Under the new standard, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ("ASU 2018-10") and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). The amendments in ASU 2018-10 affect only narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, including but not limited to lease residual value guarantee, rate implicit in the lease, lease term and purchase option. The amendments in ASU 2018-11 provide an optional transition method for adoption of the new standard, which allows entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842), Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors (“ASU 2018-20”). The amendments create a lessor practical expedient applicable to sales and other similar taxes incurred in connection with a lease, and simplify lessor accounting for lessor costs paid by the lessee. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. We elected the practical expedients which provide us the option to apply the new guidance at its effective date on January 1, 2019 without having to adjust the comparative prior period financial statements. The package of practical expedients also allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Additionally, we elected the practical expedients allowing us not to separate lease and non-lease components and not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) on the balance sheet across all existing asset classes. The adoption of this standard has resulted in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities primarily related to our ground lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. As of January 1, 2019, we recorded operating lease liabilities of $43.3 million as well as a corresponding operating lease ROU asset of $38.8 million , which includes, among other things, reclassified intangible assets of $9.0 million , intangible liabilities of $13.0 million and deferred rent of $485,000 . The standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows. See related disclosures in note 5 . Recently Issued Accounting Standards —In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU sets forth an “expected credit loss” impairment model to replace the current “incurred loss” method of recognizing credit losses. The standard requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for most financial assets held. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”). ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases . We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	Revenue Rooms revenue represents revenue from the occupancy of our hotel rooms and is driven by the occupancy and average daily rate charged. Rooms revenue includes revenue for guest no-shows, day use, and early/late departure fees. The contracts for room stays with customers are generally short in duration and revenues are recognized as services are provided over the course of the hotel stay. Food & Beverage (“F&B”) revenue consists of revenue from the restaurants and lounges at our hotel properties, in-room dining and mini-bars revenue, and banquet/catering revenue from group and social functions. Other F&B revenue may include revenue from audio-visual equipment/services, rental of function rooms, and other F&B related revenue. Revenue is recognized as the services or products are provided. Our hotel properties may employ third parties to provide certain services at the property, for example, audio visual services. We evaluate each of these contracts to determine if the hotel is the principal or the agent in the transaction, and record the revenue as appropriate (i.e. gross vs. net). Other hotel revenue consists of ancillary revenue at the property, including attrition and cancellation fees, resort and destination fees, spas, parking, entertainment and other guest services, as well as rental revenue; primarily consisting of leased retail outlets at our hotel properties. Attrition and cancellation fees are recognized from non-cancellable deposits when the customer provides notification of cancellation within established management policy time frames. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $1.9 million and $2.5 million of business interruption income for the St. Petersburg Hilton and Key West Crowne Plaza related to a settlement for lost profits from the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Taxes specifically collected from customers and submitted to taxing authorities are not recorded in revenue. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 on a modified retrospective basis. We elected the practical expedients which allowed us to apply the new guidance at its effective date on January 1, 2019 without adjusting the comparative prior period financial statements. The package of practical expedients also allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Additionally, we elected the practical expedients allowing us not to separate lease and non-lease components and not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) on the balance sheet across all existing asset classes. The adoption of this standard has resulted in the recognition of operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities primarily related to our ground lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. As of January 1, 2019, we recorded operating lease liabilities of $43.3 million as well as a corresponding operating lease ROU asset of $38.8 million which includes the reclassified intangible assets of $9.0 million , intangible liabilities of $13.0 million and deferred rent of $485,000 . The standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows. The majority of our leases are operating ground leases. We also have operating equipment leases, such as copier and vehicle leases, at our hotel properties. Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one year to 99 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Some leases have variable payments, however, if variable payments are contingent, they are not included in the ROU assets and liabilities. We have no finance leases as of June 30, 2019 . As of June 30, 2019 , our leased assets and liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands): June 30, 2019 Assets Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 41,114 Liabilities Operating lease liabilities $ 43,758 We incurred the following lease costs related to our operating leases (in thousands): Classification Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Operating lease cost (1) Hotel operating expenses - other $ 1,390 $ 2,221 _______________________________________ (1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 operating lease cost includes approximately $121,000 and $313,000 , respectively, of variable lease cost associated with the ground leases and $117,000 and $78,000 , respectively, of net amortization costs related to the intangible assets and liabilities that was reclassified upon adoption of ASC 842.

The impairment charges were based on methodologies discussed in note 2, which are considered Level 3 valuation techniques. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we recorded a $0 and $2.0 million impairment charge at the SpringHill Suites Centreville. The SpringHill Suites Centreville was sold on May 1, 2018. We also recorded impairment adjustments of $19,000 and $(283,000) for the three and six ended June 30, 2018 , respectively, based on changes in estimates of property damages incurred from the hurricanes. In August and September 2017, twenty-four of our hotel properties in Texas and Florida were impacted by the effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The Company holds insurance policies that provide coverage for property damage and business interruption after meeting certain deductibles at all of its hotel properties. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company recorded revenue from business interruption losses associated with lost profits from the hurricanes of $0 and $401,000 , respectively, which is included in “other” hotel revenue in our consolidated statement of operations.

The Company will not record an insurance recovery receivable for business interruption losses associated with lost profits until the amount for such recoveries is known and the amount is realizable. Assets Held For Sale At June 30, 2019 , the San Antonio Marriott was classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet based on methodologies discussed in note 2. Since the sale of the hotel property does not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results, its results of operations was not reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. Depreciation and amortization were ceased as of the date the assets were deemed held for sale.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Income (Loss) Per Share	Income (Loss) Per Share Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated using the two-class method by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the two-class method, or treasury stock method if more dilutive, and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares, whereby such exercise or conversion would result in lower income per share. The following table reconciles the amounts used in calculating basic and diluted income (loss) per share (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Income (loss) allocated to common stockholders - basic and diluted: Income (loss) attributable to the Company $ (16,282 ) $ (18,306 ) $ (54,299 ) $ (44,577 ) Less: Dividends on preferred stock (10,644 ) (10,644 ) (21,288 ) (21,288 ) Less: Dividends on common stock (5,865 ) (11,628 ) (17,844 ) (23,241 ) Less: Dividends on unvested performance stock units (95 ) (122 ) (285 ) (245 ) Less: Dividends on unvested restricted shares (263 ) (207 ) (544 ) (432 ) Undistributed income (loss) (33,149 ) (40,907 ) (94,260 ) (89,783 ) Add back: Dividends on common stock 5,865 11,628 17,844 23,241 Distributed and undistributed income (loss) - basic and diluted $ (27,284 ) $ (29,279 ) $ (76,416 ) $ (66,542 ) Weighted average shares outstanding: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted 99,942 96,889 99,685 96,137 Basic income (loss) per share: Net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders per share $ (0.27 ) $ (0.30 ) $ (0.77 ) $ (0.69 ) Diluted income (loss) per share: Net income (loss) allocated to common stockholders per share $ (0.27 ) $ (0.30 ) $ (0.77 ) $ (0.69 ) Due to their anti-dilutive effect, the computation of diluted income (loss) per share does not reflect adjustments for the following items (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Income (loss) allocated to common stockholders is not adjusted for: Income (loss) allocated to unvested restricted shares $ 263 $ 207 $ 544 $ 432 Income (loss) allocated to unvested performance stock units 95 122 285 245 Income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in operating partnership units (5,084 ) (5,065 ) (13,663 ) (11,405 ) Total $ (4,726 ) $ (4,736 ) $ (12,834 ) $ (10,728 ) Weighted average diluted shares are not adjusted for: Effect of unvested restricted shares 6 73 120 127 Effect of unvested performance stock units — 449 139 500 Effect of assumed conversion of operating partnership units 19,302 18,023 18,823 17,782 Effect of advisory services incentive fee shares — 320 — 301 Total 19,308 18,865 19,082 18,710

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Interest Rate Derivatives —We are exposed to risks arising from our business operations, economic conditions and financial markets. To manage these risks, we primarily use interest rate derivatives to hedge our debt and our cash flows. The interest rate derivatives currently include interest rate caps and interest rate floors. These derivatives are subject to master netting settlement arrangements. To mitigate the nonperformance risk, we routinely use a third party’s analysis of the creditworthiness of the counterparties, which supports our belief that the counterparties’ nonperformance risk is limited. All derivatives are recorded at fair value. The following table presents a summary of our interest rate derivatives entered into over the applicable periods: Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 Interest rate caps: Notional amount (in thousands) $ 624,050 $ 3,582,000 Strike rate low end of range 1.50 % 1.50 % Strike rate high end of range 4.00 % 5.22 % Effective date range January 2019 - June 2019 January 2018 - June 2018 Termination date range June 2020 - February 2022 January 2019 - July 2020 Total cost (in thousands) $ 1,048 $ 3,095 Interest rate floors: Notional amount (in thousands) $ 6,000,000 $ — Strike rate low 1.63 % — Effective date January 2019 n/a Termination date March 2020 n/a Total cost (in thousands) $ 225 $ — None of these instruments were designated as cash flow hedges. We held interest rate instruments as summarized in the table below: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Interest rate caps: Notional amount (in thousands) $ 3,986,718 (1) $ 3,953,718 (1) Strike rate low end of range 1.50 % 1.50 % Strike rate high end of range 5.71 % 5.71 % Termination date range July 2019 - February 2022 January 2019 - November 2020 Aggregate principle balance on corresponding mortgage loans (in thousands) $ 3,737,654 $ 3,521,872 Interest rate floors: (2) Notional amount (in thousands) $ 24,025,000 (1) $ 28,775,000 (1) Strike rate low end of range (0.25 )% (0.25 )% Strike rate high end of range 2.00 % 2.00 % Termination date range September 2019 - November 2021 March 2019 - November 2021 _______________ (1) These instruments were not designated as cash flow hedges. (2) Cash collateral is posted by us as well as our counterparties. We offset the fair value of the derivative and the obligation/right to return/reclaim cash collateral. Credit Default Swap Derivatives —We use credit default swaps, tied to the CMBX index, to hedge financial and capital market risk. A credit default swap is a derivative contract that functions like an insurance policy against the credit risk of an entity or obligation. The seller of protection assumes the credit risk of the reference obligation from the buyer (us) of protection in exchange for annual premium payments. If a default or a loss, as defined in the credit default swap agreements, occurs on the underlying bonds, then the buyer of protection is protected against those losses. The only liability for us, the buyer, is the annual premium and any change in value of the underlying CMBX index (if the trade is terminated prior to maturity). For all CMBX trades completed to date, we were the buyer of protection. Credit default swaps are subject to master-netting settlement arrangements and credit support annexes. As of June 30, 2019 , we held credit default swaps with notional amounts totaling $212.5 million . These credit default swaps had effective dates from February 2015 to August 2017 and expected maturity dates from October 2023 to October 2026 . Assuming the underlying bonds pay off at par over their remaining average life, our total exposure for these trades was approximately $4.3 million as of June 30, 2019 . Cash collateral is posted by us as well as our counterparties. We offset the fair value of the derivative and the obligation/right to return/reclaim cash collateral. The change in market value of credit default swaps is settled net through posting cash collateral or reclaiming cash collateral between us and our counterparties when the change in market value is over $250,000 .

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Hierarchy —For disclosure purposes, financial instruments, whether measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis or not measured at fair value, are classified in a hierarchy consisting of three levels based on the observability of valuation inputs in the market place as discussed below: • Level 1: Fair value measurements that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities. Market price data generally is obtained from exchange or dealer markets. • Level 2: Fair value measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. • Level 3: Fair value measurements based on valuation techniques that use significant inputs that are unobservable. The circumstances for using these measurements include those in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts/payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments/receipts. Fair values of interest rate caps, floors, flooridors and corridors are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fell below the strike rates of the floors or rise above the strike rates of the caps. Variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts and payments on the swaps, caps, and floors are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves (LIBOR forward curves) and volatilities (Level 2 inputs). We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments (Level 3 inputs) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. Fair values of credit default swaps are obtained from a third party who publishes various information including the index composition and price data (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of credit default swaps does not contain credit-risk-related adjustments as the change in fair value is settled net through posting cash collateral or reclaiming cash collateral between us and our counterparty. Fair values of interest rate floors are calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor. These expected future cash flows are probability-weighted projections based on the contract terms, accounting for both the magnitude and likelihood of potential payments, which are both computed using the appropriate LIBOR forward curve and market implied volatilities as of the valuation date (Level 2 inputs). Fair value of options on futures contracts is determined based on the last reported settlement price as of the measurement date (Level 1 inputs). These exchange-traded options are centrally cleared, and a clearinghouse stands in between all trades to ensure that the obligations involved in the trades are satisfied. Fair values of marketable securities and liabilities associated with marketable securities, including public equity securities, equity put and call options, and other investments, are based on their quoted market closing prices (Level 1 inputs). When a majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, when valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties, which we consider significant ( 10% or more) to the overall valuation of our derivatives, the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Transfers of inputs between levels are determined at the end of each reporting period. In determining the fair values of our derivatives at June 30, 2019 , the LIBOR interest rate forward curve (Level 2 inputs) assumed a downtrend from 2.398% to 1.440% for the remaining term of our derivatives. Credit spreads (Level 3 inputs) used in determining the fair values of hedge and non-hedge designated derivatives assumed an uptrend in nonperformance risk for us and all of our counterparties through the maturity dates. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis aggregated by the level within which measurements fall in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands): Quoted Market Prices (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Counterparty and Cash Collateral Netting (1) Total June 30, 2019: Assets Derivative assets: Interest rate derivatives - floors $ — $ 2,399 $ — $ (1,645 ) $ 754 (2) Interest rate derivatives - caps — 536 — — 536 (2) Credit default swaps — (1,271 ) — 2,516 1,245 (2) — 1,664 — 871 2,535 Non-derivative assets: Equity securities 14,263 — — — 14,263 (3) Total $ 14,263 $ 1,664 $ — $ 871 $ 16,798 Liabilities Derivative liabilities: Credit default swaps $ — $ (921 ) $ — $ 750 $ (171 ) (4) Net $ 14,263 $ 743 $ — $ 1,621 $ 16,627 December 31, 2018: Assets Derivative assets: Interest rate derivatives - floors $ — $ 255 $ — $ 208 $ 463 (2) Interest rate derivatives - caps — 601 — — 601 (2) Credit default swaps — 520 — 812 1,332 (2) — 1,376 — 1,020 2,396 Non-derivative assets: Equity securities 21,816 — — — 21,816 (3) Total $ 21,816 $ 1,376 $ — $ 1,020 $ 24,212 Liabilities Derivative liabilities: Credit default swaps $ — $ — $ — $ (50 ) $ (50 ) (4) Net $ 21,816 $ 1,376 $ — $ 970 $ 24,162 ____________________________________ (1) Represents net cash collateral posted between us and our counterparties.

Summary of Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Summary of Fair Value of Financial Instruments Determining estimated fair values of our financial instruments such as indebtedness requires considerable judgment to interpret market data. Market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies used may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts at which these instruments could be purchased, sold, or settled. Carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments, for periods indicated, were as follows (in thousands): June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value: Marketable securities $ 14,263 $ 14,263 $ 21,816 $ 21,816 Derivative assets, net 2,535 2,535 2,396 2,396 Derivative liabilities, net 171 171 50 50 Financial assets not measured at fair value: Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 237,217 $ 237,217 $ 319,210 $ 319,210 Restricted cash (1) 163,232 163,232 120,602 120,602 Accounts receivable, net (1) 65,842 65,842 37,060 37,060 Due from related party, net (1) 2,219 2,219 — — Due from third-party hotel managers 19,642 19,642 21,760 21,760 Financial liabilities not measured at fair value: Indebtedness (1) $ 4,199,785 $3,947,189 to $4,362,687 $ 3,967,530 $3,773,343 to $4,170,538 Accounts payable and accrued expenses (1) 159,690 159,690 136,757 136,757 Dividends and distributions payable 20,435 20,435 26,794 26,794 Due to Ashford Inc., net (1) 6,196 6,196 23,034 23,034 Due to related party, net — — 1,477 1,477 Due to third-party hotel managers 3,539 3,539 2,529 2,529 ____________________________________ (1) Includes balances associated with assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale as of June 30, 2019. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash . These financial assets bear interest at market rates and have original maturities of less than 90 days. The carrying value approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique. Accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses, dividends and distributions payable, due to/from related party, net, due to Ashford Inc., net and due to/from third-party hotel managers. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. This is considered a Level 1 valuation technique. Marketable securities. Marketable securities consist of U.S. treasury bills, publicly traded equity securities, and put and call options on certain publicly traded equity securities. The fair value of these investments is based on quoted market closing prices at the balance sheet date. See note 11 for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining the fair values. Derivative assets, net and derivative liabilities, net. Fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the net present value of expected cash flows of each derivative based on the market-based interest rate curve and adjusted for credit spreads of us and our counterparties. Fair values of credit default swap derivatives are obtained from a third party who publishes the CMBX index composition and price data. Fair values of interest rate floors are calculated using a third-party discounted cash flow model based on future cash flows that are expected to be received over the remaining life of the floor. Fair values of options on futures contracts are valued at their last reported settlement price as of the measurement date. See notes 10 and 11 for a complete description of the methodology and assumptions utilized in determining fair values. Indebtedness. Fair value of indebtedness is determined using future cash flows discounted at current replacement rates for these instruments. Cash flows are determined using a forward interest rate yield curve. Current replacement rates are determined by using the U.S. Treasury yield curve or the index to which these financial instruments are tied and adjusted for credit spreads. Credit spreads take into consideration general market conditions, maturity, and collateral. We estimated the fair value of total indebtedness to be approximately 94.0% to 103.9% of the carrying value of $4.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and approximately 95.1% to 105.1% of the carrying value of $4.0 billion at December 31, 2018 . This is considered a Level 2 valuation technique.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the operating partnership represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of equity in earnings/losses of the operating partnership, which is an allocation of net income/loss attributable to the common unit holders based on the weighted average ownership percentage of these limited partners’ common units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership (the “common units”) and the units issued under our Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP units”) that are vested. Each common unit may be redeemed for either cash or, at our sole discretion, up to one share of our REIT common stock, which is either: (i) issued pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) included in an effective registration statement providing for the resale of such common stock; or (iii) issued subject to a registration rights agreement. LTIP units, which are issued to certain executives and employees of Ashford LLC as compensation, have vesting periods ranging from three years to five years . Additionally, certain independent members of the board of directors have elected to receive LTIP units as part of their compensation, which are fully vested upon grant. Upon reaching economic parity with common units, each vested LTIP unit can be converted by the holder into one common unit which can then be redeemed for cash or, at our election, settled in our common stock. An LTIP unit will achieve parity with the common units upon the sale or deemed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the operating partnership at a time when our stock is trading at a level in excess of the price it was trading on the date of the LTIP issuance. More specifically, LTIP units will achieve full economic parity with common units in connection with (i) the actual sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the operating partnership or (ii) the hypothetical sale of such assets, which results from a capital account revaluation, as defined in the partnership agreement, for the operating partnership. The compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company approves the issuance of Performance LTIP units to certain executive officers and directors from time to time. The award agreements provide for the grant of a target number of Performance LTIP units that will be settled in common units of Ashford Trust OP, if and when the applicable vesting criteria have been achieved following the end of the performance and service period. The number of Performance LTIP units actually earned may range from 0% to 200% of target based on achievement of specified absolute and relative total stockholder returns based on the formulas determined by the Company’s compensation committee on the grant date. As of June 30, 2019 , there were approximately 1.9 million Performance LTIP units, representing 200% of the target number granted, outstanding. The performance criteria for the performance LTIP units are based on market conditions under the relevant literature, and the performance LTIP units were granted to non-employees. Upon the adoption of ASU 2018-07, the corresponding compensation cost is recognized ratably over the service period for the award as the service is rendered, based on the grant date fair value of the award, regardless of the actual outcome of the market condition as opposed to being accounted for at fair value based on the market price of the shares at each quarterly measurement date. As of June 30, 2019 , we have issued a total of 11.9 million LTIP and Performance LTIP units, net of Performance LTIP cancellations. All LTIP and Performance LTIP units other than approximately 769,000 units ( none of which are Performance LTIP units) have reached full economic parity with, and are convertible into, common units upon vesting. We recorded compensation expense for Performance LTIP units and LTIP units as presented in the table below (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Type Line Item 2019 2018 2019 2018 Performance LTIP units Advisory services fee $ 907 $ 3,805 $ 1,759 $ 4,213 LTIP units Advisory services fee 766 935 1,716 1,643 LTIP units - independent directors Corporate, general and administrative 446 536 446 536 $ 2,119 $ 5,276 $ 3,921 $ 6,392 The unamortized cost of the unvested Performance LTIP units, which was $4.3 million at June 30, 2019 , will be expensed over a period of 2.5 years with a weighted average period of 1.2 years. The unamortized cost of the unvested LTIP units, which was $4.2 million at June 30, 2019 , will be expensed over a period of 2.7 years with a weighted average period of 1.8 years. On February 26, 2019, we issued 1.5 million common units in our operating partnership in conjunction with the acquisition of the Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley. See note 4 . During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , there were no common units redeemed. The following table shows the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Ashford Trust (in thousands) and the corresponding approximate ownership percentage: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Redeemable noncontrolling interests $ 73,242 $ 80,743 Cumulative adjustments to redeemable noncontrolling interests (1) 144,390 146,091 Ownership percentage of operating partnership 15.88 % 14.64 % ____________________________________ (1) Reflects the excess of the redemption value over the accumulated historical costs.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Restricted Cash —Under certain management and debt agreements for our hotel properties existing at June 30, 2019 , escrow payments are required for insurance, real estate taxes, and debt service. In addition, for certain properties based on the terms of the underlying debt and management agreements, we escrow 4% to 6% of gross revenues for capital improvements. Franchise Fees —Under franchise agreements for our hotel properties existing at June 30, 2019 , we pay franchisor royalty fees between 3% and 6% of gross rooms revenue and, in some cases, 2% to 3% of food and beverage revenues. Additionally, we pay fees for marketing, reservations, and other related activities aggregating between 1% and 4% of gross rooms revenue and, in some cases, food and beverage revenues. These franchise agreements expire on varying dates between 2020 and 2047 . When a franchise term expires, the franchisor has no obligation to renew the franchise. A franchise termination could have a material adverse effect on the operations or the underlying value of the affected hotel due to loss of associated name recognition, marketing support, and centralized reservation systems provided by the franchisor. A franchise termination could also have a material adverse effect on cash available for distribution to stockholders. In addition, if we breach the franchise agreement and the franchisor terminates a franchise prior to its expiration date, we may be liable for up to three times the average annual fees incurred for that property. The below table summarizes the franchise fees incurred (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, Line Item 2019 2018 2019 2018 Other hotel expenses $ 20,954 $ 19,405 $ 38,702 $ 36,808 Management Fees —Under property management agreements for our hotel properties existing at June 30, 2019 , we pay monthly property management fee equal to the greater of approximately $14,000 (increased annually based on consumer price index adjustments) or 3% of gross revenues, or in some cases 1% to 7% of gross revenues, as well as annual incentive management fees, if applicable. These property management agreements expire from 2020 through 2039 , with renewal options. If we terminate a property management agreement prior to its expiration, we may be liable for estimated management fees through the remaining term and liquidated damages or, in certain circumstances, we may substitute a new management agreement. Income Taxes — We and our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the federal jurisdiction and various states. Tax years 2015 through 2018 remain subject to potential examination by certain federal and state taxing authorities. Potential Pension Liabilities —Upon our 2006 acquisition of a hotel property, certain employees of such hotel were unionized and covered by a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. At that time, no unfunded pension liabilities existed. Subsequent to our acquisition, a majority of employees, who are employees of the hotel manager, Remington Lodging, petitioned the employer to withdraw recognition of the union. As a result of the decertification petition, Remington Lodging withdrew recognition of the union. At the time of the withdrawal, the National Retirement Fund, the union’s pension fund, indicated unfunded pension liabilities existed. The National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) filed a complaint against Remington Lodging seeking, among other things, a ruling that Remington Lodging’s withdrawal of recognition was unlawful. The pension fund entered into a settlement agreement with Remington Lodging on November 1, 2011, providing that Remington Lodging will continue to make monthly pension fund payments pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement. As of June 30, 2019 , Remington Lodging continues to comply with the settlement agreement by making the appropriate monthly pension fund payments. If Remington Lodging does not comply with the settlement agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Remington Lodging for the payment of the unfunded pension liability, if any, as set forth in the settlement agreement equal to $1.7 million minus the monthly pension payments made by Remington Lodging since the settlement agreement. To illustrate, if Remington Lodging - as of the date a final determination occurs - has made monthly pension payments equaling $100,000 , Remington Lodging’s remaining withdrawal liability would be the unfunded pension liability of $1.7 million minus $100,000 (or $1.6 million ). This remaining unfunded pension liability would be paid to the pension fund in annual installments of $84,000 (but may be made monthly or quarterly, at Remington Lodging’s election), which shall continue for the remainder of twenty years , which is capped, unless Remington Lodging elects to pay the unfunded pension liability amount earlier. Litigation — Palm Beach Florida Hotel and Office Building Limited Partnership, et al. v. Nantucket Enterprises, Inc. This litigation involves a landlord tenant dispute from 2008 in which the landlord, Palm Beach Florida Hotel and Office Building Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of the Company, claimed that the tenant had violated various lease provisions of the lease agreement and was therefore in default. The tenant counterclaimed and asserted multiple claims including that it had been wrongfully evicted. The litigation was instituted by the plaintiff in November 2008 in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County, Florida and proceeded to a jury trial on June 30, 2014. The jury entered its verdict awarding the tenant total claims of $10.8 million and ruling against the landlord on its claim of breach of contract. In 2016, the Court of Appeals reduced the original $10.8 million judgment to $8.8 million and added pre-judgment interest on the wrongful eviction judgment. The case was further appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. On May 23, 2017, the trial court issued an order compelling the company that issued the supersedeas bond, RLI Insurance Company (“RLI”), to pay approximately $10.0 million . On June 1, 2017, RLI paid Nantucket this amount and sought reimbursement from the Company, and on June 7, 2017, the Company paid $2.5 million of the judgement. On June 27, 2017, the Florida Supreme Court denied the Company’s petition for review. As a result, all of the appeals were exhausted and the judgment was final with the determination and reimbursement of attorney’s fees being the only remaining dispute. On June 29, 2017, the balance of the judgment of $3.9 million was paid to Nantucket by the Company. On July 26, 2018, we paid $544,000 as part of a settlement on certain legal fees. The negotiations relating to the potential payment of the remaining attorney’s fees are still ongoing. As of June 30, 2019 , we have accrued approximately $504,000 in legal fees, which represents the Company’s estimate of the amount of potential remaining legal fees that could be owed. We are engaged in other various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not been fully adjudicated. The likelihood of loss from these legal proceedings, based on definitions within contingency accounting literature, ranges from remote to reasonably possible and to probable. Based on estimates of the range of potential losses associated with these matters, management does not believe the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, the final results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and if we fail to prevail in one or more of these legal matters, and the associated realized losses exceed our current estimates of the range of potential losses, our consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods.

In 2016, $4.0 million of key money consideration was invested in furniture, fixtures and equipment by Ashford LLC to be used by Ashford Trust, which represented all of the key money consideration for the Le Pavillon Hotel. Upon adoption of ASC 842, we evaluated this arrangement, which is accounted for as a lease that will expire in 2021. Under the applicable accounting guidance in ASC 842, as the related party lease is provided rent-free, there is no economic substance related to the lease which results in not recording an operating lease right-of-use asset, an operating lease liability or lease expense. Enhanced Return Funding Program On June 26, 2018, Ashford Trust entered into the Enhanced Return Funding Program Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement (the “ERFP Agreement”) with Ashford Inc. The Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement was also amended to name Ashford Inc. and its subsidiaries as the Company’s sole and exclusive provider of asset management, project management and other services offered by Ashford Inc. or any of its subsidiaries and to revise the payment terms such that the base fee and reimbursable expenses will be paid monthly. The independent members of the board of directors of each of Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust, with the assistance of separate and independent legal counsel, engaged to negotiate the ERFP Agreement on behalf of Ashford Inc. and Ashford Trust, respectively. The ERFP Agreement generally provides that Ashford LLC will make investments to facilitate the acquisition of properties by Ashford Trust OP that are recommended by Ashford LLC, in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million (subject to increase to up to $100 million by mutual agreement). The investments will equal 10% of the property acquisition price and will be made, either at the time of the property acquisition or at any time generally in the following two years, in exchange for furniture, fixture and equipment for use at the acquired property or any other property owned by Ashford Trust OP. The initial term of the ERFP Agreement is two years (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the ERFP Agreement. At the end of the Initial Term, the ERFP Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one year periods (each such period a “Renewal Term”) unless either Ashford Inc. or Ashford Trust provides written notice to the other at least sixty days in advance of the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable, that such notifying party intends not to renew the ERFP Agreement. As a result of the Hilton Alexandria Old Town and La Posada de Santa Fe acquisitions in 2018, under the ERFP Agreement we were entitled to receive $11.1 million and $5.0 million from Ashford LLC, respectively, in the form of future purchases of hotel furniture, fixtures, and equipment. As of December 31, 2018, the Company sold $16.1 million of hotel furniture, fixtures, and equipment from certain Ashford Trust hotel properties to Ashford LLC which were subsequently leased back to the Company rent free. Under the applicable accounting guidance in ASC 842, as the related party lease is provided rent free, the lease has no economic substance. As a result, the Company has not recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset, an operating lease liability or lease expense for rents. As of December 31, 2018, Ashford LLC remitted payment of $16.1 million to the Company. Under the relevant accounting guidance related to sales-leaseback transactions, the transaction was not accounted for as a sale under Topic 606. As a result the applicable hotel furniture, fixtures, and equipment were not derecognized at December 31, 2018 and the Company recorded a $16.1 million liability to Ashford LLC. Upon adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, the Company reevaluated the transaction under the applicable accounting guidance and concluded that the transaction qualified as a sale. As a result, the Company recorded a $1.8 million gain directly to accumulated deficit and, in conjunction with the sale, derecognized the assets and removed the liability to Ashford LLC. As a result of the Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley and Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square acquisitions in 2019, under the ERFP Agreement we are entitled to receive $5.0 million and $19.5 million from Ashford LLC, respectively, in the form of future purchases of hotel furniture, fixtures, and equipment. As of June 30, 2019, the Company sold $5.0 million and $8.1 million , respectively, of hotel furniture, fixtures, and equipment from certain Ashford Trust hotel properties to Ashford LLC which were subsequently leased back to the Company rent free. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company evaluated the transactions and concluded that the transactions qualified as a sale. As a result, the Company recorded a gain of $233,000 and $326,000 , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 in conjunction with the sale and derecognized the assets. Additionally, under the applicable accounting guidance in ASC 842, the Company has not recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset, an operating lease liability or lease expense for rents as the related party lease has no economic substance because the related party lease is provided rent free. As of June 30, 2019, Ashford LLC has remitted payments of $5.0 million and $8.1 million to the Company. Project Management Agreement In connection with Ashford Inc.’s August 8, 2018 acquisition of Remington Lodging’s project management business, we entered into a project management agreement with Ashford Inc.’s indirect subsidiary, Premier, pursuant to which Premier provides project management services to our hotels, including construction management, interior design, architectural services, and the purchasing, freight management, and supervision of installation of FF&E and related services. Pursuant to the project management agreement, we pay Premier: (a) project management fees of up to 4% of project costs; and (b) market service fees at current market rates with respect to construction management, interior design, FF&E purchasing, FF&E expediting/freight management, FF&E warehousing and FF&E installation and supervision. Remington Lodging On August 8, 2018, Ashford Inc. completed the acquisition of Premier. As a result of Ashford Inc.’s acquisition, the project management services are no longer provided by Remington Lodging and are now provided by a subsidiary of Ashford Inc. under the respective project management agreement with each customer, including Ashford Trust and Braemar. Remington Lodging continues to provide property management services to the Company. At June 30, 2019 , Remington Lodging managed 83 of our 121 hotel properties and the WorldQuest condominium properties included in continuing operations. We incurred the following fees related to our management agreement with Remington Lodging (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Property management fees, including incentive property management fees $ 8,619 $ 9,376 $ 15,429 $ 16,027 Market service and project management fees — 4,900 — 9,266 Corporate, general and administrative expenses 1,924 1,448 3,672 2,913 Total $ 10,543 $ 15,724 $ 19,101 $ 28,206 Certain employees of Remington Lodging, who perform work on behalf of Ashford Trust, were granted shares of restricted stock under the Ashford Trust Stock Plan. These share grants are recorded as a component of “management fees” in our consolidated statements of operations (in thousands).

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Subsequent Events On August 2, 2019, the Company sold the San Antonio Marriott for approximately $34.0 million in cash. The Company also repaid approximately $26.8 million of principal on our mortgage loan partially secured by the hotel property. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, we received non-refundable deposits related to the potential sale of two hotel properties with an aggregate sales price of approximately $38 million . We estimate that the sales of the hotel properties will close prior to September 30, 2019.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation —The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc., its majority-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned joint ventures in which it has a controlling interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in the accompanying unaudited 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 2018 Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 1, 2019. Ashford Trust OP is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to Ashford Trust OP that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs and any acquisitions, dispositions, financings, restructurings or other transactions with sellers, purchasers, lenders, brokers, agents and other applicable representatives, are subject to the approval of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ashford Trust OP General Partner LLC, its general partner. As such, we consolidate Ashford Trust OP. Historical seasonality patterns at some of our hotel properties cause fluctuations in our overall operating results. Consequently, operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . The following acquisitions and dispositions affect reporting comparability of our consolidated financial statements: Hotel Property Location Type Date SpringHill Suites Glen Allen, VA Disposition February 20, 2018 SpringHill Suites Centreville, VA Disposition May 1, 2018 Residence Inn Tampa, FL Disposition May 10, 2018 Hilton Alexandria Old Town Alexandria, VA Acquisition June 29, 2018 La Posada de Santa Fe Santa Fe, NM Acquisition October 31, 2018 Embassy Suites New York Manhattan Times Square New York, NY Acquisition January 22, 2019 Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley Santa Cruz, CA Acquisition February 26, 2019
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates —The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash —Restricted cash includes reserves for debt service, real estate taxes, and insurance, as well as excess cash flow deposits and reserves for furniture, fixtures, and equipment replacements of approximately 4% to 6% of property revenue for certain hotels, as required by certain management or mortgage debt agreement restrictions and provisions.
Impairment of Investment in Hotel Properties and Assets Held for Sale	Impairment of Investments in Hotel Properties —Hotel properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the hotel is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the hotel to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, which take into account current market conditions and our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the hotel. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the hotel is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the property’s net book value exceeds its estimated fair value, or fair value, less cost to sell. In evaluating impairment of hotel properties, we make many assumptions and estimates, including projected cash flows, expected holding period, and expected useful life. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including internally developed discounted cash flow models, comparable market transactions and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. Asset write-downs resulting from property damage are recorded up to the amount of the allocable property insurance deductible in the period that the property damage occurs. See note 6 .
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities	Investments in Unconsolidated Entities —Investments in entities in which we have ownership interests ranging from 16.6% to 24.2% , at June 30, 2019 , are accounted for under the equity method of accounting by recording the initial investment and our percentage of interest in the entities’ net income/loss. We review the investments in our unconsolidated entities for impairment in each reporting period pursuant to the applicable authoritative accounting guidance. An investment is impaired when its estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of our investment. Any impairment is recorded in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities. No such impairment was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Our investments in certain unconsolidated entities are considered to be variable interests in the underlying entities. Each VIE, as defined by authoritative accounting guidance, must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. Because we do not have the power and financial responsibility to direct the unconsolidated entities’ activities and operations, we are not considered to be the primary beneficiary of these entities on an ongoing basis and therefore such entities should not be consolidated. In evaluating VIEs, our analysis involves considerable management judgment and assumptions.
Leases	Leases —We determine if an arrangement is a lease at the commencement date. Operating leases, as lessee, are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We currently do not have any finance leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms used to calculate our right-of-use asset may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which under the elected practical expedients under ASC 842, we are not accounting for separately. For certain equipment leases, such as office equipment, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
Equity-Based Compensation	Equity-Based Compensation —Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) in the third quarter of 2018, stock/unit-based compensation for non-employees was accounted for at fair value based on the market price of the shares at period end that resulted in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee” and “management fees,” equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period. Performance stock units (“PSUs”) and Performance Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Performance LTIP”) units granted to certain executive officers were accounted for at fair value at period end based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model that resulted in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee,” equal to the fair value of the award in proportion to the requisite service period satisfied during the period. Stock/unit grants to certain independent directors are recorded at fair value based on the market price of the shares at grant date, which amount is fully expensed as the grants of stock/units are fully vested on the date of grant. After the adoption of ASU 2018-07 in the third quarter of 2018, stock/unit-based compensation for non-employees is measured at the grant date and expensed ratably over the vesting period based on the original measurement as of the grant date. This results in the recording of expense, included in “advisory services fee,” “management fees” and “corporate, general and administrative” expense, equal to the ratable amount of the grant date fair value based on the requisite service period satisfied during the period. PSUs and Performance LTIP units granted to certain executive officers vest based on market conditions and are measured at the grant date fair value based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. The subsequent expense is then ratably recognized over the service period as the service is rendered regardless of when, if ever, the market conditions are satisfied. This results in recording expense, included in “advisory services fee,” equal to the ratable amount of the grant date fair value based on the requisite service period satisfied during the period. Stock/unit grants to certain independent directors are measured at the grant date based on the market price of the shares at grant date, which amount is fully expensed as the grants of stock/units are fully vested on the date of grant.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards —In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The new standard establishes a ROU model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Under the new standard, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ("ASU 2018-10") and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). The amendments in ASU 2018-10 affect only narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, including but not limited to lease residual value guarantee, rate implicit in the lease, lease term and purchase option. The amendments in ASU 2018-11 provide an optional transition method for adoption of the new standard, which allows entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842), Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors (“ASU 2018-20”). The amendments create a lessor practical expedient applicable to sales and other similar taxes incurred in connection with a lease, and simplify lessor accounting for lessor costs paid by the lessee. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. We elected the practical expedients which provide us the option to apply the new guidance at its effective date on January 1, 2019 without having to adjust the comparative prior period financial statements. The package of practical expedients also allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Additionally, we elected the practical expedients allowing us not to separate lease and non-lease components and not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) on the balance sheet across all existing asset classes. The adoption of this standard has resulted in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities primarily related to our ground lease arrangements for which we are the lessee. As of January 1, 2019, we recorded operating lease liabilities of $43.3 million as well as a corresponding operating lease ROU asset of $38.8 million , which includes, among other things, reclassified intangible assets of $9.0 million , intangible liabilities of $13.0 million and deferred rent of $485,000 . The standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flows. See related disclosures in note 5 . Recently Issued Accounting Standards —In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU sets forth an “expected credit loss” impairment model to replace the current “incurred loss” method of recognizing credit losses. The standard requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for most financial assets held. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”). ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases . We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue	Rooms revenue represents revenue from the occupancy of our hotel rooms and is driven by the occupancy and average daily rate charged. Rooms revenue includes revenue for guest no-shows, day use, and early/late departure fees. The contracts for room stays with customers are generally short in duration and revenues are recognized as services are provided over the course of the hotel stay. Food & Beverage (“F&B”) revenue consists of revenue from the restaurants and lounges at our hotel properties, in-room dining and mini-bars revenue, and banquet/catering revenue from group and social functions. Other F&B revenue may include revenue from audio-visual equipment/services, rental of function rooms, and other F&B related revenue. Revenue is recognized as the services or products are provided. Our hotel properties may employ third parties to provide certain services at the property, for example, audio visual services. We evaluate each of these contracts to determine if the hotel is the principal or the agent in the transaction, and record the revenue as appropriate (i.e. gross vs. net). Other hotel revenue consists of ancillary revenue at the property, including attrition and cancellation fees, resort and destination fees, spas, parking, entertainment and other guest services, as well as rental revenue; primarily consisting of leased retail outlets at our hotel properties. Attrition and cancellation fees are recognized from non-cancellable deposits when the customer provides notification of cancellation within established management policy time frames. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $1.9 million and $2.5 million of business interruption income for the St. Petersburg Hilton and Key West Crowne Plaza related to a settlement for lost profits from the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Taxes specifically collected from customers and submitted to taxing authorities are not recorded in revenue. Interest income is recognized when earned.
