Organization [Abstract]	'
Organization	'
	Organization
	DiamondRock Hospitality Company (the “Company” or “we”) is a lodging-focused real estate company that owns a portfolio of premium hotels and resorts. Our hotels are concentrated in key gateway cities and in destination resort locations and most are operated under a brand owned by one of the leading global lodging brand companies (Marriott International, Inc. (“Marriott”), Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (“Starwood”), or Hilton Worldwide (“Hilton”)). We are an owner, as opposed to an operator, of the hotels in our portfolio. As an owner, we receive all of the operating profits or losses generated by our hotels after we pay fees to the hotel managers, which are based on the revenues and profitability of the hotels.
	As of December 31, 2013, we owned 26 hotels with 11,121 rooms, located in the following markets: Atlanta, Georgia; Boston, Massachusetts (2); Burlington, Vermont; Charleston, South Carolina; Chicago, Illinois (2); Denver, Colorado (2); Fort Worth, Texas; Los Angeles, California; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New York, New York (4); Oak Brook, Illinois; Orlando, Florida; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Diego, California; San Francisco, California; Sonoma, California; Washington D.C. (2); St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Vail, Colorado. We also own a senior mortgage loan secured by a 443-room hotel located in Chicago, Illinois and have the right to acquire, upon completion in 2014, a 282-room hotel under development in New York City.
	We conduct our business through a traditional umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT, in which our hotel properties are owned by our operating partnership, DiamondRock Hospitality Limited Partnership, or subsidiaries of our operating partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the operating partnership and currently owns, either directly or indirectly, all of the limited partnership units of the operating partnership.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	Our financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. If the Company determines that it has an interest in a variable interest entity within the meaning of the FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company will consolidate the entity when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the entity.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
	Risks and Uncertainties
	The state of the overall economy can significantly impact hotel operational performance and thus, impact our financial position. Should any of our hotels experience a significant decline in operational performance, it may affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and service debt or meet other financial obligations.
	Fair Value Measurements
	In evaluating fair value, U.S. GAAP outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s own assumptions about market data (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value, which are then classified and disclosed in one of the three categories. The three levels are as follows:
	•Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
	•Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical
	or similar assets in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable
	•Level 3 - Model-derived valuations with unobservable inputs
	Property and Equipment
	Investments in hotel properties, land, land improvements, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment and identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition. Property and equipment purchased after the hotel acquisition date is recorded at cost. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations.
	Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for buildings, land improvements, and building improvements and 1 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.
	We review our investments in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss is recognized.
	We will classify a hotel as held for sale in the period that we have made the decision to dispose of the hotel, a binding agreement to purchase the property has been signed under which the buyer has committed a significant amount of nonrefundable cash and no significant financing or other contingencies exist which could cause the transaction to not be completed in a timely manner. If these criteria are met, we will record an impairment loss if the fair value less costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount of the hotel and related assets and will cease recording depreciation expense. We will classify the loss, together with the related operating results, as discontinued operations on the statements of operations and classify the assets and related liabilities as held for sale on the balance sheet.
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of our cost to acquire a business over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our goodwill is classified within other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Note Receivable
	Notes receivable are carried at cost, net of any premiums or discounts which are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the remaining life of the note using the effective interest rate method. Notes receivable are evaluated for collectability and if collectability of the original amounts due is in doubt, the value is adjusted for impairment. Our impairment analysis considers the anticipated cash receipts as well as the underlying value of the collateral. If collectability is in doubt, the note is placed in non-accrual status. No interest is recorded on such notes until the timing and amounts of cash receipts can be reasonably estimated. We record cash payments received on non-accrual notes receivable as a reduction in basis. We continually assess the current facts and circumstances to determine whether we can reasonably estimate cash flows. If we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected, then income recognition becomes possible.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, golf sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel department revenues, such as telephone, parking, gift shop sales and resort fees.
	Income Taxes
	We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the new rate is enacted.
	We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income annually to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements. In addition to paying federal and state taxes on any retained income, we may be subject to taxes on “built in gains” on sales of certain assets. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries will generally be subject to federal, state, local, and/or foreign income taxes.
	In order for the income from our hotel property investments to constitute “rents from real properties” for purposes of the gross income tests required for REIT qualification, the income we earn cannot be derived from the operation of any of our hotels. Therefore, we lease each of our hotel properties to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bloodstone TRS, Inc., our existing taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, except for the Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort, which is owned by a Virgin Islands corporation, which we have elected to be treated as a TRS.
	We had no accruals for tax uncertainties as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	Intangible Assets and Liabilities
	Intangible assets or liabilities are recorded on non-market contracts assumed as part of the acquisition of certain hotels. We review the terms of agreements assumed in conjunction with the purchase of a hotel to determine if the terms are favorable or unfavorable compared to an estimated market agreement at the acquisition date. Favorable lease assets or unfavorable contract liabilities are recorded at the acquisition date and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the agreement. We do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but we review these assets for impairment annually or at interim periods if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.
	Earnings (Loss) Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus other potentially dilutive securities such as stock grants or shares issuable in the event of conversion of operating partnership units. No adjustment is made for shares that are anti-dilutive during a period.
	Stock-based Compensation
	We account for stock-based employee compensation using the fair value based method of accounting. We record the cost of awards with service or market conditions based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	We do not have any items of comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss). If we do incur any additional items of comprehensive income (loss), such that a statement of comprehensive income would be necessary, such statement will be reported as one statement with the consolidated statement of operations.
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves for replacement of furniture and fixtures held by our hotel managers and cash held in escrow pursuant to lender requirements.
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method, which approximates the effective interest method over the remaining life of the debt, and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Hotel Working Capital
	The due from hotel managers consists of hotel level accounts receivable, periodic hotel operating distributions due to owner and prepaid and other assets held by the hotel managers on our behalf. The due to hotel managers represents liabilities incurred by the hotel on behalf of us in conjunction with the operation of our hotels which are legal obligations of the Company.
	Key Money
	Key money received in conjunction with entering into hotel management or franchise agreements or completing specific capital projects is deferred and amortized over the term of the hotel management agreement. Deferred key money is classified as deferred income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized as an offset to base management fees or franchise fees.
	Straight-Line Rental Income and Expense
	We record rental income and expense on leases that provide for minimum rental payments that increase in pre-established amounts over the remaining term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of our note receivable and cash and cash equivalents. We perform periodic evaluations of the underlying hotel property securing the note receivable. See further discussion in Note 5. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.

	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 we had accrued capital expenditures of $8.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
	During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded an impairment loss of $30.4 million related to the Oak Brook Hills Resort. We evaluated the recoverability of the hotel's carrying value given deteriorating operating forecasts. Based on our estimated undiscounted net cash flow, we concluded that the previous carrying value of the hotel was not recoverable. We estimated the fair value of the hotel using a discounted cash flow analysis and comparable sales information. In our analysis, we estimated the future net cash flows from the hotel based on historical operations and our projected future operating results.  The expected useful life and holding period was based on the age of the property and our plan for the property as well as experience with similar properties. The capitalization rate was estimated using rates from recent comparable market transactions, and the discount rate was estimated using a risk adjusted rate of return. The fair value measurement of the property is a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 2). The impairment loss includes the impairment related to the hotel's favorable ground lease asset. See Note 4 for further discussion.

	Favorable Lease Assets
	In connection with the acquisition of certain hotels, we have recognized intangible assets for favorable ground leases and tenant leases. Our favorable lease assets, net of accumulated amortization, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 consist of the following (in thousands):
		2013		2012
	Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel Ground Lease	$	18,510	$	18,726
	Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel Lease Right	9,045		9,045
	Hilton Minneapolis Ground Lease	5,835		5,910
	Oak Brook Hills Resort Ground Lease	5,058		5,489
	Lexington Hotel New York Tenant Leases	1,176		1,323
	Hilton Boston Downtown Tenant Leases	312		479
		$	39,936	$	40,972
	The favorable lease assets are recorded at the acquisition date and are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease agreement. Amortization expense was $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Amortization expense is expected to total $1.0 million annually for 2014 and 2015 and $0.9 million annually for 2016 through 2018.
	We own a favorable lease asset related to the right to acquire a leasehold interest in a parcel of land adjacent to the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel for the development of a 320 to 350 room hotel (the “lease right”). The option expires in 2016. We do not amortize the lease right but review the asset for impairment annually or at interim periods if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. An impairment loss of $0.5 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2012 due to lower comparable market rents in the City of Boston. No impairment loss was recorded in 2013.
	We evaluated the Oak Brook Hills Resort favorable ground lease asset for recoverability of the carrying value during the year ended December 31, 2012. We concluded that the fair value of the ground lease was $5.6 million, resulting in an impairment loss of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	The fair value of both the lease right and favorable ground lease asset are Level 3 measurements under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 2) and are derived from a discounted cash flow model using the favorable difference between the estimated participating rents or actual rents in accordance with the lease terms and the estimated market rents. For the lease right, the discount rate was estimated using a risk adjusted rate of return, the estimated participating rents were estimated based on a hypothetical hotel comparable to our Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, and market rents were based on comparable long-term ground leases in the City of Boston. For the Oak Brook Hills Resort favorable ground lease asset, the discount rate was estimated using a risk adjusted rate of return and market rents were based on comparable golf course leases across the United States.

	Note Receivable
	We own a senior mortgage loan secured by the 443-room Allerton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois (the "Allerton Loan"), which we acquired in 2010. On January 18, 2013, we closed on a settlement of the bankruptcy and related litigation involving the Allerton Loan. As a result of the settlement, we received a $5.0 million cash principal payment and entered into a new $66.0 million mortgage loan with a four-year term (plus a one-year extension option), bearing annual interest at a fixed rate of 5.5%. Principal payments are based on a 30-year amortization schedule, but are only due to the extent there is available cash flow from operations. Based on the settlement, we changed the classification of the Allerton Loan from non-accrual to accrual status. The settlement is considered a restructuring of the original loan. Therefore, the carrying basis of the previous note receivable remains the carrying basis of the new note receivable. The discount resulting from the difference between our carrying basis and the $66.0 million new Allerton Loan is recorded as interest income based on a level yield imputed interest rate of 12.9% over the anticipated term of the loan, which includes the one-year extension option.
	We received an additional $1.5 million principal payment on the new loan during 2013. We recorded $6.1 million of interest income on the Allerton Loan for the year ended December 31, 2013, of which $2.6 million is the amortization of the discount and the remainder is contractual interest income earned. We recorded no interest income in 2012 and 2011 due to the non-accrual status of the Allerton Loan.

	We are authorized to issue up to 400 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends when authorized by our board of directors.
	We have paid the following dividends to holders of our common stock for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:
	Payment Date	Record Date	Dividend

	January 10, 2014	31-Dec-13	$0.09
	On August 5, 2013, our board of directors voted to authorize us to purchase up to $100 million in shares of our common stock. Repurchases under this program will be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions. This authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant, and subject to regulatory considerations. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The share repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock since the program started.
	Preferred Shares
	We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Our board of directors is required to set for each class or series of preferred stock the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
	Operating Partnership Units
	Holders of operating partnership units have certain redemption rights, which enable them to cause our operating partnership to redeem their units in exchange for cash per unit equal to the market price of our common stock, at the time of redemption, or, at our option for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro-rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited partners or our stockholders. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no operating partnership units held by unaffiliated third parties.

	We are authorized to issue up to 8,000,000 shares of our common stock under our 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”), of which we have issued or committed to issue 3,480,779 shares as of December 31, 2013. In addition to these shares, additional shares of common stock could be issued in connection with the market stock unit awards and performance stock unit awards as further described below.
	Restricted Stock Awards
	Restricted stock awards issued to our officers and employees vest over a 3-year period from the date of the grant based on continued employment. We measure compensation expense for the restricted stock awards based upon the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is included in corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. A summary of our restricted stock awards from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013 is as follows:
		Number of			Weighted-

	The remaining share awards are expected to vest as follows: 270,440 during 2014, 200,440 during 2015, 104,901 during 2016, and 7,240 during 2017. As of December 31, 2013, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards was $3.4 million and the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation expense will be recorded is approximately 22 months. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 we recorded $3.4 million, $3.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. The compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes $0.7 million related to the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the departure of our former President and Chief Operating Officer on May 1, 2013.
	Market Stock Units
	We have awarded our executive officers market stock units (“MSUs”). MSUs are restricted stock units that vest three years from the date of grant. Each executive officer is granted a target number of MSUs (the “Target Award”). The actual number of shares of common stock issued to each executive officer at the vesting date is equal to the Target Award plus an additional number of shares of common stock to reflect dividends that would have been paid during the Performance Period on the Target Award multiplied by the percentage of total stockholder return over the Performance Period. The total stockholder return is based on the 30-trading day average closing price of our common stock calculated on the vesting date plus dividends paid and the 30-trading day average closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. There will be no payout of shares of our common stock if the total stockholder return percentage on the vesting date is less than 50% of the target return. The maximum payout to an executive officer under an MSU award is equal to 150% of the Target Award. The fair values of the MSU awards are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party valuation firm. The determination of the grant-date fair values of the awards included the following assumptions:
			Volatility			Risk-Free Rate		Fair Value at Grant Date
	March 2011 Award		64	%		1.2	%	$	13.43
	March 2012 Award		62	%		0.43	%	$	11.14
	A summary of our MSUs from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013 is shown in the following table. We have not issued MSU awards since 2012.
		Number of			Weighted-

	Vested	(90,620	)		9.86
	Unvested balance at December 31, 2013	174,674			$	12.01
	As of December 31, 2013, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the MSUs was $0.3 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 13 months. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 we recorded $0.8 million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to MSUs. The compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes $0.2 million related to the accelerated vesting of awards in connection with the departure of our former President and Chief Operating Officer on May 1, 2013.
	Performance Stock Units
	Beginning in 2013, we awarded our executive officers performance stock units (“PSUs”). PSUs are restricted stock units that vest three years from the date of grant. Each executive officer is granted a target number of PSUs (the “PSU Target Award”). The actual number of shares of common stock issued to each executive officer is subject to the achievement of certain levels of total stockholder return relative to the total stockholder return of a peer group of publicly-traded lodging REITs over a three-year performance period. There will be no payout of shares of our common stock if our total stockholder return falls below the 30th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group. The maximum number of shares of common stock issued to an executive officer is equal to 150% of the PSU Target Award and is earned if our total stockholder return is equal to or greater than the 75th percentile of the total stockholder returns of the peer group.
	The fair values of the PSU awards are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation performed by a third-party valuation firm. The determination of the grant-date fair values of the awards included the following assumptions:
			Volatility			Risk-Free Rate		Fair Value at Grant Date
	March 2013 Award		39.2	%		0.36	%	$	9.55
	May 2013 Award		37.9	%		0.4	%	$	10.41
	The simulations also considered the share performance of the Company and the peer group. A summary of our PSUs from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 is as follows:
		Number of			Weighted-
		Units			Average Grant
					Date Fair

	Unvested balance at December 31, 2013	223,176			$	9.66
	As of December 31, 2013, the unrecognized compensation cost related to the PSUs was $1.5 million and is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a period of 26 months. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded approximately $0.6 million of compensation expense related to the PSUs.

	Mortgage Debt
	We have incurred limited recourse, property specific mortgage debt secured by certain of our hotels. In the event of default, the lender may only foreclose on the pledged assets; however, in the event of fraud, misapplication of funds or other customary recourse provisions, the lender may seek payment from us. As of December 31, 2013, 14 of our 26 hotel properties were secured by mortgage debt. Our mortgage debt contains certain property specific covenants and restrictions, including minimum debt service coverage ratios that trigger “cash trap” provisions as well as restrictions on incurring additional debt without lender consent.
	The Lexington Hotel New York mortgage loan contains a quarterly financial covenant requiring a minimum debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"), as defined in the loan agreement, of 1.1 times. As a result of the ongoing renovation of the hotel during most of 2013, the DSCR fell below the minimum requirement as of the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013. Under the loan agreement, we have the ability to cure the default by depositing the amount of the DSCR shortfall into a reserve with the lender. If we do not fund the DSCR shortfall and cure the default, the loan becomes due and payable. We funded the DSCR shortfall of $2.0 million as of September 30, 2013 during the fourth quarter of 2013 and funded an additional $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2014. The reserve will be released back to us when the DSCR is above 1.1 times, which we expect to occur in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, the cash trap provision was triggered on the loan during 2013.
	As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with the other financial covenants of our mortgage debt.
	We raised $165 million through three separate secured financings during 2013. On March 21, 2013, we closed on a $31 million loan secured by The Lodge at Sonoma, a Renaissance Resort & Spa. The loan has a 10-year term, bears interest at an annual fixed interest rate of 3.96% and amortizes on a 30-year schedule. On March 29, 2013, we closed on a $71 million loan secured by the Westin San Diego. The loan has 10-year term, bears interest at an annual fixed interest rate of 3.94% and amortizes on a 30-year schedule. On October 24, 2013, we entered into a new $63 million mortgage loan secured by the Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown. The new loan has a term of seven years and bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.25%. As part of the financing, we prepaid the $27.3 million mortgage loan previously secured by the hotel through defeasance, which had a maturity date of January 2015. The cost to defease the loan was approximately $1.5 million.
	Senior Unsecured Credit Facility
	We are party to a five-year, $200 million unsecured credit facility expiring in January 2017. The maturity date of the facility may be extended for an additional year upon the payment of applicable fees and the satisfaction of certain other customary conditions. We also have the right to increase the amount of the facility up to $400 million with lender approval. Interest is paid on the periodic advances under the facility at varying rates, based upon LIBOR, plus an agreed upon additional margin amount. The applicable margin is based upon the Company’s ratio of net indebtedness to EBITDA, as follows:
	Ratio of Net Indebtedness to EBITDA		Applicable Margin
	Less than 4.00 to 1.00		1.75	%
	Greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 but less than 5.00 to 1.00		1.9	%
	Greater than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 but less than 5.50 to 1.00		2.1	%
	Greater than or equal to 5.50 to 1.00 but less than 6.00 to 1.00		2.2	%
	Greater than or equal to 6.00 to 1.00 but less than 6.50 to 1.00		2.5	%
	Greater than or equal to 6.50 to 1.00		2.75	%
	In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the facility, we are required to pay an amount equal to 0.35% of the unused portion of the facility if the unused portion of the facility is greater than 50% or 0.25% if the unused portion of the facility is less than or equal to 50%.
	The facility contains various corporate financial covenants. A summary of the most restrictive covenants is as follows:

	Minimum tangible net worth(3)	$1.857 billion		$2.282 billion
	Secured recourse indebtedness(4)	Less than 50% of Total Asset Value		39%
	_____________________________
	-1	Leverage ratio is total indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement and which includes our commitment on the Times Square development hotel, divided by total asset value, which is defined in the credit agreement as (a) total cash and cash equivalents plus (b) the value of our owned hotels based on hotel net operating income divided by a defined capitalization rate, and (c) the book value of the Allerton Loan.
-2	Fixed charge coverage ratio is Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined in the credit agreement as EBITDA less FF&E reserves, for the most recently ending 12 fiscal months, to fixed charges, which is defined in the credit agreement as interest expense, all regularly scheduled principal payments and payments on capitalized lease obligations, for the same most recently ending 12-month period.
-3	Tangible net worth, as defined in the credit agreement, is (i) total gross book value of all assets, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, less intangible assets, total indebtedness, and all other liabilities, plus (ii) 75% of net proceeds from future equity issuances.

	2012 Acquisitions
	On July 12, 2012, we acquired a portfolio of four hotels for a contractual purchase price of $495 million from affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI (the "Sellers"). The portfolio consists of the Hilton Boston Downtown, Westin Washington D.C. City Center, Westin San Diego and Hilton Burlington. We funded the acquisition with a combination of approximately $120 million in borrowings under our senior unsecured credit facility, $100 million of corporate cash, net proceeds from a secondary public offering of our common stock and the issuance of 7,211,538 shares of common stock to an affiliate of the Sellers in a private placement. We recorded the acquisition at fair value using an independent valuation analysis, with the purchase price allocation to property and equipment, hotel working capital, favorable management contract assets and the Company's common stock.
	On November 9, 2012, we acquired the Hotel Rex, a 94-room full-service boutique hotel located in the Union Square district of San Francisco, California, for a purchase price of approximately $29.5 million. We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our credit facility.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in our 2012 acquisitions (in thousands):
			Hilton Boston Downtown		Westin Washington D.C. City Center		Westin San Diego		Hilton Burlington		Hotel Rex

	We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income annually to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements. In addition to paying federal and state taxes on any retained income, we may be subject to taxes on “built in gains” on sales of certain assets. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, local and/or foreign income taxes.

	We are required to pay franchise taxes in certain jurisdictions. We recorded approximately $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million of franchise taxes during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are classified as corporate expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are paid. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realizable based on consideration of available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets are included in prepaid and other assets and deferred tax liabilities are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):
		2013			2012
	Deferred income related to key money	$	9,406		$	9,669
	Net operating loss carryforwards	28,663			28,654

	Deferred tax liabilities	(10,998		)	(11,358		)
	Deferred tax asset, net	$	28,428		$	28,049
	We believe that we will have sufficient future taxable income, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to realize existing deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets of $10.8 million are expected to be recovered against reversing existing taxable temporary differences. The remaining deferred tax assets of $28.7 million, primarily consisting of net operating loss carryforwards, are dependent upon future taxable earnings of the TRS. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in 2028, 2029 and 2033.
	The Frenchman's Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort is owned by a subsidiary that has elected to be treated as a TRS, and is subject to U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) income taxes. We were party to a tax agreement with the USVI that reduced the income tax rate to approximately 7%. This agreement expires in February 2015. If the agreement is not extended, the TRS will be subject to an income tax rate of 37.4%.

	Under our hotel management agreements, the hotel manager receives a base management fee and, if certain financial thresholds are met or exceeded, an incentive management fee. The base management fee is generally payable as a percentage of gross hotel revenues for each fiscal year. The incentive management fee is generally based on hotel operating profits, but the fee only applies to that portion of hotel operating profits above a negotiated return on our invested capital, which we refer to as the owner's priority. We refer to this excess of operating profits over the owner's priority as “available cash flow.”
	In November 2013, we terminated the management agreement with Marriott to operate the Oak Brook Hills Resort. We entered into a five-year management agreement with Destination Hotels & Resorts to operate the hotel as an independent hotel and conference facility. In connection with the termination, we paid Marriott a termination fee of approximately $0.7 million and wrote off $1.1 million of unamortized key money, which is included within other hotel expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
	The following table sets forth the base management fee, incentive management fee and FF&E reserve contribution, generally due and payable each fiscal year, for each of our properties:

-4	The contribution is reduced to 1% until operating profits exceed an owner's priority of $3.8 million.
-5	Calculated as 20% of net operating income before base management fees. There is no owner's priority.
-6	The base management fee is reduced by the amount in which operating profits do not meet the performance guarantee. The performance guarantee was $8.6 million in 2013 and base management fees were reduced to zero.
-7	The base management fee is 2.5% of gross revenues if the hotel achieves operating results in excess of 7% of our invested capital and 3% of gross revenues if the hotel achieves operating profits in excess of 8% of our invested capital.
-8	The base management fee increases to 6% beginning in fiscal year 2015 for the remainder of the agreement. Prior to 2015, the base management fee may increase to 6.0% at the beginning of the fiscal year following the achievement of operating profits equal to or above $5.0 million.
(9) The base management fee will increase to 1.5% of gross revenues beginning on July 12, 2014. Total management fees are capped at 2.5% of gross revenues.
-10	During 2013, we amended the management agreement to reduce the annual base management fee from 2.5% to 2% effective March 1, 2013.
-11	The base management fee is 2.75% of gross revenues if the hotel achieves operating profits in excess of 7% of our invested capital and 3.25% of gross revenues if the hotel achieves operating profits in excess of 8% of our invested capital.
(12) We terminated the management agreement with Marriott effective November 2013 and entered into a new management agreement with Destination Hotels & Resorts. Under the new management agreement, the base management fee was reduced from 3% to 2% and the FF&E reserve contribution requirement was eliminated.
(13) Pursuant to the loan agreement, dated March 29, 2013, beginning April 2013, the hotel is required to make a FF&E reserve contribution of 4% of gross revenues.
The following is a summary of management fees from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):
	Year Ended December 31,
	2013				2012				2011
Base management fees	$	19,324			$	18,757			$	15,817
Incentive management fees	6,222				5,550				5,226
Total management fees	$	25,546			$	24,307			$	21,043
Eight of our hotels earned incentive management fees for the year ended December 31, 2013. Five of our hotels earned incentive management fees for the year ended December 31, 2012. Three of our hotels earned incentive management fees for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Performance Termination Provisions
Our management agreements provide us with termination rights upon a manager's failure to meet certain financial performance criteria and decision not to cure the failure by making a cure payment. The Oak Brook Hills Resort, Orlando Airport Marriott, and the Hilton Garden Inn Chelsea/New York City each failed its performance test at the end of 2012. The following are the actions we have taken as a result of these performance test failures:
•	Oak Brook Hills Resort: We terminated the management agreement effective in November 2013. We entered into a 5-year management agreement with Destination Hotels & Resorts to operate the hotel as an independent hotel.
•	Hilton Garden Inn Chelsea/New York City: We amended the management agreement to reduce the base management fee to 2% of gross revenues for the remainder of the term.
•	Orlando Airport Marriott: We determined that no action would be taken.
Key Money
Our managers have contributed to us certain amounts in exchange for the right to manage or franchise hotels we have acquired and in connection with the completion of certain brand enhancing capital projects. We refer to these amounts as “key money.” Key money is classified as deferred income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized against management fees or franchise fees on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
During 2013, Marriott provided us $4.2 million of key money in connection with the rebranding of the Lexington Hotel New York as an Autograph Collection Hotel in accordance with the franchise agreement. Marriott also provided us $0.3 million in 2013 for additional renovations at Frenchman's Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort.
We amortized $2.2 million of key money during the year ended December 31, 2013, $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012, and $0.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. The amortization for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes $1.1 million of key money written off as a result of the change of hotel manager of the Oak Brook Hills Resort during 2013. This key money write-off is included within other hotel expenses on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Franchise Agreements
The following table sets forth the terms of the hotel franchise agreements for our nine franchised hotels:
		Date of Agreement		Term		Franchise Fee
Vail Marriott Mountain Resort & Spa		Jun-05		16 years		6% of gross room sales plus 3% of gross food and beverage sales

	Commitments and Contingencies
	Litigation
	We are subject to various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, regarding the operation of our hotels and company matters. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts covered by insurance will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against the Company, however, is subject to significant uncertainties.
	Ground Leases
	Five of our hotels are subject to ground lease agreements that cover all of the land underlying the respective hotel:
	•	The Bethesda Marriott Suites hotel is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2087. There are no renewal options.
	•	The Courtyard Manhattan/Fifth Avenue is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2085, inclusive of one 49-year renewal option.
	•	The Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown is subject to two ground leases: one ground lease covers the land under the hotel and the other ground lease covers the portion of the hotel that extends into the City Creek Project. The term of the ground lease covering the land under the hotel runs through 2056, inclusive of our renewal options, and the term of the ground lease covering the extension runs through 2017. We own a 21% interest in the land under the hotel.
	•	The Westin Boston Waterfront is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2099. There are no renewal options.
	•	The Hilton Minneapolis is subject to a ground lease that runs until 2091. There are no renewal options.
	In addition, the golf course that is part of the Oak Brook Hills Resort is subject to a ground lease covering approximately 110 acres. The ground lease runs through 2045 including renewal options.
	Finally, a portion of the parking garage relating to the Renaissance Worthington is subject to three ground leases that cover, contiguously with each other, approximately one-fourth of the land on which the parking garage is constructed. Each of the ground leases has a term that runs through July 2067, inclusive of the three 15-year renewal options. The remainder of the land on which the parking garage is constructed is owned by us in fee simple.
	These ground leases generally require us to make rental payments (including a percentage of gross receipts as percentage rent with respect to the Courtyard Manhattan/Fifth Avenue ground lease) and payments for all, or in the case of the ground lease covering the Salt Lake City Marriott Downtown extension, our tenant's share of, charges, costs, expenses, assessments and liabilities, including real property taxes and utilities. Furthermore, these ground leases generally require us to obtain and maintain insurance covering the subject property.
	Ground rent expense from continuing operations was $15.0 million, $14.6 million and $14.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Cash paid for ground rent from continuing operations was $8.5 million, $8.2 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

	-4	The total annual rent includes the fixed rent noted in the table plus a percentage rent equal to 5% of gross receipts for each lease year, but only to the extent that 5% of gross receipts exceeds the minimum fixed rent in such lease year. There was no such percentage rent earned during the year ended December 31, 2013.
	-5	We own a 21% interest in the land underlying the hotel and, as a result, 21% of the annual rent under the ground lease is paid to us by the hotel.
	-6	Total annual rent under the ground lease is capped at 2.5% of hotel gross revenues during the initial 30 years of the ground lease.
	-7	The ground lease payment and related property tax liability were negotiated as a single payment in lieu of taxes. The single payments increase at a rate of 5% per year through 2018. Beginning in 2019, there will no longer be a stipulated single payment and the hotel will pay only the real property tax portion of the initial single payment based on the then assessed valuation and applicable tax rate.

Hotel under Development
On January 18, 2011, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire, upon completion, a hotel property under development on West 42nd Street in Times Square, New York City. Upon completion by the third-party developer, the hotel will have 282 guest rooms. The contractual purchase price is approximately $128 million, or approximately $450,000 per guest room. The purchase and sale agreement is for a fixed-price and we are not assuming any construction risk (including not assuming the risk of construction cost overruns). We expect that the hotel will open during 2014. Upon entering into the purchase and sale agreement, we deposited $20.0 million with a third-party escrow agent. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we made $5.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of additional deposits. All deposits are interest bearing. We will forfeit our deposits if we do not close on the acquisition of the hotel upon substantial completion of construction, unless the seller fails to meet certain conditions, including substantial completion of the hotel within a specified time frame and construction of the hotel within the contractual scope.

The fair value of our note receivable is a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. We estimate the fair value of our note receivable by discounting the future cash flows related to the note at estimated market rates. The underlying collateral of the note receivable has a fair value greater than the carrying value of the note receivable. The carrying value of our other financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	Our financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. If the Company determines that it has an interest in a variable interest entity within the meaning of the FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company will consolidate the entity when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the entity.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
Risks and Uncertainties	'
	Risks and Uncertainties
	The state of the overall economy can significantly impact hotel operational performance and thus, impact our financial position. Should any of our hotels experience a significant decline in operational performance, it may affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and service debt or meet other financial obligations.
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	In evaluating fair value, U.S. GAAP outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and a reporting entity’s own assumptions about market data (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of inputs used to determine fair value, which are then classified and disclosed in one of the three categories. The three levels are as follows:
	•Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
	•Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical
	or similar assets in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable
	•Level 3 - Model-derived valuations with unobservable inputs
Property and Equipment	'
	Property and Equipment
	Investments in hotel properties, land, land improvements, building and furniture, fixtures and equipment and identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition. Property and equipment purchased after the hotel acquisition date is recorded at cost. Replacements and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Upon the sale or retirement of a fixed asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is removed from the Company’s accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of operations.
	Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 15 to 40 years for buildings, land improvements, and building improvements and 1 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the useful lives of the related assets.
	We review our investments in hotel properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the hotel properties may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that may cause a review include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the demand for lodging at the properties due to declining national or local economic conditions and/or new hotel construction in markets where the hotels are located. When such conditions exist, management performs an analysis to determine if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows from operations and the proceeds from the ultimate disposition of a hotel exceed its carrying value. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel’s estimated fair market value is recorded and an impairment loss is recognized.
	We will classify a hotel as held for sale in the period that we have made the decision to dispose of the hotel, a binding agreement to purchase the property has been signed under which the buyer has committed a significant amount of nonrefundable cash and no significant financing or other contingencies exist which could cause the transaction to not be completed in a timely manner. If these criteria are met, we will record an impairment loss if the fair value less costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount of the hotel and related assets and will cease recording depreciation expense. We will classify the loss, together with the related operating results, as discontinued operations on the statements of operations and classify the assets and related liabilities as held for sale on the balance sheet.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of our cost to acquire a business over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our goodwill is classified within other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Note Receivable	'
	Note Receivable
	Notes receivable are carried at cost, net of any premiums or discounts which are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the remaining life of the note using the effective interest rate method. Notes receivable are evaluated for collectability and if collectability of the original amounts due is in doubt, the value is adjusted for impairment. Our impairment analysis considers the anticipated cash receipts as well as the underlying value of the collateral. If collectability is in doubt, the note is placed in non-accrual status. No interest is recorded on such notes until the timing and amounts of cash receipts can be reasonably estimated. We record cash payments received on non-accrual notes receivable as a reduction in basis. We continually assess the current facts and circumstances to determine whether we can reasonably estimate cash flows. If we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected, then income recognition becomes possible.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenues from operations of the hotels are recognized when the services are provided. Revenues consist of room sales, golf sales, food and beverage sales, and other hotel department revenues, such as telephone, parking, gift shop sales and resort fees.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the new rate is enacted.
	We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income annually to our stockholders and comply with certain other requirements. In addition to paying federal and state taxes on any retained income, we may be subject to taxes on “built in gains” on sales of certain assets. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries will generally be subject to federal, state, local, and/or foreign income taxes.
	In order for the income from our hotel property investments to constitute “rents from real properties” for purposes of the gross income tests required for REIT qualification, the income we earn cannot be derived from the operation of any of our hotels. Therefore, we lease each of our hotel properties to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bloodstone TRS, Inc., our existing taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, except for the Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort, which is owned by a Virgin Islands corporation, which we have elected to be treated as a TRS.
Intangible Assets and Liabilities	'
	Intangible Assets and Liabilities
	Intangible assets or liabilities are recorded on non-market contracts assumed as part of the acquisition of certain hotels. We review the terms of agreements assumed in conjunction with the purchase of a hotel to determine if the terms are favorable or unfavorable compared to an estimated market agreement at the acquisition date. Favorable lease assets or unfavorable contract liabilities are recorded at the acquisition date and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the agreement. We do not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, but we review these assets for impairment annually or at interim periods if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	'
	Earnings (Loss) Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus other potentially dilutive securities such as stock grants or shares issuable in the event of conversion of operating partnership units. No adjustment is made for shares that are anti-dilutive during a period.
Stock-based Compensation	'
	Stock-based Compensation
	We account for stock-based employee compensation using the fair value based method of accounting. We record the cost of awards with service or market conditions based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	'
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	We do not have any items of comprehensive income (loss) other than net income (loss). If we do incur any additional items of comprehensive income (loss), such that a statement of comprehensive income would be necessary, such statement will be reported as one statement with the consolidated statement of operations.
Restricted Cash	'
	Restricted Cash
	Restricted cash primarily consists of reserves for replacement of furniture and fixtures held by our hotel managers and cash held in escrow pursuant to lender requirements.
Deferred Financing Costs	'
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Financing costs are recorded at cost and consist of loan fees and other costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. Amortization of deferred financing costs is computed using a method, which approximates the effective interest method over the remaining life of the debt, and is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Hotel Working Capital	'
	Hotel Working Capital
	The due from hotel managers consists of hotel level accounts receivable, periodic hotel operating distributions due to owner and prepaid and other assets held by the hotel managers on our behalf. The due to hotel managers represents liabilities incurred by the hotel on behalf of us in conjunction with the operation of our hotels which are legal obligations of the Company.
Key Money	'
	Key Money
	Key money received in conjunction with entering into hotel management or franchise agreements or completing specific capital projects is deferred and amortized over the term of the hotel management agreement. Deferred key money is classified as deferred income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized as an offset to base management fees or franchise fees.
Straight-Line Rental Income and Expense	'
	Straight-Line Rental Income and Expense
	We record rental income and expense on leases that provide for minimum rental payments that increase in pre-established amounts over the remaining term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
Concentration of Credit Risk	'
	Concentration of Credit Risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of our note receivable and cash and cash equivalents. We perform periodic evaluations of the underlying hotel property securing the note receivable. See further discussion in Note 5. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. We perform periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution.

As a percentage of gross revenues.

[2]

The base management fee is reduced by the amount in which operating profits do not meet the performance guarantee. The performance guarantee was $8.6 million in 2013 and base management fees were reduced to zero.

[3]

The base management fee is 2.5% of gross revenues if the hotel achieves operating results in excess of 7% of our invested capital and 3% of gross revenues if the hotel achieves operating profits in excess of 8% of our invested capital.

[4]

The base management fee increases to 6% beginning in fiscal year 2015 for the remainder of the agreement. Prior to 2015, the base management fee may increase to 6.0% at the beginning of the fiscal year following the achievement of operating profits equal to or above $5.0 million.

[5]

The base management fee will increase to 1.5% of gross revenues beginning on July 12, 2014. Total management fees are capped at 2.5% of gross revenues.

[6]

During 2013, we amended the management agreement to reduce the annual base management fee from 2.5% to 2% effective March 1, 2013.

[7]

The base management fee is 2.75% of gross revenues if the hotel achieves operating profits in excess of 7% of our invested capital and 3.25% of gross revenues if the hotel achieves operating profits in excess of 8% of our invested capital.

[8]

Based on a percentage of hotel operating profits above a specified return on our invested capital or specified operating profit thresholds.

[9]

The owner's priority expires in 2027.

[10]

Calculated as 20% of net operating income before base management fees. There is no owner's priority.

[11]

The contribution is reduced to 1% until operating profits exceed an owner's priority of $3.8 million.

[12]

Pursuant to the loan agreement, dated March 29, 2013, beginning April 2013, the hotel is required to make a FF&E reserve contribution of 4% of gross revenues.

[13]

The agreement began on the date the hotel opened as a Autograph Collection hotel, which was August 19, 2013.

[14]

Increases to 4% on the first anniversary of the agreement and 5% on the second anniversary of the agreement.

Annual Rent	1	[7]
[1]	Represents rent for the year ended December 31, 2013. Rent will increase annually by 5.5%.
[2]	The total annual rent includes the fixed rent noted in the table plus a percentage rent equal to 5% of gross receipts for each lease year, but only to the extent that 5% of gross receipts exceeds the minimum fixed rent in such lease year. There was no such percentage rent earned during the year ended December 31, 2013.
[3]	The ground lease term is 49 years. We have the right to renew the ground lease for an additional 49 year term on the same terms then applicable to the ground lease.
[4]	We own a 21% interest in the land underlying the hotel and, as a result, 21% of the annual rent under the ground lease is paid to us by the hotel.
[5]	Total annual rent under the ground lease is capped at 2.5% of hotel gross revenues during the initial 30 years of the ground lease.
[6]	The ground lease payment and related property tax liability were negotiated as a single payment in lieu of taxes. The single payments increase at a rate of 5% per year through 2018. Beginning in 2019, there will no longer be a stipulated single payment and the hotel will pay only the real property tax portion of the initial single payment based on the then assessed valuation and applicable tax rate.
[7]	We have the right to extend the term of this lease for two consecutive renewal terms of ten years each with rent at then market value.
