Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company is a self-advised REIT that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one reportable segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although the Company has interests in potential variable interest entities through its purchase commitments, it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have any elements of power in the decision making process of these entities, and therefore does not consolidate the entities. As of March 31, 2017, the Company owned 236 hotels with an aggregate of 30,203 rooms located in 33 states, including one hotel with 224 rooms classified as held for sale, which was sold to a third party in April 2017. The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “APLE.” Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2017. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated after giving effect to all potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding for the period. Basic and diluted net income per common share were the same for each of the periods presented. Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business Accounting Standards Recently Issued In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20), Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) he adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract]
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block]	2. Merger with Apple REIT Ten, Inc. Effective September 1, 2016, the Company completed its previously announced merger with Apple REIT Ten, Inc. (“Apple Ten”) (the “merger”). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on April 13, 2016, as amended on July 13, 2016 (the “Merger Agreement”), Apple Ten merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), at which time the separate corporate existence of Apple Ten ceased and Acquisition Sub became the surviving corporation in the merger. Acquisition Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the merger and had not conducted any prior activities. As a result of the merger, the Company acquired the business of Apple Ten, a real estate investment trust, which immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, owned 56 hotels located in 17 states with an aggregate of 7,209 rooms. The Company accounted for the merger in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations Effective September 1, 2016, upon completion of the merger, the Company assumed approximately $145.7 million in mortgage debt, prior to any fair value adjustments, secured by nine properties. The Company also assumed the outstanding balance on Apple Ten’s credit facility totaling $111.1 million, which was terminated and repaid in full on September 1, 2016 with borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility. As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the completion of the merger, the advisory and related party arrangements with respect to Apple Ten and its advisors, as described in more detail in Note 7, were terminated. The following unaudited pro forma information for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, is presented as if the merger, effective September 1, 2016, had occurred on January 1, 2016, and is based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by the Company. The pro forma information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the operating results would have been had the merger been completed on January 1, 2016, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. The pro forma information does not give effect to any cost synergies or other operating efficiencies that could result from the merger. Amounts are in thousands except per share data. Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 (Actual) 2016 (Pro forma) Total revenue $ 292,925 $ 289,967 Net income $ 34,365 $ 44,846 Basic and diluted net income per common share $ 0.15 $ 0.20 Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted 223,047 223,396 For purposes of calculating these pro forma amounts, merger transaction costs totaling approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, were excluded from the pro forma amounts since these costs are attributable to the merger and related transactions and do not have an ongoing impact to the statements of operations.

Real Estate Disclosure [Text Block]	3. Investment in Real Estate The Company’s investment in real estate consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 Land $ 710,191 $ 707,878 Building and Improvements 4,284,509 4,270,095 Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment 398,156 391,421 Franchise Fees 11,702 11,692 5,404,558 5,381,086 Less Accumulated Depreciation (601,055 ) (557,597 ) Investment in Real Estate, net $ 4,803,503 $ 4,823,489 As of March 31, 2017, the Company owned 236 hotels with an aggregate of 30,203 rooms located in 33 states, including one hotel with 224 rooms classified as held for sale, which was sold in April 2017. On February 2, 2017, the Company closed on the purchase of a newly constructed 124-room Courtyard by Marriott in Fort Worth, Texas, the same day the hotel opened for business, for a gross purchase price of approximately $18.0 million, excluding capitalized transaction costs. The Company used borrowings under its revolving credit facility to purchase the hotel. The acquisition of this hotel property was accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect the acquisition, which were not significant, capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. There were no acquisitions during the three month period ended March 31, 2016. The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under master hotel lease agreements. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of four additional hotels for a total purchase price of $103.3 million. All four hotels are under construction and are planned to be completed and opened for business over the next six to 18 months from March 31, 2017, at which time closing on these hotels is expected to occur. Although the Company is working towards acquiring these hotels, there are many conditions to closing that have not yet been satisfied and there can be no assurance that a closing on these hotels will occur under the outstanding purchase contracts. The following table summarizes the location, brand, date of purchase contract, expected number of rooms, refundable (if the seller does not meet its obligations under the contract) contract deposits paid, and gross purchase price for each of the contracts outstanding at March 31, 2017. All dollar amounts are in thousands. Location Brand Date of Purchase Contract Rooms Refundable Deposits Gross Purchase Price Birmingham, AL (a)(b) Home2 Suites 8/28/2015 105 $ 3 $ 19,219 Birmingham, AL (a)(b) Hilton Garden Inn 8/28/2015 105 2 19,219 Phoenix, AZ (a) Hampton 10/25/2016 210 500 44,100 Orlando, FL (a) Home2 Suites 1/18/2017 128 3 20,736 548 $ 508 $ 103,274 (a) As of March 31, 2017, these hotels were under construction. The table shows the expected number of rooms upon hotel completion and the expected franchise brands. Assuming all conditions to closing are met, the purchases of these hotels are expected to close over the next six to 18 months from March 31, 2017. If the seller meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under the contract. As the property is under construction, at this time, the seller has not met all of the conditions to closing. (b) The Home2 Suites and Hilton Garden Inn hotels in Birmingham, AL are part of an adjoining two-hotel complex located on the same site. The Company intends to use borrowings under its revolving credit facility to purchase the hotels under contract if a closing occurs. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company identified two properties for potential sale (the Columbus, Georgia SpringHill Suites and TownePlace Suites hotels). In April 2017, the Company entered into separate contracts with the same unrelated party for the sale of these properties for a total combined gross sales price of approximately $10.0 million. The contracts are subject to a number of conditions to closing and therefore there can be no assurance that closings will occur. If the closings occur, each of these sales are expected to be completed within six months of March 31, 2017. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the sales to pay down borrowings on its revolving credit facility. Due to the change in the anticipated hold period for each of these hotels, the Company reviewed the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by each property (including its sale price, net of estimated selling costs) and determined that, for each hotel, the undiscounted cash flows were less than its carrying value; therefore the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $7.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 to adjust the bases of these properties to their estimated fair values, which were based on the contracted sale price, net of estimated selling costs, a Level 1 input under the fair value hierarchy. Since the contracts for the sales of these properties had not been finalized as of March 31, 2017, the assets and liabilities related to these properties have not been classified as held for sale in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017.

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	4. Assets Held for Sale In December 2016, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale of its 224-room Hilton hotel in Dallas, Texas for a gross sales price of approximately $56.1 million, as amended. The hotel has been classified as held for sale at its historical cost (which is less than the contract price, net of costs to sell) in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. On April 20, 2017, the Company completed the sale resulting in an estimated gain of approximately $16 million, which will be recognized in the second quarter of 2017. The estimated gain is calculated as the total sales price, net of commissions and selling costs, less the carrying value totaling approximately $39.0 million as of March 31, 2017. Under the contract, at closing, the mortgage loan secured by the Dallas, Texas Hilton hotel was assumed by the buyer with the buyer receiving a credit for the amount assumed. As of March 31, 2017, the mortgage loan had an outstanding balance of approximately $27.1 million and was included in mortgage debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The net proceeds from the sale were used to pay down borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility. Company’s consolidated statements of operations include operating income of approximately $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, relating to the results of operations of the Dallas, Texas Hilton hotel.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	5. Debt $965 Million Credit Facility The Company utilizes an unsecured “$965 million credit facility” comprised of (i) a $540 million revolving credit facility with an initial maturity date of May 18, 2019 (the “revolving credit facility”) and (ii) a $425 million term loan facility with a maturity date of May 18, 2020, consisting of three term loans, all funded during 2015 (the “$425 million term loans”). Subject to certain conditions including covenant compliance and additional fees, the revolving credit facility maturity date may be extended one year and the amount of the total credit facility may be increased from $965 million to $1.25 billion. The Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, at any time. Interest payments on the $965 million credit facility are due monthly and the interest rate, subject to certain exceptions, is equal to an annual rate of the one-month LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate for a one-month term) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.30%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. In conjunction with the $425 million term loans, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements, which effectively fix the interest rate on $322.5 million of the outstanding balance at approximately 3.10%, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio, through maturity. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. The Company is also required to pay quarterly an unused facility fee at an annual rate of 0.20% or 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, based on the amount of borrowings outstanding during the quarter. $150 Million Term Loan Facility On April 8, 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured $150 million term loan facility with a syndicate of commercial banks (the “$150 million term loan facility”), consisting of a term loan of up to $50 million that will mature on April 8, 2021 (the “$50 million term loan”) and a term loan of up to $100 million that will mature on April 8, 2023 (the “$100 million term loan,” and collectively with the $50 million term loan, the “$150 million term loans”). The Company initially borrowed $50 million under the $150 million term loan facility on April 8, 2016 and borrowed the remaining $100 million on September 30, 2016. The credit agreement contains requirements and covenants similar to the Company’s $965 million credit facility. The Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain conditions. Interest payments on the $150 million term loan facility are due monthly and the interest rate is equal to an annual rate of the one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.45% to 2.20% for the $50 million term loan and 1.80% to 2.60% for the $100 million term loan, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. The Company also entered into two interest rate swap agreements which, beginning on September 30, 2016, effectively fix the interest rate on the $50 million term loan and $100 million term loan at 2.54% and 3.13%, respectively, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio, through maturity. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. Proceeds from the $150 million term loan facility were used to pay down outstanding balances under the Company’s revolving credit facility, using the increased availability to repay scheduled mortgage debt maturities through the end of the first quarter of 2017. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the details of the Company’s revolving credit facility, $425 million term loans and $150 million term loans were as set forth below.

(2) Annual variable interest rate at the balance sheet date. (3) Effective annual interest rate which includes the effect of interest rate swaps on $322.5 million of the outstanding loan balance, resulting in an annual fixed interest rate of approximately 3.10% on this portion of the debt, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. Remaining portion is variable rate debt. (4) Annual fixed interest rate at the balance sheet date which includes the effect of an interest rate swap on the outstanding loan balance, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s leverage ratio. See Note 6 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. The credit agreements governing the $965 million credit facility and $150 million term loan facility contain mandatory prepayment requirements, customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default. The credit agreements require that the Company comply with various covenants, which include, among others, a minimum tangible net worth, maximum debt limits, minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, limits on dividend payments and share repurchases and restrictions on certain investments. The Company was in compliance with the applicable covenants at March 31, 2017. Mortgage Debt As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $462.5 million in outstanding property level debt secured by 29 properties, with maturity dates ranging from June 2020 to December 2026, stated interest rates ranging from 3.55% to 6.25% and effective interest rates ranging from 3.55% to 4.97%. The loans generally provide for monthly payments of principal and interest on an amortized basis and defeasance or prepayment penalties if prepaid.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Except as described below, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Debt The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity of a debt obligation with similar credit terms and credit characteristics, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Market rates take into consideration general market conditions and maturity. As of March 31, 2017, both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $1.4 billion. As of December 31, 2016, both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $1.3 billion. Both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt (as discussed above) is net of unamortized debt issuance costs related to term loans and mortgage debt for each specific year. Derivative Instruments Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risks on variable rate debt. Throughout the terms of these interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the one month LIBOR. The swaps are designed to effectively fix the interest payments on variable rate debt instruments. These instruments are recorded at fair value and, if in an asset position, are included in other assets, net, and, if in a liability position, are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts, which is considered a Level 2 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The following table sets forth information for each of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. All dollar amounts are in thousands. Fair Value Asset (Liability) Hedge Type Notional Amount at March 31, 2017 Origination Date Maturity Date Swap Fixed Interest Rate March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Cash flow hedge $ 212,500 5/21/2015 5/18/2020 1.58 % $ 618 $ (198 ) Cash flow hedge 110,000 7/2/2015 5/18/2020 1.62 % 186 (246 ) Cash flow hedge 50,000 4/7/2016 3/31/2021 1.09 % 1,405 1,289 Cash flow hedge 100,000 4/7/2016 3/31/2023 1.33 % 3,925 3,744 $ 6,134 $ 4,589 The Company assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of its qualifying cash flow hedges. Changes in fair value on the effective portion of all designated cash flow hedges are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value on the ineffective portion of all designated cash flow hedges are recorded to interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. To adjust qualifying cash flow hedges to their fair value and recognize the impact of hedge accounting, the Company recorded net unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $1.5 million and $(6.7) million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to other comprehensive income (loss). There was no ineffectiveness recorded on designated cash flow hedges during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified to interest and other expense, net as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate derivatives. Net unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 include approximately $(0.8) million and $(1.0) million, respectively, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest and other expense, net. The Company estimates that approximately $1.2 million of net unrealized gains (losses) included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2017 will be reclassified as an increase to interest and other expense, net within the next 12 months.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	7. Related Parties The Company has, and is expected to continue to engage in, transactions with related parties. These transactions cannot be construed to be at arm’s length and the results of the Company’s operations may be different if these transactions were conducted with non-related parties. There have been no changes to the contracts and relationships discussed in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Below is a summary of the significant related party relationships in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Prior to the merger, Glade M. Knight, Executive Chairman of the Company, was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apple Ten. Apple Ten’s advisors, Apple Ten Advisors, Inc. (“A10A”) and Apple Realty Group, Inc. (“ARG”), are wholly owned by Mr. Knight. Mr. Knight is also currently a partner and Chief Executive Officer of Energy 11 GP, LLC and Energy Resources 12 GP, LLC, which are the respective general partners of Energy 11, L.P. and Energy Resources 12, L.P. Justin G. Knight, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, also served as President of Apple Ten prior to the merger. Support Services to Apple Ten, A10A and ARG Prior to and After the Apple Ten Merger Effective September 1, 2016, the Company completed its merger with Apple Ten. As contemplated in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the completion of the merger, the advisory and related party arrangements with respect to the Company, Apple Ten and Apple Ten’s advisors, A10A and ARG, were terminated. Prior to the merger, A10A subcontracted its obligations under the advisory agreement between A10A and Apple Ten to the Company. The Company provided to Apple Ten the advisory services contemplated under the A10A advisory agreement and received an annual advisory fee and was reimbursed by Apple Ten for the use of the Company’s employees and corporate office and other costs associated with the advisory agreement. Additionally, the Company provided support services to Apple Ten’s advisors, who agreed to reimburse the Company for its costs in providing these services. Both the advisory fees and reimbursed costs received by the Company from Apple Ten were recorded as general and administrative expense by Apple Ten and reductions to general and administrative expense by the Company and, therefore, the termination of the subcontract agreement had no financial impact on the combined company after the effective time of the merger. After the merger, the Company has continued and will continue to provide support services to ARG for activities unrelated to Apple Ten. Prior to the merger, advisory fees earned by the Company from Apple Ten for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled approximately $0.6 million and are recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Total reimbursed costs received by the Company from these entities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (including Apple Ten, A10A and ARG prior to September 1, 2016 and ARG thereafter) totaled approximately $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total amounts due from ARG for activities unrelated to Apple Ten for reimbursements under the cost sharing structure each totaled approximately $0.2 million, and are included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As part of the cost sharing arrangement, certain day-to-day transactions may result in amounts due to or from the Company and ARG. To efficiently manage cash disbursements, the Company or ARG may make payments for the other company. Under this cash management process, each company may advance or defer up to $1 million at any time. Each quarter, any outstanding amounts are settled between the companies. This process allows each company to minimize its cash on hand and reduces the cost for each company. The amounts outstanding at any point in time are not significant to either of the companies. Apple Air Holding, LLC (“Apple Air”) The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Air, owns a Learjet used primarily for acquisition, asset management, renovation and public relations purposes. Prior to the merger, Apple Air was jointly owned by the Company (74%) and Apple Ten (26%), with Apple Ten’s ownership interest accounted for as a minority interest. Effective September 1, 2016, with the completion of the merger, the Company acquired Apple Ten’s 26% equity interest in Apple Air resulting in a 100% equity ownership interest in Apple Air and the elimination of Apple Ten’s minority interest. The aircraft is also leased to affiliates of the Company based on third party rates, which was not significant during the reporting periods. The Company also utilizes aircraft, owned through two entities, one of which is owned by the Company’s Executive Chairman, and the other, its President and Chief Executive Officer, for acquisition, asset management, renovation and public relations purposes, and reimburses these entities at third party rates. Total amounts incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $0.04 million and $0.05 million, respectively, related to aircraft owned through these two entities and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans [Text Block]	9. Compensation Plans In February 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved an executive incentive plan (“2017 Incentive Plan”), effective January 1, 2017, and established incentive goals for 2017. Under the 2017 Incentive Plan, participants are eligible to receive a bonus based on the achievement of certain 2017 performance measures, consisting of operational performance metrics (including targeted Modified Funds from Operations per share, Comparable Hotels revenue per available room growth and Adjusted Hotel EBITDA Margin growth) and shareholder return metrics (including shareholder return relative to a peer group and total shareholder return over one-year and two-year periods). The components of the operational performance metrics and shareholder return metrics are equally weighted and the two metrics each account for 50% of the total target incentive compensation. The range of potential aggregate payouts under the 2017 Incentive Plan is $0 - $18 million. Based on performance through March 31, 2017, the Company has accrued approximately $2.0 million as a liability for potential executive bonus payments under the 2017 Incentive Plan, which is included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 and in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Approximately 25% of awards under the 2017 Incentive Plan, if any, will be paid in cash, and 75% will be issued in stock under the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, two-thirds of which would vest at the end of 2017 and one-third of which would vest at the end of 2018. During 2016 and 2015, comparable executive incentive plans were approved by the Compensation Committee (“2016 Incentive Plan” and “2015 Incentive Plan”) that were effective January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2015, respectively.

Of the total shares issued under the 2016 Incentive Plan, 60,028 shares were unrestricted at the time of issuance, and the remaining 41,277 restricted shares will vest on December 15, 2017. Of the total shares issued under the 2015 Incentive Plan, 146,279 shares were unrestricted at the time of issuance, and the remaining 158,066 restricted shares vested on December 31, 2016, of which 50,044 common shares were surrendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”), o n July 19, 2016, a purported shareholder of Apple Ten, now part of the Company, commenced a derivative action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. On November 2, 2016, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation, which t Moses, et al. v. Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., et al. As previously disclosed in the 2016 Form 10-K, on April 22, 2014, Plaintiff Susan Moses, purportedly a shareholder of Apple REIT Seven, Inc. (“Apple Seven”) and Apple REIT Eight, Inc. (“Apple Eight”), filed a class action against the Company and several individual directors on behalf of all then-existing shareholders and former shareholders of Apple Seven and Apple Eight, who purchased additional shares under the Dividend Reinvestment Plans (“DRIP”) of Apple Seven, Apple Eight and the Company between July 17, 2007 and February 12, 2014. In January 2017, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation for $5.5 million, which settlement remains subject to final court approval, and was included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, and in transaction and litigation costs in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. At this time, no assurance can be given that the proposed settlement will be approved, and therefore the actual loss incurred could be in excess of the amount accrued as of March 31, 2017. Wilchfort, et al. v. Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., et al. On February 24, 2017, Plaintiff Marsha Wilchfort, purportedly a shareholder of Apple REIT Six, Inc.

The complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and alleges, among other items, breach of contract under Virginia law, tortious interference and breach of implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. The complaint alleges that the prices at which Plaintiff and the purported class members purchased additional shares through the DRIPs were not indicative of the true value of the units of Apple Six, Apple Seven and Apple Eight. The Company believes that Plaintiff’s claims are without merit and intends to defend this case vigorously. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of this proceeding or provide a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss due to this proceeding, if any.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	Organization Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a Virginia corporation that has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. The Company is a self-advised REIT that invests in income-producing real estate, primarily in the lodging sector, in the United States. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company has no foreign operations or assets and its operating structure includes only one reportable segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although the Company has interests in potential variable interest entities through its purchase commitments, it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have any elements of power in the decision making process of these entities, and therefore does not consolidate the entities. As of March 31, 2017, the Company owned 236 hotels with an aggregate of 30,203 rooms located in 33 states, including one hotel with 224 rooms classified as held for sale, which was sold to a third party in April 2017.
