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 (“U.S.”). 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, 2019, the Company owned 234 hotels with an aggregate of 30,046 rooms located in 34 states. The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2019. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity. With the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Leases (Topic 840) Leases (Topic 840) Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, Leases (Topic 840) The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019, electing to recognize and measure its leases prospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to shareholders’ equity, without restating the presentation of periods prior to the effective date, which continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy. At adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment totaling approximately $5.2 million to distributions greater than net income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company elected to apply certain practical expedients allowed under the standard including (i) to use hindsight in determining the term as well as assessing the impairment of its existing leases, (ii) to not assess whether existing land easements not previously accounted for as leases are or contain leases, and (iii) to not evaluate short-term leases. The Company has elected not to apply the package of practical expedients under the standard which would have allowed the Company to not reassess at the date of adoption: (i) whether any existing contracts meet the definition of a lease, (ii) the lease classification for any existing leases, and (iii) the accounting for initial direct costs of any existing leases. At adoption of the new standard, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its ground leases and certain other operating leases measured at the estimated present value of the remaining minimum lease payments under the leases. Four of the Company’s ground leases that were previously classified as operating leases under Topic 840 are classified as financing leases under Topic 842. For these finance leases, effective January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes depreciation and amortization expense and interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, instead of operating ground lease expense. While the total expense recognized over the life of a lease is unchanged, the timing of expense recognition for these finance leases results in higher expense recognition during the earlier years of the lease and lower expense during the later years of the lease. In addition to recording operating and financing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company also reclassified at adoption its intangible assets for below market leases and intangible liabilities for above market leases, as well as its accrued straight-line lease liabilities for its operating leases, to the beginning right-of-use assets. The Company derecognized its accrued straight-line lease liabilities related to its finance leases, which are included in the cumulative-effect adjustment noted above. The Company is also a lessor in certain retail lease agreements related to its real estate, however, there was no material change to the accounting for these leasing arrangements. See Note 9 for more information regarding the Company’s lease assets and liabilities.

The Company leases all of its hotels to its wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary (or a subsidiary thereof) under master hotel lease agreements. Hotel Acquisitions The Company acquired two hotels during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The following table sets forth the location, brand, manager, date acquired, number of rooms and gross purchase price, excluding transaction costs, for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands. City State Brand Manager Date Acquired Rooms Gross Purchase Price St. Paul MN Hampton Vista Host 3/4/2019 160 $ 31,680 Orlando FL Home2 Suites LBA 3/19/2019 128 20,736 288 $ 52,416 During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company acquired five hotels including two hotels in the first three months of 2018. The following table sets forth the location, brand, manager, date acquired, number of rooms and gross purchase price, excluding transaction costs, for each hotel. All dollar amounts are in thousands. City State Brand Manager Date Acquired Rooms Gross Purchase Price Atlanta/Downtown GA Hampton McKibbon 2/5/2018 119 $ 24,000 Memphis TN Hampton Crestline 2/5/2018 144 39,000 Phoenix AZ Hampton North Central 5/2/2018 210 44,300 Atlanta/Perimeter Dunwoody GA Hampton LBA 6/28/2018 132 29,500 Jacksonville FL Hyatt Place LBA 12/7/2018 127 15,400 732 $ 152,200 The Company used borrowings under its revolving credit facility to purchase each of these hotels. The acquisitions of these hotel properties were 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. For the two hotels acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2019, the amount of revenue and operating income included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2019 was approximately $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the two hotels acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the amount of revenue and operating income included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2018 was approximately $2.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Hotel Purchase Contract Commitments As of March 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding contracts for the potential purchase of four hotels for a total expected purchase price of approximately $110.0 million, which are under development and are planned to be completed and opened for business over the next 15 to 21 months from March 31, 2019, at which time closings on these hotels are 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 closings 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, 2019. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

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 occur over the next 15 to 21 months from March 31, 2019. If the seller meets all of the conditions to closing, the Company is obligated to specifically perform under the contract. As the properties are under development, at this time, the seller has not met all of the conditions to closing. (2) These hotels are part of an adjoining combined 224-room, dual-branded complex that will be located on the same site. (3) These hotels are part of an adjoining combined 254-room, dual-branded complex that will be located on the same site. The Company intends to use borrowings under its credit facilities to purchase the hotels under contract if a closing occurs.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	3 . Dispositions In February 2019, the Company terminated its purchase and sale agreement with an unrelated party for the sale of 16 of its hotels and entered into two purchase and sale agreements with the same unrelated party for the sale of a total of nine hotels for a total combined gross sales price of $95.0 million. On March 28, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the hotels, resulting in a gain of approximately $1.8 million, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The nine hotels had a total carrying value of approximately $93.0 million at the time of the sale. The following table lists the nine hotels sold: City State Brand Rooms Sarasota FL Homewood Suites 100 Tampa FL TownePlace Suites 94 Baton Rouge LA SpringHill Suites 119 Holly Springs NC Hampton 124 Duncanville TX Hilton Garden Inn 142 Texarkana TX Courtyard 90 Texarkana TX TownePlace Suites 85 Bristol VA Courtyard 175 Harrisonburg VA Courtyard 125 Total 1,054 During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold three hotels in two transactions with unrelated parties for a total combined gross sales price of approximately $15.8 million, resulting in a combined gain on sale of approximately $0.2 million, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. Of the three hotels sold, two of the hotels (the Columbus, Georgia 89-room SpringHill Suites and 86-room TownePlace Suites) were sold on July 13, 2018 for a combined gross sales price of $10.0 million, resulting in no gain or loss on the sale, and one hotel (the 72-room Springdale, Arkansas Residence Inn) was sold on November 29, 2018 for a gross sales price of approximately $5.8 million, resulting in a gain of approximately $0.2 million. During the second quarter of 2018, the Company recognized impairment losses of approximately $3.1 million related to these three hotels, which is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, and consisted of approximately $0.5 million to adjust the bases of the two Columbus hotels that sold in July 2018 to their estimated fair values, which were based on the contracted sales prices, net of estimated selling costs, and approximately $2.6 million to adjust the basis of the Springdale, Arkansas Residence Inn that sold in November 2018 to its estimated fair value, which was based on the offers received at that time, net of estimated selling costs. The Company’s consolidated statements of operations include operating income, excluding gain on sale of real estate, of approximately $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, relating to the results of operations of the twelve hotels sold as noted above for the period of ownership. The sale of these properties does not represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, and therefore the operating results for the period of ownership of these properties are included in income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The net proceeds from the sales were used to pay down borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility.

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 London Inter-Bank Offered Rate for a one-month term (“one-month LIBOR”). The swaps are designed to effectively fix the interest payments on variable-rate debt instruments. See Note 5 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. The Company’s total fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, after giving effect to its interest rate swaps, is set forth below. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

See Note 5 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans $850 Million Credit Facility On July 27, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its then outstanding unsecured $965 million credit facility, which was repaid at closing, reducing the borrowing capacity to $850 million, reducing the annual interest rate and extending the maturity dates (the “$850 million credit facility”). The $850 million credit facility is comprised of (i) a $425 million revolving credit facility with an initial maturity date of July 27, 2022 and (ii) a $425 million term loan facility consisting of two term loans: a $200 million term loan with a maturity date of July 27, 2023, and a $225 million term loan with a maturity date of January 31, 2024, both funded at closing (the “$425 million term loan facility”). At closing, the Company repaid the $425 million outstanding under the term loans of the $965 million credit facility with the proceeds from the $425 million term loan facility under the $850 million credit facility and borrowed approximately $196 million under the $425 million revolving credit facility to repay the outstanding balance of the extinguished revolving credit facility and to pay closing costs. Subject to certain conditions including covenant compliance and additional fees, the $425 million revolving credit facility maturity date may be extended up to one year. The Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, at any time. Interest payments on the $850 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 plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 2.25%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. The Company is also required to pay quarterly an unused facility fee at an annual rate of 0.20% or 0.25% on the unused portion of the $425 million revolving credit facility, based on the amount of borrowings outstanding during the quarter. $225 Million Term Loan Facility On August 2, 2018, the Company entered into an amendment and restatement of its then outstanding $150 million term loan facility, which was repaid at closing, increasing the borrowing capacity to $225 million, reducing the annual interest rate and extending the maturity dates (the “$225 million term loan facility”). The $225 million term loan facility is comprised of (i) a $50 million term loan with a maturity date of August 2, 2023, which was funded at closing, and (ii) a $175 million term loan with a maturity date of August 2, 2025, of which $100 million was drawn at closing and the remaining $75 million was drawn on January 29, 2019. At closing, the Company repaid the $150 million outstanding under the $150 million term loan facility with the proceeds from the $225 million term loan facility. The credit agreement contains requirements and covenants similar to the Company’s $850 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 $225 million term loan facility are due monthly and the interest rate, subject to certain exceptions, is equal to an annual rate of the one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 2.50%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. $85 Million Term Loan On July 25, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured $85 million term loan with a syndicate of commercial banks, with a maturity date of July 25, 2024 (the “$85 million term loan” and, together with the $850 million credit facility and the $225 million term loan facility, the “credit facilities”). Although no material terms were changed, the credit agreement was amended and restated in August 2018 as a result of the refinancings noted above. The amended and restated credit agreement contains requirements and covenants similar to the Company’s $850 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 $85 million term loan are due monthly and the interest rate is equal to an annual rate of the one-month LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.80% to 2.60%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	5 . 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, both the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt were approximately $1.4 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 swap 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

(2) In December 2018 the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement with a commercial bank, which beginning January 31, 2020 will effectively fix the interest rate on $25 million of the Company's variable-rate debt. (3) In December 2018 the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement with a commercial bank, which beginning May 18, 2020 will effectively fix the interest rate on $50 million of the Company's variable-rate debt. The Company assesses, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of its qualifying cash flow hedges. The change in the fair value of the Company’s designated cash flow hedges is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest and other expense, net as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate derivatives. The Company estimates that approximately $4.4 million of net unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income at March 31, 2019 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest and other expense, net within the next 12 months.

Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	6 . 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 2018 Form 10-K. Below is a summary of the significant related party relationships in effect during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Glade M. Knight, Executive Chairman of the Company, owns Apple Realty Group, Inc. (“ARG”), which receives support services from the Company and reimburses the Company for the cost of these services as discussed below. 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., each of which receive support services from ARG. The Company provides support services, including the use of the Company’s employees and corporate office, to ARG and is reimbursed by ARG for the cost of these services. The amounts reimbursed to the Company are based on the actual costs of the services and a good faith estimate of the proportionate amount of time incurred by the Company’s employees on behalf of ARG. Total reimbursed costs allocated by the Company to ARG for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction to general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. 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. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total amounts due from ARG for reimbursements under the cost sharing structure totaled approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and are included in other assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Apple Air Holding, LLC, owns a Learjet used primarily for acquisition, asset management, renovation and public relations purposes. The aircraft is also leased to affiliates of the Company based on third party rates, which leasing activity 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, by its President and Chief Executive Officer, for acquisition, asset management, renovation and public relations purposes, and reimburses these entities at third party rates. Total costs incurred for the use of these aircraft during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were approximately $0.05 million and $0.03 million, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 13 hotels subject to ground leases and three parking lot ground leases with remaining terms ranging from approximately four to 87 years. Certain of its ground leases have options to extend beyond the initial lease term by periods ranging from five to 120 years. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Under the new standard, the Company’s leases are classified as operating or finance leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes a ROU asset and lease liability at the estimated present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Many of the Company’s leases include rental escalation clauses (including fixed schedule rent increases) and renewal options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate and the present value of the remaining lease payments is adjusted accordingly. The Company utilizes interest rates implicit in the lease if determinable or, if not, it estimates its incremental borrowing rate from information available at lease commencement, to determine the present value of the lease payments. At transition to the new standard, the Company used information available at that time to determine the incremental borrowing rates on its existing leases at January 1, 2019 based on estimates of rates the Company would pay for senior collateralized loans with terms similar to each lease. Twelve of the Company’s hotel and parking lot ground leases as well as all of its hotel equipment leases and office space leases are classified as operating leases, for which the Company recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities at adoption of the new standard. The ROU assets are included in other assets, net and the lease liabilities are included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company also reclassified at adoption of the new standard, its intangible assets for below market ground leases and intangible liabilities for above market ground leases related to these leases from other assets, net and accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, respectively, as well as accrued straight-line lease liabilities related to these leases from accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet to the beginning ROU assets. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease and the value of each lease intangible is amortized over the term of the respective lease. Costs related to operating ground leases are included in operating ground lease expense, while costs related to hotel equipment leases are included in hotel operating expense and property taxes, insurance and other expense, and costs related to office space leases are included in general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Four of the Company’s hotel ground leases are classified as finance leases, for which the Company recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities at adoption of the new standard. The ROU assets are recorded as finance ground lease assets within investment in real estate, net and the lease liabilities are recorded as finance lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company also reclassified at adoption of the new standard, its intangible assets for below market ground leases and intangible liabilities for above market ground leases related to these leases from other assets, net and accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, respectively, to the beginning ROU assets. At adoption of the new standard, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment totaling approximately $5.2 million, which included the derecognition of accrued straight-line lease liabilities related to the finance leases, to distributions greater than net income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The ROU asset and value of each lease intangible is amortized over the term of the respective lease. Costs related to finance ground leases are included in depreciation and amortization expense and interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	10 . Subsequent Events In April 2019, the Company paid approximately $22.4 million, or $0.10 per outstanding common share, in distributions to its common shareholders. In April 2019, the Company declared a regular monthly cash distribution of $0.10 per common share for the month of May 2019. The distribution is payable on May 15, 2019.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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 (“U.S.”). 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, 2019, the Company owned 234 hotels with an aggregate of 30,046 rooms located in 34 states. The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “APLE.”
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2019.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	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.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity. With the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Leases (Topic 840) Leases (Topic 840) Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, Leases (Topic 840) The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019, electing to recognize and measure its leases prospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment to shareholders’ equity, without restating the presentation of periods prior to the effective date, which continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy. At adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment totaling approximately $5.2 million to distributions greater than net income, a component of shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company elected to apply certain practical expedients allowed under the standard including (i) to use hindsight in determining the term as well as assessing the impairment of its existing leases, (ii) to not assess whether existing land easements not previously accounted for as leases are or contain leases, and (iii) to not evaluate short-term leases. The Company has elected not to apply the package of practical expedients under the standard which would have allowed the Company to not reassess at the date of adoption: (i) whether any existing contracts meet the definition of a lease, (ii) the lease classification for any existing leases, and (iii) the accounting for initial direct costs of any existing leases. At adoption of the new standard, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its ground leases and certain other operating leases measured at the estimated present value of the remaining minimum lease payments under the leases. Four of the Company’s ground leases that were previously classified as operating leases under Topic 840 are classified as financing leases under Topic 842. For these finance leases, effective January 1, 2019, the Company recognizes depreciation and amortization expense and interest and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, instead of operating ground lease expense. While the total expense recognized over the life of a lease is unchanged, the timing of expense recognition for these finance leases results in higher expense recognition during the earlier years of the lease and lower expense during the later years of the lease. In addition to recording operating and financing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company also reclassified at adoption its intangible assets for below market leases and intangible liabilities for above market leases, as well as its accrued straight-line lease liabilities for its operating leases, to the beginning right-of-use assets. The Company derecognized its accrued straight-line lease liabilities related to its finance leases, which are included in the cumulative-effect adjustment noted above. The Company is also a lessor in certain retail lease agreements related to its real estate, however, there was no material change to the accounting for these leasing arrangements. See Note 9 for more information regarding the Company’s lease assets and liabilities.
