Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation —Our consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Hyatt Hotels Corporation and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic —The COVID-19 pandemic and related travel restrictions and containment efforts have had a significant impact on the travel industry and as a result, on our business. The impact began in the first quarter of 2020 and has continued throughout the year ended December 31, 2020. As a result, our financial results for 2020, and for the foreseeable future, are not comparable to past performance or indicative of long-term future performance. Use of Estimates —We are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent risk and uncertainty due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and actual results could differ materially from our estimated amounts. Reclassifications —Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Revenue Recognition —Our revenues are primarily derived from the products and services provided to our customers and generally recognized when control of the product or service has transferred to the customer. Our customers include third-party hotel owners and franchisees, guests at owned and leased hotels, a third-party partner through our co-branded credit card program, and owners and guests of the condominium ownership units. A summary of our revenue streams is as follows: • Owned and leased hotels revenues —Owned and leased hotels revenues are derived from room rentals and services provided at our owned and leased hotels. We present revenues net of sales, occupancy, and other taxes. Taxes collected on behalf of and remitted to governmental taxing authorities are excluded from the transaction price of the underlying products and services. • Management, franchise, and other fees —Management fees primarily consist of a base fee, which is generally calculated as a percentage of gross revenues, and an incentive fee, which is generally computed based on a hotel profitability measure. Included within the management fees are royalty fees that we earn in exchange for providing access to Hyatt's intellectual property ("IP"). Franchise fees consist of an initial fee and ongoing royalty fees computed as a percentage of gross room revenues and as applicable, food and beverage revenues. Other fees include license fee revenues associated with the licensing of the Hyatt brand names through our co-branded credit card program and sales of our branded residential ownership units as well as termination fees. • Net management, franchise, and other fees —Management, franchise, and other fees are reduced by the amortization of management and franchise agreement assets and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers. Consideration provided to customers related to management and franchise agreement assets is recorded in other assets and amortized to Contra revenue over the expected customer life, which is typically the initial term of the management or franchise agreement. • Other revenues —Other revenues include revenues from our residential management operations for our condominium ownership units, the sale of promotional awards through our co-branded credit card program, and spa and fitness revenues from Exhale, which was sold during the year ended December 31, 2020 (see Note 7). • Revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties —Revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties represent the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of the owners of properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to payroll at managed properties where the Company is the employer, as well as system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The products and services we offer to our customers are comprised of the following performance obligations: Management and franchise agreements • License to Hyatt's IP, including the Hyatt brand names —We receive variable consideration from third-party hotel owners in exchange for providing access to our IP, including the Hyatt brand names. The license represents a license of symbolic IP and in exchange for providing the license, Hyatt receives sales-based royalty fees. Fees are generally payable on a monthly basis as the third-party hotel owners and franchisees derive value from access to our IP. Royalty fees are recognized over time as services are rendered. Under our franchise agreements, we also receive initial fees from third-party hotel owners and franchisees. The initial fees do not represent a distinct performance obligation, and therefore, are combined with the royalty fees and deferred and recognized through management, franchise, and other fees over the expected customer life, which is typically the initial term of the franchise agreement. • System-wide services —We provide system-wide services on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The promise to provide system-wide services is not a distinct performance obligation because it is attendant to the license of our IP. Therefore, this promise is combined with the license of our IP to form a single performance obligation. We have two accounting models depending on the terms of the agreements: • Cost reimbursement model —Hotel owners and franchisees are required to reimburse us for all costs incurred to operate the system-wide programs with no added margin. The reimbursements are recognized over time within revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. We have discretion over how we spend program revenues, and therefore, we are the principal. Expenses incurred related to the system-wide programs are recognized within costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. The reimbursement of system-wide services is billed monthly based on an annual estimate of costs to be incurred and recognized as revenue commensurate with incurring the cost. Any amounts collected and not yet recognized as revenues are deferred and classified as contract liabilities. Any costs incurred in excess of revenues collected are classified as receivables to the extent we expect to recover the costs over the long term. • Fund model —Hotel owners and franchisees are invoiced a system-wide assessment fee primarily based on a percentage of hotel revenues on a monthly basis. We recognize the revenues over time as services are provided through revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. We have discretion over how we spend program revenues, and therefore, we are the principal. Expenses related to the system-wide programs are recognized as incurred through costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. Over time, we intend to manage the system-wide programs to break-even and not earn a profit on these services, but the timing of the revenue received from the owners may not align with the timing of the expenses to operate the programs. Therefore, the difference between the revenues and expenses will impact our net income (loss). • Hotel management agreement services —Under the terms of our management agreements, we provide hotel management agreement services, which form a single performance obligation that qualifies as a series. In exchange, we receive variable consideration in the form of management fees which are comprised of base and/or incentive fees. Incentive fees are typically subject to the achievement of certain profitability targets, and therefore, we apply judgment in determining the amount of incentive fees recognized each period. Incentive fees revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that we will not reverse a significant portion of the fees in a subsequent period. We rely on internal financial forecasts and historical trends to estimate the amount of incentive fees revenue recognized and the probability that incentive fees will reverse in the future. Generally, base management fees are due and payable on a monthly basis as services are provided, and incentive fees are due and payable based on the terms of the agreement, but at a minimum, incentive fees are billed and collected annually. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered. Under the terms of certain management agreements, primarily within the U.S., we are the employer of hotel employees. When we are the employer, we are reimbursed for costs incurred related to the employee management services with no added margin, and the reimbursements are recognized over time as services are rendered within revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. In jurisdictions in which we are the employer, we have discretion over how employee management services are provided, and therefore, we are the principal. • Loyalty program administration —We administer the loyalty program for the benefit of Hyatt's portfolio of properties during the period of their participation in the loyalty program. Under the program, members earn points based on their spend at our properties, by transacting with our strategic loyalty alliances, or in connection with spend on a Hyatt co-branded credit card, which may be redeemed for the right to stay at participating properties, as well as for other goods and services from third parties. Points earned by loyalty program members represent a material right to free or discounted goods or services in the future. The loyalty program has one performance obligation that consists of marketing and managing the program and arranging for award redemptions by members. These two promises are not distinct because the promise to market and manage the program does not benefit the customer without the related arrangement for award redemptions. The costs of administering the loyalty program are charged to the properties through an assessment fee based on members' qualified expenditures. The assessment fee is billed and collected monthly, and the revenue received by the program is deferred until a member redeems points. Upon redemption of points at managed and franchised properties, we recognize the previously deferred revenue through revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties, net of redemption expense paid to managed and franchised hotels. We are responsible for arranging for the redemption of promotional awards, but we do not directly fulfill the award night obligation except at owned and leased hotels. Therefore, we are the agent with respect to this performance obligation for managed and franchised hotels, and we are the principal with respect to owned and leased hotels. A portion of our owned and leased hotels revenues is deferred upon initial stay as points are earned by program members at owned or leased hotels, and revenues are recognized upon redemption at owned or leased hotels. We actuarially determine the amount to recognize as revenue based on statistical formulas that estimate the timing of future point redemptions based on historical experience. The revenue recognized each period includes an estimate of the loyalty points that will eventually be redeemed and includes an estimate of breakage for the loyalty points that will not be redeemed. Determining breakage involves significant judgment, and we engage third-party actuaries to estimate the ultimate redemption ratios used in the breakage calculations and the amount of revenue recognized upon redemption. Changes to the expected ultimate redemption assumptions are reflected in the current period. Any revenues in excess of the anticipated future redemptions are used to fund the other operational expenses of the program. Room rentals and other services provided at owned and leased hotels We provide room rentals and other services to our guests, including but not limited to spa, laundry, and parking. These products and services each represent individual performance obligations, and in exchange for these services, we receive fixed amounts based on published rates or negotiated contracts. Payment is due in full at the time the services are rendered or the goods are provided. If a guest enters into a package including multiple goods or services, the fixed price is allocated to each distinct good or service based on the standalone selling price for each item. Revenue is recognized over time when we transfer control of the good or service to the customer. Room rental revenue is recognized on a daily basis as the guest occupies the room, and revenue related to other products and services is recognized when the product or service is provided to the guest. Hotels commonly enter into arrangements with online travel agencies, trade associations, and other entities. As part of these arrangements, Hyatt may pay the other party a commission or rebate based on the revenue generated through that channel. The determination of whether to recognize revenues gross or net of rebates and commissions is made based on the terms of each contract. Residential management operations We provide residential management services pursuant to rental management agreements with individual property owners and/or homeowner associations whereby the property owners and/or homeowner associations participate in our rental program. The services provided include reservations, housekeeping, security, and concierge assistance to guests in exchange for a variable fee based on a revenue sharing agreement with the owner of the condominium ownership unit. The services represent an individual performance obligation. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered or upon completion of the guest's stay at the condominium ownership unit. We are responsible for establishing pricing as well as fulfilling the services during the guest's stay, and as a result, we are deemed to be the principal in the transaction. Co-branded credit card program We have a co-branded credit card agreement with a third party and under the terms of the agreement, we have various performance obligations: granting a license to the Hyatt name, arranging for the fulfillment of points issued to cardholders through the loyalty program, and awarding cardholders with free room nights upon achievement of certain program milestones. The loyalty points and free room nights represent material rights that can be redeemed for free or discounted services in the future. In exchange for the products and services provided, we receive fixed and variable consideration which is allocated between the performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling prices. Significant judgment is involved in determining the relative standalone selling prices, and therefore, we engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist us. We utilize a relief from royalty method to determine the revenue allocated to the license which is recognized over time as the licensee derives value from access to Hyatt's brand name. We utilize observable transaction prices and adjusted market assumptions to determine the standalone selling price of a loyalty point, and we utilize a cost plus margin approach to determine the standalone selling price of the free room nights. The revenues allocated to loyalty program points and free night awards are deferred and recognized upon redemption or expiration of a card member's promotional awards which is recognized net of redemption expense when we are the agent. We are responsible for arranging for the redemption of promotional awards, but we do not directly fulfill the award night obligation except at owned and leased hotels. Therefore, we are the agent for managed and franchised hotels, and we are the principal with respect to owned and leased hotels. We satisfy the following performance obligations over time: the license of Hyatt's symbolic IP, hotel management agreement services, administration of the loyalty program, and the license to our brand name through our co-branded credit card agreement. Each of these performance obligations is considered a sales-based royalty or a series of distinct services, and although the activities to fulfill each of these promises may vary from day to day, the nature of each promise is the same and the customer benefits from the services every day. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, we recognize revenue using an output method based on the value transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the transaction price and the observable outputs related to each performance obligation. We deem the following to represent our progress in satisfying these performance obligations: • revenues and operating profits earned by the hotels during the reporting period for access to Hyatt's IP, as it is indicative of the value third-party hotel owners and franchisees derive; • revenues and operating profits of the hotels for the promise to provide management agreement services to the hotels; • award night redemptions or point redemptions with third-party partners for the administration of the loyalty program performance obligation; and • cardholder spend for the license to the Hyatt name through our co-branded credit card program, as it is indicative of the value our partner derives from the use of our name. Within our management agreements, we have two performance obligations: providing a license to Hyatt's IP and providing management agreement services. Although these constitute two separate performance obligations, both obligations represent services that are satisfied over time, and Hyatt recognizes revenue using an output method based on the performance of the hotel. Therefore, we have not allocated the transaction price between these two performance obligations as the allocation would result in the same pattern of revenue recognition. Revenue is adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. We have applied the practical expedient that permits the omission of prior-period information about revenue allocated to future performance obligations. We do not estimate revenues allocated to remaining performance obligations for the following: • Deferred revenue related to the loyalty program and revenue from base and incentive management fees as the revenue is allocated to a wholly unperformed performance obligation in a series; • Revenues related to royalty fees as they are considered sales-based royalty fees; • Revenues received for free nights granted through our co-branded credit card program as the awards have an original duration of 12 months; and • Revenues related to advanced bookings at owned and leased hotels as each stay has a duration of 12 months or less. Contract Balances —Our payments from customers are based on the billing terms established in our contracts. Customer billings are recorded as accounts receivable when our right to consideration is unconditional. If our right to consideration is conditional on future performance under the contract, the balance is recorded as a contract asset. Due to certain profitability hurdles in our management agreements, incentive fees are considered contract assets until the risk related to the achievement of the profitability metric no longer exists. Once the profitability hurdle has been met, the incentive fee receivable balance will be recorded in accounts receivable. Contract assets are recorded in receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Payments received in advance of performance under the contract are recorded as current or long-term contract liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and recognized as revenue as we perform under the contract. Cash Equivalents —We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash —Restricted cash generally represents sales proceeds pursuant to like-kind exchanges, debt service on bonds, escrow deposits, and other arrangements. Equity Method Investments —We have investments in unconsolidated hospitality ventures accounted for under the equity method. These investments are an integral part of our business and strategically and operationally important to our overall results. When we receive a distribution from an investment, we determine whether it is a return on our investment or a return of our investment based on the underlying nature of the distribution. Certain of our equity method investments are reported on a lag of up to three months. When intervening events occur during the time lag, we recognize the impact in our consolidated financial statements. We assess investments in unconsolidated hospitality ventures for impairment quarterly, and when there is an indication that a loss in value has occurred, we evaluate the carrying value in comparison to the estimated fair value of the investment. Fair value is based on internally developed discounted cash flow models, third-party appraisals, and if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. Under the discounted cash flow approach, we utilize various assumptions requiring judgment, including projected future cash flows, discount rates, and capitalization rates. Our estimates of projected future cash flows are based on historical data, various internal estimates, and a variety of external sources, and are developed as part of our routine, long-term planning process. If the estimated fair value is less than carrying value, we apply judgment to determine whether the decline in value is other than temporary. In determining this, we consider factors including, but not limited to, the length of time and extent of the decline, loss of value as a percentage of the cost, financial condition and near-term financial projections, our intent and ability to recover the lost value, and current economic conditions. Impairments deemed other than temporary are recognized in equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our consolidated statements of income (loss). For additional information about equity method investments, see Note 4. Debt and Equity Securities —Excluding equity method investments, debt and equity securities consist of various investments: • Equity securities consist of interest-bearing money market funds, mutual funds, common shares, and preferred shares. Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets based on listed market prices or dealer quotations where available. Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are recorded at cost less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Net gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, and impairment charges on equity securities are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). • Debt securities include preferred shares, time deposits, and fixed income securities, including U.S. government obligations, obligations of other government agencies, corporate debt, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and municipal and provincial notes and bonds. Debt securities are classified as trading, available-for-sale ("AFS"), or held-to-maturity ("HTM"). • Trading securities—recorded at fair value based on listed market prices or dealer price quotations, where available. Net gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, on trading securities are recognized in net gains (losses) and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts or other income (loss), net, depending on the nature of the investment, on our consolidated statements of income (loss). • AFS securities—recorded at fair value based on listed market prices or dealer price quotations, where available. Unrealized gains and losses on AFS debt securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheets. Realized gains and losses on AFS debt securities are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). AFS securities are assessed quarterly for expected credit losses which are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). In determining the reserve for credit losses, we evaluate AFS securities at the individual security level and consider our investment strategy, current market conditions, financial strength of the underlying investments, term to maturity, credit rating, and our intent and ability to sell the securities. • HTM securities—investments that we have the intent and ability to hold until maturity are recorded at amortized cost, net of expected credit losses. HTM securities are assessed for expected credit losses quarterly, and credit losses are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). We evaluate HTM securities individually when determining the reserve for credit losses due to the unique risks associated with each security. In determining the reserve for credit losses, we consider the financial strength of the underlying assets including the current and forecasted performance of the property, term to maturity, credit quality of the owner, and current market conditions. We classify debt securities as current or long-term, based on their contractual maturity dates and our intent and ability to hold the investment. Interest income on our preferred shares that earn a return is recognized in other income (loss), net. For additional information about debt and equity securities, see Note 4. Foreign Currency —The functional currency of our consolidated entities located outside the U.S. is generally the local currency. The assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the related gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in net income (loss) on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign exchange rate changes related to intercompany receivables and payables of a long-term nature are generally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign exchange rate movement related to intercompany receivables and payables that are not long-term are recognized in net income (loss) on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Financing Receivables —Financing receivables represent contractual rights to receive money either on demand or on fixed or determinable dates and are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of expected credit losses. We recognize interest as earned and include accrued interest in the amortized cost basis of the asset. Our financing receivables are composed of individual, unsecured loans and other types of unsecured financing arrangements provided to hotel owners. These financing receivables generally have stated maturities and interest rates, but the repayment terms vary and may be dependent on future cash flows of the hotel. We individually assess all financing receivables for credit losses quarterly and establish a reserve to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. We estimate credit losses based on an analysis of several factors, including current economic conditions, industry trends, and specific risk characteristics of the financing receivable, including capital structure, loan performance, market factors, and the underlying hotel performance. Adjustments to credit losses on financing receivables are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). We evaluate accrued interest allowances separately from the financing receivable assets. On an ongoing basis, we monitor the credit quality of our financing receivables based on historical and expected future payment activity. We determine our financing to hotel owners to be nonperforming if interest or principal is greater than 90 days past due based on the contractual terms of the individual financing receivables or if an allowance has been established for our other financing arrangements with that borrower. If we consider a financing receivable to be nonperforming, we place the financing receivable on nonaccrual status. For financing receivables on nonaccrual status, we recognize interest income in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) when cash is received. Accrual of interest income is resumed and potential reversal of any associated allowance for credit loss occurs when the receivable becomes contractually current and collection doubts are removed. After an allowance for credit losses has been established, we may determine the receivable balance is uncollectible when all commercially reasonable means of recovering the receivable balance have been exhausted. We write off uncollectible balances by reversing the financing receivable and the related allowance for credit losses. For additional information about financing receivables, see Note 6. Accounts Receivable —Our accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables due from guests for services rendered at our owned and leased properties and from hotel owners with whom we have management and franchise agreements for services rendered and for reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. We assess all accounts receivable for credit losses quarterly and establish a reserve to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is based on an assessment of historical collection activity, the nature of the receivable, geographic considerations, and the current business environment. The allowance for credit losses is recognized in owned and leased hotels expenses or selling, general, and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of income (loss), based on the nature of the receivable. For additional information about accounts receivable, see Note 6. Inventories —Inventories are comprised of operating supplies and equipment that have a period of consumption of two years or less and food and beverage items at our owned and leased hotels, which are generally valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Property and Equipment and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets —Property and equipment is stated at cost, including interest incurred during development and construction periods, less accumulated depreciation. Definite-lived intangible assets are recorded at the acquisition-date fair value, less accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily on the straight-line method. Property and equipment are depreciated over the following: Buildings and improvements 10–50 years Leasehold improvements The shorter of the lease term or useful life of asset Furniture and equipment 3–20 years Computers 3–7 years Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the following: Management and franchise agreement intangibles 4–30 years Advanced booking intangibles 1–3 years We assess property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment quarterly, and when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, we evaluate the net book value of the assets by comparing to the projected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. The principal factor used in the undiscounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment is the projected future operating cash flows, which are based on historical data, various internal estimates, and a variety of external resources, and are developed as part of our routine, long-term planning process. If the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the fair value is determined based on internally developed discounted c |

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] | |
Debt and Equity Securities | DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES We make investments in debt and equity securities that we believe are strategically and operationally important to our business. These investments take the form of (i) equity method investments where we have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity, (ii) marketable securities held to fund operating programs and for investment purposes, and (iii) other types of investments. Equity Method Investments Equity method investments were $260 million and $232 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are primarily recorded on our owned and leased hotels segment. The carrying values and ownership interests of our investments in unconsolidated hospitality ventures accounted for under the equity method are as follows: Investee Existing or future hotel property Ownership interest Carrying value December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Hyatt of Baja, S. de.

The fair values were determined to be Level Three fair value measures, and the impairments were deemed other-than-temporary. Marketable Securities We hold marketable securities with readily determinable fair values to fund certain operating programs and for investment purposes. We periodically transfer available cash and cash equivalents to purchase marketable securities for investment purposes. Marketable Securities Held to Fund Operating Programs —Marketable securities held to fund operating programs, which are recorded at fair value and included on our consolidated balance sheets, were as follows: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Loyalty program (Note 10) $ 567 $ 483 Deferred compensation plans held in rabbi trusts (Note 10 and Note 13) 511 450 Captive insurance company (Note 10) 226 180 Total marketable securities held to fund operating programs $ 1,304 $ 1,113 Less: current portion of marketable securities held to fund operating programs included in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and prepaids and other assets (238) (219) Marketable securities held to fund operating programs included in other assets $ 1,066 $ 894 Net realized and unrealized gains and interest income from marketable securities held to fund the loyalty program are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Loyalty program (Note 21) $ 29 $ 26 $ 4 Our loyalty program holds marketable securities, including $25 million and $0 of AFS debt securities at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which are invested in U.S. government agencies and obligations, asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and corporate debt securities and have contractual maturity dates ranging from 2021 through 2069. The fair value of our AFS debt securities approximates amortized cost. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts are recognized in net gains (losses) and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts on our consolidated statements of income (loss): Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Unrealized gains (losses) $ 24 $ 42 $ (45) Realized gains 36 20 34 Net gains (losses) and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts $ 60 $ 62 $ (11) Our captive insurance company holds marketable securities which include $70 million and $52 million of equity securities with a readily determinable fair value at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair value of the equity securities is classified as Level One in the fair value hierarchy as we are able to obtain market available pricing information. The remeasurement of our investment at fair value resulted in unrealized gains of $4 million and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which was recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) (see Note 21). Our captive insurance company also holds $57 million and $65 million of AFS debt securities at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which are invested in U.S. government agencies and obligations, time deposits, and corporate debt securities and have contractual maturity dates ranging from 2021 through 2025. The fair value of our AFS debt securities approximates amortized cost. Marketable Securities Held for Investment Purposes —Marketable securities held for investment purposes are recorded at cost or fair value, depending on the nature of the investment, and are included on our consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Time deposits (a) $ 657 $ 37 Interest-bearing money market funds (a) 107 147 Common shares of Playa N.V. (Note 10) 72 102 Total marketable securities held for investment purposes $ 836 $ 286 Less: current portion of marketable securities held for investment purposes included in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (764) (184) Marketable securities held for investment purposes included in other assets $ 72 $ 102 (a) A portion of proceeds from our Senior Notes issuances during the year ended December 31, 2020 were reinvested in interest-bearing money market funds and time deposits at December 31, 2020 (see Note 11). We hold common shares of Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. ("Playa N.V.") which are accounted for as an equity security with a readily determinable fair value as we do not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity. The fair value of the common shares is classified as Level One in the fair value hierarchy as we are able to obtain market available pricing information. The remeasurement of our investment at fair value resulted in $30 million of unrealized losses, $15 million of unrealized gains, and $44 million of unrealized losses for the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively, recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) (see Note 21). We did not sell any shares of common stock during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Other Investments HTM Debt Securities —At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we held $81 million and $58 million, respectively, of investments in HTM debt securities, net of allowances of $21 million and $0, respectively, which are investments in third-party entities that own or are developing certain of our hotels and are recorded within other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The securities are mandatorily redeemable between 2021 and 2027. We estimated the fair value of HTM debt securities to be approximately $100 million and $58 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The fair values, which are classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. The primary sensitivity in these models is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions could result in different estimates of fair value. Equity Securities Without a Readily Determinable Fair Value —At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $12 million and $7 million, respectively, of investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, which represent investments in entities where we do not have the ability to significantly influence the operations of the entity. Due to ongoing operating cash flow shortfalls in the business underlying an equity security during the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized a $22 million impairment charge for our full investment balance in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) (see Note 21) as the carrying value was in excess of the fair value. The fair value was determined to be a Level Three fair value measure. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the entity in which we held our investment disposed of its assets. Fair Value —We measured the following financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis: December 31, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents Short-term investments Prepaids and other assets Other assets Level One - Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Interest-bearing money market funds $ 327 $ 327 $ — $ — $ — Mutual funds 581 — — — 581 Common shares 72 — — — 72 Level Two - Significant Other Observable Inputs Time deposits 662 — 659 — 3 U.S. government obligations 208 — 3 — 205 U.S. government agencies 65 — — — 65 Corporate debt securities 159 — 13 — 146 Mortgage-backed securities 24 — — — 24 Asset-backed securities 35 — — — 35 Municipal and provincial notes and bonds 7 — — — 7 Total $ 2,140 $ 327 $ 675 $ — $ 1,138 December 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents Short-term investments Prepaids and other assets Other assets Level One - Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Interest-bearing money market funds $ 269 $ 269 $ — $ — $ — Mutual funds 502 — — — 502 Common shares 102 — — — 102 Level Two - Significant Other Observable Inputs Time deposits 47 — 41 — 6 U.S. government obligations 202 — 4 31 167 U.S. government agencies 50 — 3 6 41 Corporate debt securities 161 — 20 18 123 Mortgage-backed securities 23 — — 4 19 Asset-backed securities 39 — — 6 33 Municipal and provincial notes and bonds 4 — — 1 3 Total $ 1,399 $ 269 $ 68 $ 66 $ 996 During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. We do not have nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We invest a portion of our cash into short-term interest-bearing money market funds that have a maturity of less than 90 days. Consequently, the balances are recorded in cash and cash equivalents. The funds are held with open-ended registered investment companies, and the fair value of the funds is classified as Level One as we are able to obtain market available pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of our mutual funds is classified as Level One as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Time deposits are recorded at par value, which approximates fair value, and are classified as Level Two. The remaining securities are classified as Level Two due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs being considered in the final price of the security. Market inputs include quoted market prices from active markets for identical securities, quoted market prices for identical securities in inactive markets, and quoted market prices in active and inactive markets for similar securities. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions and Dispositions | ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS Acquisitions Two Roads Hospitality, LLC —During the year ended December 31, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Two Roads in a business combination for a purchase price of $405 million. The transaction also included potential additional consideration including (i) up to $96 million if the sellers completed specific actions with respect to certain of the acquired management agreements within 120 days from the date of acquisition and (ii) up to $8 million in the event of the execution of certain potential new management agreements related to the development of certain potential new deals previously identified and generated by the sellers or affiliates of the sellers within one year of the closing of the transaction. One of the sellers is indirectly owned by a limited partnership affiliated with the brother of our Executive Chairman. We closed on the transaction on November 30, 2018 and paid cash of $415 million, net of $37 million cash acquired. Cash paid at closing was inclusive of a $36 million payment of the aforementioned additional consideration and $4 million of other purchase price adjustments. Related to the $68 million of potential additional consideration, we recorded a $57 million contingent liability in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018, which represented our estimate of remaining expected consideration to be paid. Net assets acquired were determined as follows: Cash paid, net of cash acquired $ 415 Cash acquired 37 Contingent consideration liability 57 Net assets acquired at December 31, 2018 $ 509 Post-acquisition working capital adjustments (2) Net assets acquired at December 31, 2019 $ 507 As it relates to the $57 million contingent consideration liability recorded at December 31, 2018, of which $2 million and $3 million remained at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, the following occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019: • The sellers completed the aforementioned specific actions with respect to certain management agreements, and we paid $24 million of additional consideration to the sellers. • For those management agreements where the specific actions were not completed or payment is no longer probable, we released $30 million of the contingent liability to other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) during the year ended December 31, 2019 (see Note 21). The acquisition includes management and license agreements for operating and pipeline hotels primarily across North America and Asia under five hospitality brands. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were revised as we refined our analysis of contract terms and renewal assumptions, which affected the underlying cash flows in the valuation. This resulted in a $38 million reduction in intangibles, net with an offsetting increase in goodwill on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019. We finalized the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are classified as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy, during 2019. The fair values are based on information that was available as of the date of acquisition and estimated using discounted future cash flow models and relief from royalty method, including revenue projections based on the expected contract terms, renewal assumptions, and long-term growth rates, as well as the selection of discount rates. The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired: Cash $ 32 Receivables 20 Other current assets 2 Equity method investment 2 Property and equipment 2 Indefinite-lived intangibles (1) (5) 96 Management agreement intangibles (2) (5) 205 Goodwill (3) 199 Other assets (4) 25 Total assets $ 583 Advanced deposits (6) $ 20 Other current liabilities 23 Other long-term liabilities (4) 33 Total liabilities 76 Total net assets acquired $ 507 (1) Includes brand-related intangibles. (2) Amortized over useful lives of 1 to 19 years, with a weighted-average useful life of approximately 12 years. (3) The goodwill, of which $154 million is tax deductible, is attributable to the growth opportunities we expect to realize by expanding into new markets and enhancing guest experiences through these newly acquired lifestyle brands (see Note 9). (4) Includes $13 million of pre-acquisition liabilities relating to certain foreign filing positions, including $4 million of interest and penalties. We recorded an offsetting indemnification asset which we expect to collect under contractual arrangements. During the year ended December 31, 2020, $8 million of liabilities and offsetting assets were released as the statute of limitations expired (see Note 14). (5) See Note 9 for impairment discussion. (6) Included in contract liabilities (see Note 3).

The sale resulted in a $531 million pre-tax gain, which was recognized in gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other on our consolidated statements of income (loss) during the year ended December 31, 2018. The operating results and financial position of these hotels prior to the sale remain within our owned and leased hotels segment. Although we concluded the disposal of these properties does not qualify as discontinued operations, the disposal is considered to be material. Pre-tax net income attributable to the three properties was $15 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Land Held for Development —A wholly owned subsidiary held undeveloped land in Los Cabos, Mexico. During the year ended December 31, 2018, an unrelated third party invested in the subsidiary in exchange for a 50% ownership interest resulting in derecognition of the subsidiary and the recognition of an investment in an unconsolidated hospitality venture at fair value of $45 million. Like-Kind Exchange Agreements Periodically, we enter into like-kind exchange agreements upon the disposition or acquisition of certain properties. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the proceeds from the sales are placed into an escrow account administered by a qualified intermediary and are unavailable for our use until released. The proceeds are recorded as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets and released (i) if they are utilized as part of a like-kind exchange agreement, (ii) if we do not identify a suitable replacement property within 45 days after the agreement date, or (iii) when a like-kind exchange agreement is not completed within the remaining allowable time period. In conjunction with the sale of the property adjacent to Grand Hyatt San Francisco during the year ended December 31, 2019, $115 million of proceeds were held as restricted for use in a potential like-kind exchange . However, we did not acquire the identified replacement property within the specified 180 day period, and the proceeds were released during the year ended December 31, 2020. In conjunction with the sale of Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa during the year ended December 31, 2018, $221 million of proceeds were held as restricted for use in a potential like-kind exchange. During the year ended December 31, 2018, $198 million of these proceeds were utilized to acquire Hyatt Regency Phoenix and Hyatt Regency Indian Wells Resort & Spa and the remaining $23 million were released. |

Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually or quarterly. With the exception of the 2022 Notes, we may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at any time at 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed together with the accrued and unpaid interest, plus a make-whole amount, if any. The amount of any make-whole payment depends, in part, on the yield of U.S. Treasury securities with a comparable maturity to the Senior Notes at the date of redemption. The 2022 Notes will not be redeemable at our option at any time before the first anniversary of the issue date of the notes. At any time on or after the first anniversary of the issue date of the 2022 Notes, we may redeem some or all of the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. A summary of the terms of our outstanding Senior Notes, by year of issuance, is as follows: • In 2011, we issued $250 million of 5.375% senior notes due 2021, at an issue price of 99.846%. • In 2013, we issued $350 million of 3.375% senior notes due 2023, at an issue price of 99.498%. • In 2016, we issued $400 million of 4.850% senior notes due 2026, at an issue price of 99.920%. • In 2018, we issued $400 million of 4.375% senior notes due 2028, at an issue price of 99.866% (the "2028 Notes"). We received $396 million of net proceeds from the sale of the 2028 Notes, after deducting $4 million of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. We used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes to redeem the $250 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2019, at an issue price of 99.864% (the "2019 Notes"), and the remainder was used for general corporate purposes. • In 2020, we issued the 2022 Notes, the 2025 Notes, and the 2030 Notes. We received approximately $1,635 million of net proceeds from the sale, after deducting $15 million of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. We used a portion of the proceeds from these issuances to repay all outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility and settle the outstanding interest rate locks, and we intend to use the remainder for general corporate purposes. Debt Redemption —During the year ended December 31, 2018, we redeemed all of our outstanding 2019 Notes, of which there was $196 million of aggregate principal outstanding, at a redemption price of approximately $203 million, which was calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2019 Notes and included principal and accrued interest plus a make-whole premium. The $7 million loss on extinguishment of debt was recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) (see Note 21). Tax-Exempt Contract Revenue Empowerment Zone Bonds, Series 2005A and Contract Revenue Bonds, Senior Taxable Series 2005B —During the year ended December 31, 2013, we acquired our partner's interest in the entity that owned Grand Hyatt San Antonio, and as a result, we consolidated $198 million of bonds, net of the $9 million bond discount, which is being amortized over the life of the bonds. The construction was financed in part by The City of San Antonio, Texas Convention Center Hotel Finance Corporation ("Texas Corporation"), a non-profit local government corporation created by the City of San Antonio, Texas for the purpose of providing financing for a portion of the costs of constructing the hotel. On June 8, 2005, Texas Corporation issued $130 million of original principal amount Tax-Exempt Contract Revenue Empowerment Zone Bonds, Series 2005A ("Series 2005A Bonds") and $78 million of original principal amount Contract Revenue Bonds, Senior Taxable Series 2005B ("Series 2005B Bonds"). The Series 2005A Bonds mature between 2034 and 2039, with interest ranging from 4.75% to 5.00%, and the remaining Series 2005B Bonds mature between 2020 and 2028, with interest ranging from 5.1% to 5.31%. The loan payments are required to be funded solely from net operating revenues of Grand Hyatt San Antonio, and in the event that net operating revenues are not sufficient to pay debt service, Texas Corporation under certain circumstances will be required to provide certain tax revenue to pay debt service on the 2005 Series Bonds. The indenture allows for optional early redemption of the Series 2005B Bonds subject to make-whole payments at any time with consent from Texas Corporation and beginning in 2015 for the Series 2005A Bonds. Interest is payable semi-annually. Floating Average Rate Construction Loan —During the year ended December 31, 2012, we obtained a secured construction loan with Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social - BNDES ("BNDES") in order to develop Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro. The loan is split into four separate sub-loans, each with different interest rates. Sub-loans (a) and (b) mature in 2031 and sub-loans (c) and (d) mature in 2023. Borrowings under the four sub-loans bear interest at the following rates, depending on the applicable sub-loan: (a) and (b) the Brazilian Long Term Interest Rate - TJLP plus 2.02%, (c) 2.5%, and (d) the Brazilian Long Term Interest Rate - TJLP. On sub-loans (a), (b), and (d), when the TJLP rate exceeds 6%, the amount corresponding to the TJLP portion above 6% is required to be capitalized daily. At December 31, 2020, the weighted-average interest rates for the sub-loans we have drawn upon is 6.54%. The outstanding balance of the sub-loan subject to the interest rate described in (a) above is subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on BNDES's calculation of the weighted-average of exchange rate variations related to foreign currency funds raised by BNDES in foreign currency. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had Brazilian Real ("BRL") 193 million, or $37 million, and BRL 197 million, or $49 million, outstanding, respectively. Revolving Credit Facility —During the year ended December 31, 2020, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Revolver Amendment"). Terms of the Revolver Amendment include, but are not limited to, waivers on certain covenants and modifications to negative covenants and other terms, including the interest rate. The terms of the Revolver Amendment also restrict our ability to repurchase shares and pay dividends through the first quarter of 2021. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $400 million of borrowings and repayments on our revolving credit facility. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings was 1.71% and 3.47% at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no balance outstanding. At December 31, 2020, we had $1,499 million of borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facility, net of letters of credit outstanding. The Company had $234 million and $263 million of letters of credit issued through additional banks at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Fair Value —We estimated the fair value of debt, excluding finance leases, which consists of our Senior Notes, bonds, and other long-term debt. Our Senior Notes and bonds are classified as Level Two due to the use and weighting of multiple market inputs in the final price of the security. We estimated the fair value of other debt instruments using discounted cash flow analysis based on current market inputs for similar types of arrangements. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified our revolving credit facility and other debt instruments as Level Three. The primary sensitivity in these models is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in our assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value. December 31, 2020 Carrying value Fair value Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level One) Significant other observable inputs (Level Two) Significant unobservable inputs (Level Three) Debt (1) $ 3,261 $ 3,561 $ — $ 3,518 $ 43 (1) Excludes $9 million of finance lease obligations and $26 million of unamortized discounts and deferred financing fees. December 31, 2019 Carrying value Fair value Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level One) Significant other observable inputs (Level Two) Significant unobservable inputs (Level Three) Debt (2) $ 1,627 $ 1,740 $ — $ 1,680 $ 60 (2) Excludes $11 million of capital lease obligations and $15 million of unamortized discounts and deferred financing fees. Interest Rate Locks —At December 31, 2019, we had outstanding interest rate locks with $275 million in notional value and mandatory settlement dates in 2021. The interest rate locks hedged a portion of the risk of changes in the benchmark interest rate associated with long-term debt we anticipated issuing in the future. These derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges and deemed highly effective both at inception and upon settlement, as discussed below. Upon issuance of the 2030 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2020, we settled the interest rate locks for $61 million, which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. This loss is being amortized into interest expense on our consolidated statements of income (loss) over the term of the 2030 Notes, and resulted in $4 million of interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2020 (see Note 16). The settlement was reflected as a cash outflow from operating activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, as our policy is to classify cash flows from derivative instruments in the same category as the item being hedged. At December 31, 2019, we had $24 million related to these hedging instruments recorded in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. We estimated the fair values of interest rate locks, which were classified as Level Two in the fair value hierarchy, using discounted cash flow models. The primary sensitives in these models were the forward and discount curves. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefit Plans | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Defined Benefit Plans —We sponsor supplemental executive retirement plans consisting of funded and unfunded defined benefit plans for certain former executives. Retirement benefits are based primarily on the former employees' salary, as defined, and are payable upon satisfaction of certain service and age requirements as defined by the plans. The accumulated benefit obligation related to the unfunded U.S. plan was $23 million and $21 million, of which $22 million and $20 million was recorded as a long-term liability on our consolidated balance sheets, at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At December 31, 2020, we expect $1 million of benefits to be paid annually over the next 10 years. Defined Contribution Plans —We provide retirement benefits to certain eligible employees under the Retirement Savings Plan (a qualified plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k)), the FRP, and other similar plans. For the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we recognized $30 million, $48 million, and $41 million, respectively, of expenses related to the Retirement Savings Plan based on a percentage of eligible employee contributions on stipulated amounts. The majority of these contributions relate to hotel property-level employees, which are reimbursable to us, and are included in revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Deferred Compensation Plans —We provide nonqualified deferred compensation for certain employees through the DCP. Contributions and investment elections are determined by the employees, and we provide contributions to certain eligible employees according to pre-established formulas. The DCP is fully funded through a rabbi trust, therefore changes in the underlying securities impact the deferred compensation liability, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities (see Note 13) and the corresponding marketable securities assets, which are recorded in other assets (see Note 10) on our consolidated balance sheets. Employee Stock Purchase Program —We provide the ESPP, which is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP provides eligible employees the opportunity to purchase shares of the Company's common stock on a quarterly basis through payroll deductions at a price equal to 95% of the fair value on the last trading day of each quarter. We issued 75,763 shares and 79,700 shares under the ESPP during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. |

Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 U.S. income (loss) before tax $ (694) $ 466 $ 652 Foreign income (loss) before tax (266) 540 299 Income (loss) before income taxes $ (960) $ 1,006 $ 951 The provision (benefit) for income taxes is comprised of the following: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Current: Federal $ (209) $ 74 $ 140 State 8 35 50 Foreign 3 103 25 Total Current $ (198) $ 212 $ 215 Deferred: Federal $ (11) $ 29 $ (35) State (47) 2 (12) Foreign (1) (3) 14 Total Deferred $ (59) $ 28 $ (33) Total $ (257) $ 240 $ 182 On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The provisions include, but are not limited to, allowing net operating loss carrybacks, modifying the net interest deduction limitations, providing technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property, allowing refundable payroll tax credits, and deferring employer social security deposits. Specifically, net operating losses incurred in 2020 may be carried back to each of the preceding five years to offset prior year taxable income, generating a refund. This expected refund is recorded in prepaid income taxes on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a $30 million benefit related to the employee retention credit created under the CARES Act, of which $8 million was recognized as a reduction of owned and leased hotels expenses and $22 million was recognized as a reduction of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties on our consolidated statements of income (loss). The reduction of costs incurred on behalf of managed properties was offset by a reduction in revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties with no impact to net income (loss) on our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective tax rate: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Statutory U.S. federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % State income taxes—net of federal tax benefit 4.0 2.7 2.6 Impact of foreign operations (excluding unconsolidated hospitality ventures losses) (2.3) (2.0) (5.6) U.S. net operating loss carryback benefit at 35% 11.5 — — U.S. foreign tax credits (2.3) — (1.6) Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 deferred rate change — — (0.1) Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 deemed repatriation tax — — 0.3 Change in valuation allowances (1.6) 1.0 0.9 Foreign unconsolidated hospitality ventures (1.0) 0.5 0.9 Tax contingencies (2.1) 0.3 1.0 Other (0.4) 0.4 (0.3) Effective income tax rate 26.8 % 23.9 % 19.1 % Significant items affecting the 2020 effective tax rate include the impact of U.S. net operating losses that will be benefited at the 35% tax rate in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act and the state impact of U.S. operations. These benefits are offset by a $35 million valuation allowance recorded on foreign tax credit carryforwards and certain foreign net operating losses, which are not expected to be realized within the carryforward period, and the rate differential on foreign operations. Significant items affecting the 2019 effective tax rate include the state impact of U.S. operations and certain foreign net operating losses generated in the current year that are not expected to be utilized within the carryforward period. These expenses are offset by the benefits related to the rate differential on foreign operations, including a non-recurring benefit related to prior years recognized as a result of an agreement reached by the United States and Swiss tax authorities on Advanced Pricing Agreement terms covering tax years 2012 through 2021. Significant items affecting the 2018 effective tax rate include the decrease in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the low effective tax rate on the Hyatt Regency Mexico City transaction, and a $15 million release of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credits expected to be utilized within the allowed carryforward period. These benefits are partially offset by the impact of certain foreign net operating losses generated that are not expected to be utilized in the future. The components of the net deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are comprised of the following: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Deferred tax assets related to: Employee benefits $ 134 $ 134 Loyalty program 133 118 Long-term operating lease liabilities 98 103 Foreign and state net operating losses and credit carryforwards 118 50 Allowance for uncollectible assets 40 33 Investments 36 28 Unrealized losses 23 7 Interest and state benefits 5 3 Other 34 33 Valuation allowance (82) (41) Total deferred tax assets $ 539 $ 468 Deferred tax liabilities related to: Property and equipment $ (131) $ (152) Operating lease ROU assets (102) (105) Intangibles (61) (59) Investments (52) (36) Prepaid expenses (19) (9) Unrealized gains (3) (2) Other (12) (8) Total deferred tax liabilities $ (380) $ (371) Net deferred tax assets $ 159 $ 97 Recognized in the balance sheet as: Deferred tax assets—noncurrent $ 207 $ 144 Deferred tax liabilities—noncurrent (48) (47) Total $ 159 $ 97 During the year ended December 31, 2020, significant changes to our deferred tax balances include a $27 million increase in the deferred tax asset related to federal, state, and foreign net operating losses and credits, net of valuation allowance activity, and a $21 million decrease to the deferred tax liability related property and equipment from the sale of the property adjacent to Grand Hyatt San Francisco. At December 31, 2020, we have $90 million of deferred tax assets for future tax benefits related to foreign and state net operating losses and $28 million of benefits related to federal and state credits. Of these deferred tax assets, $75 million relates to net operating losses and federal and state credits that expire in 2021 through 2040. However, $43 million primarily relates to foreign net operating losses that have no expiration date and may be carried forward indefinitely. A valuation allowance of $82 million is recorded primarily for certain deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and credits that we do not believe are more likely than not to be realized. At December 31, 2020, we have $198 million of accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries, the majority of which have been subject to U.S. tax. Any additional taxes due with respect to such earnings or the excess of book basis over tax basis of our foreign investments would generally be limited to foreign withholding and/or U.S. state income taxes, which are not expected to be significant. We continue to assert that undistributed net earnings with respect to certain foreign subsidiaries that have not previously been taxed in the U.S. are indefinitely reinvested. At December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, total unrecognized tax benefits were $146 million, $125 million, and $116 million, respectively, of which $49 million, $36 million, and $15 million, respectively, would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that a reduction of up to $5 million of unrecognized tax benefits could occur within 12 months resulting from the expiration of certain tax statutes of limitations and tax settlements. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: 2020 2019 2018 Unrecognized tax benefits—beginning balance $ 125 $ 116 $ 94 Total increases—current-period tax positions 24 21 10 Total increases (decreases)—prior-period tax positions 3 (7) 18 Settlements — (3) (1) Lapse of statute of limitations (6) (3) (4) Foreign currency fluctuation — 1 (1) Unrecognized tax benefits—ending balance $ 146 $ 125 $ 116 In 2020, the $21 million net increase in uncertain tax positions is primarily related to an accrual for the U.S. treatment of the loyalty program. The change in the lapse of statute of limitations is related to local tax filing positions identified as a result of the acquisition of Two Roads (see Note 7). In 2019, the $9 million net increase in uncertain tax positions is primarily related to an accrual for the U.S. treatment of the loyalty program. The decrease in prior period tax positions primarily relates to the effective settlement of certain federal and state tax matters. In 2018, the $22 million net increase in uncertain tax positions is primarily related to an accrual for the U.S. treatment of the loyalty program. The increase in prior period tax positions relates to local tax filing positions identified as a result of the acquisition of Two Roads (see Note 7) and a state tax accrual related to filing positions taken on the 2017 state tax returns. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Total gross accrued interest and penalties were $26 million, $22 million, and $18 million at December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. The amount of interest and penalties recognized as a reduction of our income tax benefit in 2020 was $6 million, primarily related to federal, state, and foreign tax matters. The amount of interest and penalties recognized as a component of income tax expense in 2019 was $5 million, primarily related to federal, state, and foreign tax matters. The amount of interest and penalties recognized as a component of income tax expense in 2018 was insignificant. We are subject to audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. We are currently under field exam by the IRS for tax years 2015 through 2017. U.S. tax years 2009 through 2011 are before the U.S. Tax Court concerning the tax treatment of the loyalty program. Additionally, U.S. tax years 2012 through 2014 are pending the outcome of the issue currently in U.S. Tax Court. If the IRS' position to include loyalty program contributions as taxable income to the Company is upheld, it would result in an income tax payment of $199 million (including $56 million of estimated interest, net of federal tax benefit) for all assessed years that would be partially offset by a deferred tax asset. As future tax benefits will be recognized at the reduced U.S. corporate income tax rate, $76 million of the payment and related interest would have an impact on the effective tax rate, if recognized. We believe we have an adequate uncertain tax liability recorded in connection with this matter. We have several state audits pending, including in Illinois and Florida. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the return. However, the state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period generally up to one year after formal notification to the states of the federal changes. We also have several foreign audits pending. The statutes of limitations for the foreign jurisdictions ranges from three to ten years after filing the applicable tax return. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various commitments, guarantees, surety bonds, and letter of credit agreements. Commitments —At December 31, 2020, we are committed, under certain conditions, to lend or provide certain consideration to, or invest in, various business ventures up to $330 million, net of any related letters of credit. Performance Guarantees —Certain of our contractual agreements with third-party hotel owners require us to guarantee payments to the owners if specified levels of operating profit are not achieved by their hotels (see Note 2). At December 31, 2020, the remaining maximum exposure under our performance guarantees was $44 million. Our most significant performance guarantee, relating to four managed hotels in France, expired on April 30, 2020. We had $16 million and $33 million of total net performance guarantee liabilities at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which included $6 million and $14 million recorded in other long-term liabilities and $10 million and $19 million recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, respectively. Four managed hotels in France Other performance guarantees All performance guarantees 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 Beginning balance, January 1 $ 20 $ 36 $ 13 $ 11 $ 33 $ 47 Initial guarantee obligation liability — — — 7 — 7 Amortization of initial guarantee obligation liability into income (4) (15) (4) (3) (8) (18) Performance guarantee expense, net 26 37 31 5 57 42 Net payments during the year (43) (37) (24) (7) (67) (44) Foreign currency exchange, net 1 (1) — — 1 (1) Ending balance, December 31 $ — $ 20 $ 16 $ 13 $ 16 $ 33 Additionally, we enter into certain management contracts where we have the right, but not an obligation, to make payments to certain hotel owners if their hotels do not achieve specified levels of operating profit. If we choose not to fund the shortfall, the hotel owner has the option to terminate the management contract. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $3 million and $0, respectively, recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets related to these performance cure payments. Debt Repayment and Other Guarantees —We enter into various debt repayment and other guarantees in order to assist hotel owners and unconsolidated hospitality ventures in obtaining third-party financing or to obtain more favorable borrowing terms. Property description Maximum potential future payments Maximum exposure net of recoverability from third parties Other long-term liabilities recorded at December 31, 2020 Other long-term liabilities recorded at December 31, 2019 Year of guarantee expiration Hotel properties in India (1) $ 170 $ 170 $ — $ 5 2021 Hotel property in Brazil (2) 76 38 2 3 2023 Hotel properties in Tennessee (2) 56 26 8 8 various, through 2024 Hotel properties in California (2) 38 15 2 3 2021 Hotel property in Massachusetts (2) (4) 27 14 4 6 various, through 2022 Hotel property in Pennsylvania (2) (4) 27 11 1 — various, through 2023 Hotel properties in Georgia (2) 27 13 4 2 various, through 2024 Hotel property in Oregon (2) 21 8 1 3 2022 Other (2) (3) (5) 21 8 3 2 various, through 2025 Total $ 463 $ 303 $ 25 $ 32 (1) Debt repayment guarantee is denominated in Indian rupees and translated using exchange rates at December 31, 2020. We have the contractual right to recover amounts funded from an unconsolidated hospitality venture, which is a related party. We expect our maximum exposure to be $85 million, taking into account our partner's 50% ownership interest in the unconsolidated hospitality venture. Under certain events or conditions, we have the right to force the sale of the properties in order to recover amounts funded. (2) We have agreements with our unconsolidated hospitality venture partners, the respective hotel owners, or other third parties to recover certain amounts funded under the debt repayment guarantee; the recoverability mechanism may be in the form of cash, financing receivable, or HTM debt security. (3) If certain funding thresholds are met or if certain events occur, we have the ability to assume control of the property. (4) In conjunction with the debt repayment guarantees, we are subject to completion guarantees whereby the parties agree to substantially complete the construction of the project by a specified date. In the event of default, we are obligated to complete construction using the funds available from the outstanding loan. Any additional funds paid by us are subject to partial recovery in the form of cash. At December 31, 2020, the maximum potential future payments and the maximum exposure net of recoverability from third parties are insignificant. (5) At December 31, 2019, other-long term liabilities included a debt repayment guarantee for a residential property in Brazil. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a $14 million credit loss related to the debt repayment guarantee, and we subsequently purchased the debt from the lender and were released from the guarantee. We recorded the $14 million loan as a financing receivable on our consolidated balance sheet (see Note 6) and is reserved in full. At December 31, 2020, we are not aware of, nor have we received notification that our unconsolidated hospitality ventures or hotel owners are not current on their debt service obligations where we have provided a debt repayment guarantee. Guarantee Liabilities Fair Value —We estimated the fair value of our guarantees to be $66 million and $62 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Based on the lack of available market data, we have classified our guarantees as Level Three in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 2). Insurance —We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, employment practices, crime, property, cyber risk, and other miscellaneous coverages. A portion of the risk is retained on a self-insurance basis primarily through a U.S.-based and licensed captive insurance company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyatt and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid within 12 months are $37 million and $41 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Reserves for losses in our captive insurance company to be paid in future periods are $67 million and $80 million at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are recorded in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Collective Bargaining Agreements —At December 31, 2020, approximately 25% of our U.S.-based employees were covered by various collective bargaining agreements, generally providing for basic pay rates, working hours, other conditions of employment, and orderly settlement of labor disputes. Certain employees are covered by union-sponsored, multi-employer pension and health plans pursuant to agreements between us and various unions. Generally, labor relations have been maintained in a normal and satisfactory manner, and we believe our employee relations are good. Surety Bonds —Surety bonds issued on our behalf were $49 million at December 31, 2020 and primarily relate to workers' compensation, taxes, licenses, construction liens, and utilities related to our lodging operations. Letters of Credit —Letters of credit outstanding on our behalf at December 31, 2020 were $235 million, which relate to our ongoing operations, hotel properties under development in the U.S., collateral for estimated insurance claims, and securitization of our performance under our debt repayment guarantee associated with the hotel properties in India, which is only called on if we default on our guarantee. Of the letters of credit outstanding, $1 million reduces the available capacity under our revolving credit facility (see Note 11). Capital Expenditures —As part of our ongoing business operations, expenditures are required to complete renovation projects that have been approved. Other— We act as general partner of various partnerships owning hotel properties that are subject to mortgage indebtedness. These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender's recourse to security interests in assets financed and/or other assets of the partnership(s) and/or the general partner(s) thereof. In conjunction with financing obtained for our unconsolidated hospitality ventures and certain managed hotels, we may provide standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability, or damage occurring as a result of our actions or actions of the other unconsolidated hospitality venture partners or respective hotel owners. As a result of certain dispositions, we have agreed to provide customary indemnifications to third-party purchasers for certain liabilities incurred prior to sale and for breach of certain representations and warranties made during the sales process, such as representations of valid title, authority, and environmental issues that may not be limited by a contractual monetary amount. These indemnification agreements survive until the applicable statutes of limitation expire or until the agreed upon contract terms expire. We are subject, from time to time, to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined at this point, based on information currently available, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received a notice from the Indian tax authorities assessing additional service tax on our operations in India. We appealed this decision and do not believe a loss is probable, and therefore, we have not recorded a liability in connection with this matter. At December 31, 2020, our maximum exposure is not expected to exceed $18 million. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity and Comprehensive Loss | STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND COMPREHENSIVE LOSS Common Stock— At December 31, 2020, Pritzker family business interests beneficially owned, in the aggregate, approximately 96.3% of our Class B common stock and approximately 0.3% of our Class A common stock, representing approximately 59.1% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and approximately 90.6% of the total voting power of our outstanding common stock. As a result, consistent with the voting agreements contained in the Amended and Restated Global Hyatt Agreement and Amended and Restated Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement, Pritzker family business interests are able to exert a significant degree of influence or actual control over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and other significant corporate transactions. While the voting agreements are in effect, they may provide our board of directors with effective control over matters requiring stockholder approval. Because of our dual class ownership structure, Pritzker family business interests will continue to exert a significant degree of influence or actual control over matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own less than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Global Hyatt Agreement and Amended and Restated Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement, the Pritzker family business interests have agreed to certain voting agreements and to certain limitations with respect to the sale of shares of our common stock. In addition, other stockholders beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 3.7% of our outstanding Class B common stock representing approximately 2.2% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and approximately 3.4% of the total voting power of our outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the 2007 Stockholders' Agreement, these entities have also agreed to certain voting agreements and to certain limitations with respect to the sale of shares of our common stock. Share Repurchase —During 2019 and 2018, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $750 million and $750 million, respectively, of our common stock. These repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan or an accelerated share repurchase transaction, at prices we deem appropriate and subject to market conditions, applicable law, and other factors deemed relevant in our sole discretion. The common stock repurchase program applies to our Class A and Class B common stock. The common stock repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 (1) Total number of shares repurchased 827,643 5,621,281 12,723,895 Weighted-average price per share $ 84.08 $ 74.85 $ 75.68 Aggregate purchase price (2) $ 69 $ 421 $ 966 Shares repurchased as a percentage of total common stock outstanding (3) 1% 5% 11% (1) Includes the settlement of the May 2018 and November 2018 ASRs, as well as 244,260 shares related to the 2018 settlement of the November 2017 ASR. The aggregate purchase price includes $20 million of shares delivered in the settlement of the November 2017 ASR in 2018, for which payment was made during 2017. (2) Excludes related insignificant expenses. (3) Calculated based on the total common stock outstanding as of December 31 of the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we entered into the following ASR programs with third-party financial institutions to repurchase Class A shares: Total number of shares repurchased (1) Weighted-average price per share Total cash paid May 2018 2,481,341 $ 80.60 $ 200 November 2018 2,575,095 69.90 180 (1) The delivery of shares resulted in a reduction in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share (see Note 20). The shares of Class A common stock repurchased on the open market were retired and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares, while the shares of Class B common stock repurchased were retired and the total number of authorized Class B shares was reduced by the number of shares retired (see Note 18). At December 31, 2020, we had $928 million remaining under the share repurchase authorization.

Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION As part of our LTIP, we award SARs, RSUs, and PSUs to certain employees and non-employee directors (see Note 2). In addition, non-employee directors may elect to receive their annual fees and/or annual equity retainers in the form of shares of our Class A common stock. Under the LTIP, we are authorized to issue up t o 22,375,000 s hares. Compensation expense and unearned compensation presented below exclude amounts related to employees of our managed hotels and other employees whose payroll is reimbursed, as this expense has been and will continue to be reimbursed by our third-party hotel owners and is recognized within revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Stock-based compensation expense included in selling, general, and administration expenses on our consolidated statements of income (loss) related to these awards was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 SARs $ 11 $ 11 $ 10 RSUs 19 17 15 PSUs (6) 6 4 Other — 1 — Total $ 24 $ 35 $ 29 The year ended December 31, 2020 includes a reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense based on our current assessment of the expected achievement relative to the applicable performance targets related to certain PSU awards.

The fair value of each SAR was estimated based on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: 2020 2019 2018 Exercise price $ 48.66 $ 71.67 $ 80.12 Expected life in years 6.24 6.25 6.24 Risk-free interest rate 0.66 % 2.40 % 2.79 % Expected volatility 22.92 % 22.51 % 22.97 % Annual dividend yield 1.64 % 1.06 % 0.75 % Due to a lack of historical exercise activity, the expected life was estimated based on the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual life of each SAR. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury instruments with similar expected life. We calculate volatility using our trading history over a time period consistent with our expected term assumption. The dividend yield assumption is based on the expected annualized dividend payment at the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the intrinsic value of exercised SARs was $14 million, $16 million, and $7 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of SARs outstanding at December 31, 2020 was $93 million, and the total intrinsic value for exercisable SARs was $57 million at December 31, 2020.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related-Party Transactions | RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS In addition to those included elsewhere in the Notes to our consolidated financial statements, related-party transactions entered into by us are summarized as follows: Legal Services —A partner in a law firm that provided services to us throughout 2020, 2019, and 2018 is the brother-in-law of our Executive Chairman. We incurred $7 million, $6 million, and $6 million of legal fees with this firm for the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. At both December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had insignificant amounts due to the law firm. Equity Method Investments —We have equity method investments in entities that own, operate, manage, or franchise properties for which we receive management, franchise, or license fees. We recognized $6 million, $22 million, and $20 million of fees for the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, respectively. In addition, in some cases we provide loans (see Note 6) or guarantees (see Note 15) to these entities. During the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we recognized $3 million, $4 million, and $7 million, respectively, of income related to these guarantees. At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $15 million and $17 million of receivables due from these properties, respectively. Our ownership interest in these unconsolidated hospitality ventures varies from 24% to 50%. See Note 4 for further details regarding these investments. Other Services —The brother of our Executive Chairman is affiliated with a limited partnership which has ownership interests in hotels from which we recognized $2 million and $7 million of management and franchise fees during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At both December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had insignificant receivables due from these properties.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment and Geographic Information | SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION Our reportable segments are components of the business which are managed discretely and for which discrete financial information is reviewed regularly by the CODM to assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Effective January 1, 2020, we changed the strategic and operational oversight for our Miraval properties, which were previously evaluated as a distinct business by our CODM. The management fees from Miraval properties are now reported in the Americas management and franchising segment, and the operating results and financial position of underlying hotel results are now reported in our owned and leased hotels segment; the results of Miraval properties were previously reported in corporate and other. In addition, the license fees we receive from Hyatt Residence Club are now reported within our Americas management and franchising segment due to changes in the strategic oversight for these license agreements. The segment changes have been reflected retrospectively to the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We define our reportable segments as follows: • Owned and leased hotels —This segment derives its earnings from owned and leased hotel properties located predominantly in the United States but also in certain international locations and for purposes of segment Adjusted EBITDA, includes our pro rata share of the Adjusted EBITDA of our unconsolidated hospitality ventures, based on our ownership percentage of each venture. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany expenses related to management fees paid to the Company's management and franchising segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues relate to promotional award redemptions earned by our owned and leased hotels related to our co-branded credit card program and are eliminated in consolidation. • Americas management and franchising —This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in the United States, Latin America, Canada, and the Caribbean as well as revenues from residential management operations. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to payroll at managed properties where the Company is the employer, as well as system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation. • ASPAC management and franchising —This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Southeast Asia, Greater China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and Micronesia. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned hotel, which was sold during the year ended December 31, 2019, and are eliminated in consolidation. • EAME/SW Asia management and franchising —This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Central Asia, and Nepal. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation. Our CODM evaluates performance based on owned and leased hotels revenues, management, franchise, and other fees revenues, and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures Adjusted EBITDA based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude interest expense; benefit (provision) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; Contra revenue; revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties; costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term; equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; stock-based compensation expense; gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other; asset impairments; and other income (loss), net. The table below shows summarized consolidated financial information by segment. Included within corporate and other are the results of the Exhale spa and fitness business, which was sold during the year ended December 31, 2020, results related to our co-branded credit card program, and unallocated corporate expenses.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2020 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation —Our consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of Hyatt Hotels Corporation and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates —We are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying Notes. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent risk and uncertainty due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and actual results could differ materially from our estimated amounts. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications —Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition —Our revenues are primarily derived from the products and services provided to our customers and generally recognized when control of the product or service has transferred to the customer. Our customers include third-party hotel owners and franchisees, guests at owned and leased hotels, a third-party partner through our co-branded credit card program, and owners and guests of the condominium ownership units. A summary of our revenue streams is as follows: • Owned and leased hotels revenues —Owned and leased hotels revenues are derived from room rentals and services provided at our owned and leased hotels. We present revenues net of sales, occupancy, and other taxes. Taxes collected on behalf of and remitted to governmental taxing authorities are excluded from the transaction price of the underlying products and services. • Management, franchise, and other fees —Management fees primarily consist of a base fee, which is generally calculated as a percentage of gross revenues, and an incentive fee, which is generally computed based on a hotel profitability measure. Included within the management fees are royalty fees that we earn in exchange for providing access to Hyatt's intellectual property ("IP"). Franchise fees consist of an initial fee and ongoing royalty fees computed as a percentage of gross room revenues and as applicable, food and beverage revenues. Other fees include license fee revenues associated with the licensing of the Hyatt brand names through our co-branded credit card program and sales of our branded residential ownership units as well as termination fees. • Net management, franchise, and other fees —Management, franchise, and other fees are reduced by the amortization of management and franchise agreement assets and performance cure payments, which constitute payments to customers. Consideration provided to customers related to management and franchise agreement assets is recorded in other assets and amortized to Contra revenue over the expected customer life, which is typically the initial term of the management or franchise agreement. • Other revenues —Other revenues include revenues from our residential management operations for our condominium ownership units, the sale of promotional awards through our co-branded credit card program, and spa and fitness revenues from Exhale, which was sold during the year ended December 31, 2020 (see Note 7). • Revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties —Revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties represent the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of the owners of properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to payroll at managed properties where the Company is the employer, as well as system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The products and services we offer to our customers are comprised of the following performance obligations: Management and franchise agreements • License to Hyatt's IP, including the Hyatt brand names —We receive variable consideration from third-party hotel owners in exchange for providing access to our IP, including the Hyatt brand names. The license represents a license of symbolic IP and in exchange for providing the license, Hyatt receives sales-based royalty fees. Fees are generally payable on a monthly basis as the third-party hotel owners and franchisees derive value from access to our IP. Royalty fees are recognized over time as services are rendered. Under our franchise agreements, we also receive initial fees from third-party hotel owners and franchisees. The initial fees do not represent a distinct performance obligation, and therefore, are combined with the royalty fees and deferred and recognized through management, franchise, and other fees over the expected customer life, which is typically the initial term of the franchise agreement. • System-wide services —We provide system-wide services on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The promise to provide system-wide services is not a distinct performance obligation because it is attendant to the license of our IP. Therefore, this promise is combined with the license of our IP to form a single performance obligation. We have two accounting models depending on the terms of the agreements: • Cost reimbursement model —Hotel owners and franchisees are required to reimburse us for all costs incurred to operate the system-wide programs with no added margin. The reimbursements are recognized over time within revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. We have discretion over how we spend program revenues, and therefore, we are the principal. Expenses incurred related to the system-wide programs are recognized within costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. The reimbursement of system-wide services is billed monthly based on an annual estimate of costs to be incurred and recognized as revenue commensurate with incurring the cost. Any amounts collected and not yet recognized as revenues are deferred and classified as contract liabilities. Any costs incurred in excess of revenues collected are classified as receivables to the extent we expect to recover the costs over the long term. • Fund model —Hotel owners and franchisees are invoiced a system-wide assessment fee primarily based on a percentage of hotel revenues on a monthly basis. We recognize the revenues over time as services are provided through revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. We have discretion over how we spend program revenues, and therefore, we are the principal. Expenses related to the system-wide programs are recognized as incurred through costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. Over time, we intend to manage the system-wide programs to break-even and not earn a profit on these services, but the timing of the revenue received from the owners may not align with the timing of the expenses to operate the programs. Therefore, the difference between the revenues and expenses will impact our net income (loss). • Hotel management agreement services —Under the terms of our management agreements, we provide hotel management agreement services, which form a single performance obligation that qualifies as a series. In exchange, we receive variable consideration in the form of management fees which are comprised of base and/or incentive fees. Incentive fees are typically subject to the achievement of certain profitability targets, and therefore, we apply judgment in determining the amount of incentive fees recognized each period. Incentive fees revenue is recognized to the extent it is probable that we will not reverse a significant portion of the fees in a subsequent period. We rely on internal financial forecasts and historical trends to estimate the amount of incentive fees revenue recognized and the probability that incentive fees will reverse in the future. Generally, base management fees are due and payable on a monthly basis as services are provided, and incentive fees are due and payable based on the terms of the agreement, but at a minimum, incentive fees are billed and collected annually. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered. Under the terms of certain management agreements, primarily within the U.S., we are the employer of hotel employees. When we are the employer, we are reimbursed for costs incurred related to the employee management services with no added margin, and the reimbursements are recognized over time as services are rendered within revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. In jurisdictions in which we are the employer, we have discretion over how employee management services are provided, and therefore, we are the principal. • Loyalty program administration —We administer the loyalty program for the benefit of Hyatt's portfolio of properties during the period of their participation in the loyalty program. Under the program, members earn points based on their spend at our properties, by transacting with our strategic loyalty alliances, or in connection with spend on a Hyatt co-branded credit card, which may be redeemed for the right to stay at participating properties, as well as for other goods and services from third parties. Points earned by loyalty program members represent a material right to free or discounted goods or services in the future. The loyalty program has one performance obligation that consists of marketing and managing the program and arranging for award redemptions by members. These two promises are not distinct because the promise to market and manage the program does not benefit the customer without the related arrangement for award redemptions. The costs of administering the loyalty program are charged to the properties through an assessment fee based on members' qualified expenditures. The assessment fee is billed and collected monthly, and the revenue received by the program is deferred until a member redeems points. Upon redemption of points at managed and franchised properties, we recognize the previously deferred revenue through revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties, net of redemption expense paid to managed and franchised hotels. We are responsible for arranging for the redemption of promotional awards, but we do not directly fulfill the award night obligation except at owned and leased hotels. Therefore, we are the agent with respect to this performance obligation for managed and franchised hotels, and we are the principal with respect to owned and leased hotels. A portion of our owned and leased hotels revenues is deferred upon initial stay as points are earned by program members at owned or leased hotels, and revenues are recognized upon redemption at owned or leased hotels. We actuarially determine the amount to recognize as revenue based on statistical formulas that estimate the timing of future point redemptions based on historical experience. The revenue recognized each period includes an estimate of the loyalty points that will eventually be redeemed and includes an estimate of breakage for the loyalty points that will not be redeemed. Determining breakage involves significant judgment, and we engage third-party actuaries to estimate the ultimate redemption ratios used in the breakage calculations and the amount of revenue recognized upon redemption. Changes to the expected ultimate redemption assumptions are reflected in the current period. Any revenues in excess of the anticipated future redemptions are used to fund the other operational expenses of the program. Room rentals and other services provided at owned and leased hotels We provide room rentals and other services to our guests, including but not limited to spa, laundry, and parking. These products and services each represent individual performance obligations, and in exchange for these services, we receive fixed amounts based on published rates or negotiated contracts. Payment is due in full at the time the services are rendered or the goods are provided. If a guest enters into a package including multiple goods or services, the fixed price is allocated to each distinct good or service based on the standalone selling price for each item. Revenue is recognized over time when we transfer control of the good or service to the customer. Room rental revenue is recognized on a daily basis as the guest occupies the room, and revenue related to other products and services is recognized when the product or service is provided to the guest. Hotels commonly enter into arrangements with online travel agencies, trade associations, and other entities. As part of these arrangements, Hyatt may pay the other party a commission or rebate based on the revenue generated through that channel. The determination of whether to recognize revenues gross or net of rebates and commissions is made based on the terms of each contract. Residential management operations We provide residential management services pursuant to rental management agreements with individual property owners and/or homeowner associations whereby the property owners and/or homeowner associations participate in our rental program. The services provided include reservations, housekeeping, security, and concierge assistance to guests in exchange for a variable fee based on a revenue sharing agreement with the owner of the condominium ownership unit. The services represent an individual performance obligation. Revenue is recognized over time as services are rendered or upon completion of the guest's stay at the condominium ownership unit. We are responsible for establishing pricing as well as fulfilling the services during the guest's stay, and as a result, we are deemed to be the principal in the transaction. Co-branded credit card program We have a co-branded credit card agreement with a third party and under the terms of the agreement, we have various performance obligations: granting a license to the Hyatt name, arranging for the fulfillment of points issued to cardholders through the loyalty program, and awarding cardholders with free room nights upon achievement of certain program milestones. The loyalty points and free room nights represent material rights that can be redeemed for free or discounted services in the future. In exchange for the products and services provided, we receive fixed and variable consideration which is allocated between the performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling prices. Significant judgment is involved in determining the relative standalone selling prices, and therefore, we engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist us. We utilize a relief from royalty method to determine the revenue allocated to the license which is recognized over time as the licensee derives value from access to Hyatt's brand name. We utilize observable transaction prices and adjusted market assumptions to determine the standalone selling price of a loyalty point, and we utilize a cost plus margin approach to determine the standalone selling price of the free room nights. The revenues allocated to loyalty program points and free night awards are deferred and recognized upon redemption or expiration of a card member's promotional awards which is recognized net of redemption expense when we are the agent. We are responsible for arranging for the redemption of promotional awards, but we do not directly fulfill the award night obligation except at owned and leased hotels. Therefore, we are the agent for managed and franchised hotels, and we are the principal with respect to owned and leased hotels. We satisfy the following performance obligations over time: the license of Hyatt's symbolic IP, hotel management agreement services, administration of the loyalty program, and the license to our brand name through our co-branded credit card agreement. Each of these performance obligations is considered a sales-based royalty or a series of distinct services, and although the activities to fulfill each of these promises may vary from day to day, the nature of each promise is the same and the customer benefits from the services every day. For each performance obligation satisfied over time, we recognize revenue using an output method based on the value transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the transaction price and the observable outputs related to each performance obligation. We deem the following to represent our progress in satisfying these performance obligations: • revenues and operating profits earned by the hotels during the reporting period for access to Hyatt's IP, as it is indicative of the value third-party hotel owners and franchisees derive; • revenues and operating profits of the hotels for the promise to provide management agreement services to the hotels; • award night redemptions or point redemptions with third-party partners for the administration of the loyalty program performance obligation; and • cardholder spend for the license to the Hyatt name through our co-branded credit card program, as it is indicative of the value our partner derives from the use of our name. Within our management agreements, we have two performance obligations: providing a license to Hyatt's IP and providing management agreement services. Although these constitute two separate performance obligations, both obligations represent services that are satisfied over time, and Hyatt recognizes revenue using an output method based on the performance of the hotel. Therefore, we have not allocated the transaction price between these two performance obligations as the allocation would result in the same pattern of revenue recognition. Revenue is adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. We have applied the practical expedient that permits the omission of prior-period information about revenue allocated to future performance obligations. We do not estimate revenues allocated to remaining performance obligations for the following: • Deferred revenue related to the loyalty program and revenue from base and incentive management fees as the revenue is allocated to a wholly unperformed performance obligation in a series; • Revenues related to royalty fees as they are considered sales-based royalty fees; • Revenues received for free nights granted through our co-branded credit card program as the awards have an original duration of 12 months; and • Revenues related to advanced bookings at owned and leased hotels as each stay has a duration of 12 months or less. Contract Balances —Our payments from customers are based on the billing terms established in our contracts. Customer billings are recorded as accounts receivable when our right to consideration is unconditional. If our right to consideration is conditional on future performance under the contract, the balance is recorded as a contract asset. Due to certain profitability hurdles in our management agreements, incentive fees are considered contract assets until the risk related to the achievement of the profitability metric no longer exists. Once the profitability hurdle has been met, the incentive fee receivable balance will be recorded in accounts receivable. Contract assets are recorded in receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Payments received in advance of performance under the contract are recorded as current or long-term contract liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and recognized as revenue as we perform under the contract. Loyalty Program —The loyalty program is funded through contributions from participating properties and third-party loyalty alliances based on eligible revenues from loyalty program members and returns on marketable securities. The funds are used for the redemption of member awards and payment of operating expenses. Operating costs are expensed as incurred through costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents —We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash —Restricted cash generally represents sales proceeds pursuant to like-kind exchanges, debt service on bonds, escrow deposits, and other arrangements. |
Equity Method Investments | Equity Method Investments —We have investments in unconsolidated hospitality ventures accounted for under the equity method. These investments are an integral part of our business and strategically and operationally important to our overall results. When we receive a distribution from an investment, we determine whether it is a return on our investment or a return of our investment based on the underlying nature of the distribution. Certain of our equity method investments are reported on a lag of up to three months. When intervening events occur during the time lag, we recognize the impact in our consolidated financial statements. We assess investments in unconsolidated hospitality ventures for impairment quarterly, and when there is an indication that a loss in value has occurred, we evaluate the carrying value in comparison to the estimated fair value of the investment. Fair value is based on internally developed discounted cash flow models, third-party appraisals, and if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. Under the discounted cash flow approach, we utilize various assumptions requiring judgment, including projected future cash flows, discount rates, and capitalization rates. Our estimates of projected future cash flows are based on historical data, various internal estimates, and a variety of external sources, and are developed as part of our routine, long-term planning process. |
Debt and Equity Securities | Debt and Equity Securities —Excluding equity method investments, debt and equity securities consist of various investments: • Equity securities consist of interest-bearing money market funds, mutual funds, common shares, and preferred shares. Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets based on listed market prices or dealer quotations where available. Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are recorded at cost less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Net gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, and impairment charges on equity securities are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). • Debt securities include preferred shares, time deposits, and fixed income securities, including U.S. government obligations, obligations of other government agencies, corporate debt, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and municipal and provincial notes and bonds. Debt securities are classified as trading, available-for-sale ("AFS"), or held-to-maturity ("HTM"). • Trading securities—recorded at fair value based on listed market prices or dealer price quotations, where available. Net gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, on trading securities are recognized in net gains (losses) and interest income from marketable securities held to fund rabbi trusts or other income (loss), net, depending on the nature of the investment, on our consolidated statements of income (loss). • AFS securities—recorded at fair value based on listed market prices or dealer price quotations, where available. Unrealized gains and losses on AFS debt securities are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheets. Realized gains and losses on AFS debt securities are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). AFS securities are assessed quarterly for expected credit losses which are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). In determining the reserve for credit losses, we evaluate AFS securities at the individual security level and consider our investment strategy, current market conditions, financial strength of the underlying investments, term to maturity, credit rating, and our intent and ability to sell the securities. • HTM securities—investments that we have the intent and ability to hold until maturity are recorded at amortized cost, net of expected credit losses. HTM securities are assessed for expected credit losses quarterly, and credit losses are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). We evaluate HTM securities individually when determining the reserve for credit losses due to the unique risks associated with each security. In determining the reserve for credit losses, we consider the financial strength of the underlying assets including the current and forecasted performance of the property, term to maturity, credit quality of the owner, and current market conditions. We classify debt securities as current or long-term, based on their contractual maturity dates and our intent and ability to hold the investment. Interest income on our preferred shares that earn a return is recognized in other income (loss), net. For additional information about debt and equity securities, see Note 4. |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency —The functional currency of our consolidated entities located outside the U.S. is generally the local currency. The assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and the related gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized in net income (loss) on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign exchange rate changes related to intercompany receivables and payables of a long-term nature are generally recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign exchange rate movement related to intercompany receivables and payables that are not long-term are recognized in net income (loss) on our consolidated statements of income (loss). |
Financing Receivables | Financing Receivables —Financing receivables represent contractual rights to receive money either on demand or on fixed or determinable dates and are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of expected credit losses. We recognize interest as earned and include accrued interest in the amortized cost basis of the asset. Our financing receivables are composed of individual, unsecured loans and other types of unsecured financing arrangements provided to hotel owners. These financing receivables generally have stated maturities and interest rates, but the repayment terms vary and may be dependent on future cash flows of the hotel. We individually assess all financing receivables for credit losses quarterly and establish a reserve to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. We estimate credit losses based on an analysis of several factors, including current economic conditions, industry trends, and specific risk characteristics of the financing receivable, including capital structure, loan performance, market factors, and the underlying hotel performance. Adjustments to credit losses on financing receivables are recognized in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). |
Financing Receivables - Non-performing Loans | We evaluate accrued interest allowances separately from the financing receivable assets. On an ongoing basis, we monitor the credit quality of our financing receivables based on historical and expected future payment activity. We determine our financing to hotel owners to be nonperforming if interest or principal is greater than 90 days past due based on the contractual terms of the individual financing receivables or if an allowance has been established for our other financing arrangements with that borrower. |
Financing Receivables - Non-accrual Status | If we consider a financing receivable to be nonperforming, we place the financing receivable on nonaccrual status.For financing receivables on nonaccrual status, we recognize interest income in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss) when cash is received. Accrual of interest income is resumed and potential reversal of any associated allowance for credit loss occurs when the receivable becomes contractually current and collection doubts are removed. |
Financing Receivables - Impaired Loans | After an allowance for credit losses has been established, we may determine the receivable balance is uncollectible when all commercially reasonable means of recovering the receivable balance have been exhausted. We write off uncollectible balances by reversing the financing receivable and the related allowance for credit losses. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable —Our accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables due from guests for services rendered at our owned and leased properties and from hotel owners with whom we have management and franchise agreements for services rendered and for reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. We assess all accounts receivable for credit losses quarterly and establish a reserve to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is based on an assessment of historical collection activity, the nature of the receivable, geographic considerations, and the current business environment. The allowance for credit losses is recognized in owned and leased hotels expenses or selling, general, and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of income (loss), based on the nature of the receivable. For additional information about accounts receivable, see Note 6. |
Inventories | Inventories —Inventories are comprised of operating supplies and equipment that have a period of consumption of two years or less and food and beverage items at our owned and leased hotels, which are generally valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. |
Property and Equipment and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets | Property and Equipment and Definite-Lived Intangible Assets —Property and equipment is stated at cost, including interest incurred during development and construction periods, less accumulated depreciation. Definite-lived intangible assets are recorded at the acquisition-date fair value, less accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily on the straight-line method. Property and equipment are depreciated over the following: Buildings and improvements 10–50 years Leasehold improvements The shorter of the lease term or useful life of asset Furniture and equipment 3–20 years Computers 3–7 years Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the following: Management and franchise agreement intangibles 4–30 years Advanced booking intangibles 1–3 years We assess property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment quarterly, and when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, we evaluate the net book value of the assets by comparing to the projected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. The principal factor used in the undiscounted cash flow analysis requiring judgment is the projected future operating cash flows, which are based on historical data, various internal estimates, and a variety of external resources, and are developed as part of our routine, long-term planning process. If the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the fair value is determined based on internally developed discounted cash flows of the assets, third-party appraisals or broker valuations, and if appropriate, current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers. Under the discounted cash flow approach, we utilize various assumptions requiring judgment, including projected future cash flows, discount rates, and capitalization rates. The excess of the net book value over the estimated fair value is recognized in asset impairments on our consolidated statements of income (loss). We evaluate the carrying value of our property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets based on our plans, at the time, for such assets and consider qualitative factors such as future development in the surrounding area, status of local competition, and any significant adverse changes in the business climate. Changes to our plans, including a decision to dispose of or change the intended use of an asset, may have a material impact on the carrying value of the asset. |
Leases | Leases —We primarily lease land, buildings, office space, and equipment. We determine if an arrangement is an operating or finance lease at inception. For our hotel management agreements, we apply judgment in order to determine whether the contract is accounted for as a lease or management agreement based on the specific facts and circumstances of each agreement. In evaluating whether an agreement constitutes a lease, we review the contractual terms to determine which party obtains both the economic benefits and control of the assets. In arrangements where we control the assets and obtain the economic benefits, we account for the contract as a lease. Certain of our leases include options to extend the lease term by 1 to 99 years. We include lease extension options in our operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the options. The range of extension options included in our operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities is approximately 1 to 20 years. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. We assess operating lease ROU assets for impairment quarterly, and when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, we evaluate the net book value of the assets by comparing to the projected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets. If the carrying value of the assets is determined to not be recoverable and is in excess of the estimated fair value, we recognize an impairment charge in asset impairments on our consolidated statements of income (loss). As our leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, we use our estimated IBR to determine the present value of our lease payments and apply a portfolio approach. We apply judgment in estimating our IBR including factors related to currency risk and our credit risk. We also give consideration to our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when determining our IBR. Our operating leases may include the following terms: (i) fixed minimum lease payments, (ii) variable lease payments based on a percentage of the hotel's profitability measure, as defined in the lease, (iii) lease payments equal to the greater of a minimum or variable lease payments based on a percentage of the hotel's profitability measure, as defined in the lease, (iv) lease payments adjusted for changes in an index or market value, or (v) variable lease payments based on a percentage split of the total gross revenue, as defined in the leases, related to our residential management operations. Future lease payments that are contingent are not included in the measurement of the operating lease liability or in the future maturities table, see Note 8. For office space, land, and hotel leases, we do not separate the lease and nonlease components, which primarily relate to common area maintenance and utilities. We combine lease and nonlease components for those leases where we are the lessor, and we exclude all leases that are twelve months or less from the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities. We adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , utilizing the optional transition approach under Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements , and applied the package of practical expedients beginning January 1, 2019. As a result of utilizing the optional transition method, our reporting for periods prior to January 1, 2019 continue to be reported in accordance with Leases (Topic 840) . |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions —We evaluate the facts and circumstances of each acquisition to determine whether the transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or a business combination. Under the supervision of management, independent third-party valuation specialists estimate the fair value of the assets or businesses acquired using various recognized valuation methods including the income approach, cost approach, relief from royalty approach, and sales comparison approach, which are primarily based on Level Three assumptions. Assumptions utilized in determining the fair value under these approaches include, but are not limited to, historical financial results when applicable, projected cash flows, discount rates, capitalization rates, royalty rates, current market conditions, likelihood of contract renewals, and comparable transactions. In a business combination, the fair value is allocated to tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets, with any remaining value assigned to goodwill, if applicable. In an asset acquisition, any difference between the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired is allocated across the identified assets based on the relative fair value. When we acquire the remaining ownership interest in or the property from an unconsolidated hospitality venture in a step acquisition, we estimate the fair value of our equity interest using the assumed cash proceeds we would receive from sale to a third party at a market sales price, which is determined using the aforementioned fair value methodologies and assumptions. The results of operations of properties or businesses have been included on our consolidated statements of income (loss) since their respective dates of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at the respective acquisition dates based on their estimated fair values. In business combinations, the purchase price allocations may be based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when we receive final information, including appraisals and other analyses. |
Goodwill | Goodwill —Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each year using balances at October 1 and at interim dates if indicators of impairment exist. Goodwill impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. We evaluate the fair value of the reporting unit either by performing a qualitative or quantitative assessment. In any given year, we can elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is in excess of its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value is in excess of the carrying value, or we elect to bypass the qualitative assessment, we proceed to the quantitative assessment. |
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets | Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets —We have certain brand and other indefinite-lived intangible assets that were acquired through various business combinations. At the time of each acquisition, fair value was estimated using a relief from royalty method. |
Guarantees | Guarantees —We enter into performance guarantees related to certain hotels we manage. We also enter into debt repayment and other guarantees with respect to unconsolidated hospitality ventures and certain managed and franchised hotels. We record a liability for the fair value of these guarantees at their inception date. In order to estimate the fair value, we use a Monte Carlo simulation to model the probability of possible outcomes. The valuation methodology requires that we make certain assumptions and judgments regarding discount rates, volatility, hotel operating results, and hotel property sales prices. The fair value is not revalued due to future changes in assumptions. The corresponding offset depends on the circumstances in which the guarantee was issued and is recorded to equity method investments, other assets, or expenses. We amortize the liability for the fair value of a guarantee into income over the term of the guarantee using a systematic and rational, risk-based approach. Guarantees related to our managed hotels are amortized into income in other income (loss), net on our consolidated statements of income (loss). Guarantees related to our unconsolidated hospitality ventures are amortized into equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures on our consolidated statements of income (loss). • Performance and other guarantees—On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the likelihood of funding under a guarantee. To the extent we determine an obligation to fund is both probable and estimable based on performance during the period, we record a separate contingent liability and recognize expense in other income (loss), net. • Debt repayment guarantees—At inception of the guarantee and on a quarterly basis, we evaluate the risk of funding under a guarantee. We assess credit risk based on the current and forecasted performance of the underlying property, whether the property owner is current on debt service, the historical performance of the underlying property, and the current market, and we record a separate liability and recognize expense in other income (loss), net or equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures based on the nature of the guarantee. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes—We account for income taxes to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the respective assets and liabilities. We recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position when, based on the technical merits of the uncertain tax position, it is more likely than not to be sustained on a review by taxing authorities. We review these estimates and make changes to recorded amounts of uncertain tax positions as facts and circumstances warrant. |
Fair Value | Fair Value —We apply the provisions of fair value measurement to various financial instruments, which we measure at fair value on a recurring basis, and to various financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities, which we measure at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. We disclose the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities based on observable market information where available or on market participant assumptions. These assumptions are subjective in nature and involve matters of judgment, and therefore, fair values cannot always be determined with precision. When determining fair value, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Level One—Fair values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; • Level Two—Fair values based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets and liabilities, and inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and • Level Three—Fair values based on inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. Valuation techniques could include the use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. We typically utilize the market approach and income approach for valuing our financial instruments. The market approach utilizes prices and information generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets and liabilities and the income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). For instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the classification within the fair value hierarchy has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the classification of fair value assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation —As part of our LTIP, we award SARs, RSUs, and PSUs to certain employees and non-employee directors: • SARs —Each vested SAR gives the holder the right to the difference between the value of one share of our Class A common stock at the exercise date and the value of one share of our Class A common stock at the grant date. The value of the SARs is determined using the fair value of our common stock at the grant date based on the closing stock price of our Class A common stock. SARs generally vest 25% annually over four years, beginning on the first anniversary after the grant date. Vested SARs can be exercised over their life as determined in accordance with the LTIP. All SARs have a 10-year contractual term, are settled in shares of our Class A common stock, and are accounted for as equity instruments. We recognize the compensation expense on a straight-line basis from the date of grant through the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, unless the employee meets retirement eligibility criteria resulting in immediate recognition. We recognize the effect of forfeitures as they occur. • RSUs —Each vested RSU will generally be settled by delivery of a single share of our Class A common stock and therefore is accounted for as an equity instrument. In certain situations, we also grant a limited number of cash-settled RSUs, which are recorded as a liability instrument. The cash-settled RSUs represent an insignificant portion of certain previous grants. The value of the RSUs is based on the fair value of our common stock at the grant date, based on a valuation of the Company prior to IPO or the closing stock price of our Class A common stock for the December 2009 award and all subsequent awards. Awards issued prior to our November 2009 IPO were deferred and settled once all tranches of the award vested in full or otherwise as provided in the relevant agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2020, all remaining November 2009 IPO awards vested in full. Awards issued in December 2009 and beyond will be settled as each individual tranche vests under the relevant agreements. We recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grant, which is generally a vesting period of one Under certain circumstances, we may issue time-vested RSUs with performance requirements, which vest based on the satisfaction of a continued employment requirement and the attainment of specified performance-vesting conditions that are established annually and eligible to be earned in tranches. Generally, these RSUs fully vest and settle in Class A common stock to the extent performance requirements for each tranche are achieved and if the requisite service period, which is generally three to five years, is satisfied. The value of the RSUs is determined using the fair value of our common stock at the grant date based on the closing stock price of our Class A common stock. Due to the fact that the performance conditions are established annually, each tranche may have its own grant date. We issued 51,400 and 140,000 of such RSUs during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for which, 148,690 RSUs have not met the grant date criteria and are therefore, not deemed granted as of December 31, 2020. • PSUs —PSUs vest and are settled in Class A common stock based on the performance of the Company through the end of the applicable performance period relative to the applicable performance target and are generally subject to continued employment through the applicable performance period. The PSUs will vest at the end of the performance period only if the performance threshold is met and continued service requirements are satisfied; there is no interim performance metric except in the case of certain change in control transactions. The value of the PSUs is determined using the fair value of our common stock at the grant date based on the closing stock price of our Class A common stock. We recognize compensation expense over the requisite performance period, which is generally a vesting period of approximately three |
Adopted Accounting Standards and Future Adoption of Accounting Standards | Adopted Accounting Standards Financial Instruments—Credit Losses — In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing impairment model for most financial assets from an incurred loss model to a current expected credit loss model, which requires an entity to recognize allowances for credit losses equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows the entity does not expect to collect. ASU 2016-13 also requires credit losses relating to AFS debt securities to be recognized through an allowance for credit losses. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, we recorded an adjustment of $1 million, net of tax, to opening retained earnings related to our credit loss for accounts receivable, a $12 million increase to our HTM debt securities, and a corresponding $12 million credit loss allowance on our consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of ASU 2016-03 did not materially affect our consolidated statements of income (loss) or our consolidated statements of cash flows, and the adoption adjustments do not reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future Adoption of Accounting Standards Reference Rate Reform— In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions that we can elect to adopt, subject to meeting certain criteria, regarding contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The relief provided in ASU 2020-04 is applicable to all entities, but is only available through December 31, 2022. We are still assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2020-04. |
Lessor, Leases | We lease retail space under operating leases at certain of our owned hotels. Rental payments are primarily fixed with certain variable payments based on a contractual percentage of revenues. |
Employee Benefit Plans | Defined Benefit Plans—We sponsor supplemental executive retirement plans consisting of funded and unfunded defined benefit plans for certain former executives. Retirement benefits are based primarily on the former employees' salary, as defined, and are payable upon satisfaction of certain service and age requirements as defined by the plans. Defined Contribution Plans —We provide retirement benefits to certain eligible employees under the Retirement Savings Plan (a qualified plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k)), the FRP, and other similar plans. For the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we recognized $30 million, $48 million, and $41 million, respectively, of expenses related to the Retirement Savings Plan based on a percentage of eligible employee contributions on stipulated amounts. The majority of these contributions relate to hotel property-level employees, which are reimbursable to us, and are included in revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties on our consolidated statements of income (loss). |
Self Insurance Reserve | We obtain commercial insurance for potential losses for general liability, workers' compensation, automobile liability, employment practices, crime, property, cyber risk, and other miscellaneous coverages. A portion of the risk is retained on a self-insurance basis primarily through a U.S.-based and licensed captive insurance company that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyatt and generally insures our deductibles and retentions. Reserve requirements are established based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. |
Commitments and Contingencies | We act as general partner of various partnerships owning hotel properties that are subject to mortgage indebtedness. These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender's recourse to security interests in assets financed and/or other assets of the partnership(s) and/or the general partner(s) thereof. In conjunction with financing obtained for our unconsolidated hospitality ventures and certain managed hotels, we may provide standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability, or damage occurring as a result of our actions or actions of the other unconsolidated hospitality venture partners or respective hotel owners. As a result of certain dispositions, we have agreed to provide customary indemnifications to third-party purchasers for certain liabilities incurred prior to sale and for breach of certain representations and warranties made during the sales process, such as representations of valid title, authority, and environmental issues that may not be limited by a contractual monetary amount. These indemnification agreements survive until the applicable statutes of limitation expire or until the agreed upon contract terms expire. We are subject, from time to time, to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined at this point, based on information currently available, we do not expect the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |
Segment Reporting | Owned and leased hotels —This segment derives its earnings from owned and leased hotel properties located predominantly in the United States but also in certain international locations and for purposes of segment Adjusted EBITDA, includes our pro rata share of the Adjusted EBITDA of our unconsolidated hospitality ventures, based on our ownership percentage of each venture. Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany expenses related to management fees paid to the Company's management and franchising segments, which are eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment revenues relate to promotional award redemptions earned by our owned and leased hotels related to our co-branded credit card program and are eliminated in consolidation. • Americas management and franchising —This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in the United States, Latin America, Canada, and the Caribbean as well as revenues from residential management operations. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to payroll at managed properties where the Company is the employer, as well as system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation. • ASPAC management and franchising —This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Southeast Asia, Greater China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, and Micronesia. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned hotel, which was sold during the year ended December 31, 2019, and are eliminated in consolidation. • EAME/SW Asia management and franchising —This segment derives its earnings primarily from a combination of hotel management and licensing of our portfolio of brands to franchisees located in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Central Asia, and Nepal. This segment's revenues also include the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties. These reimbursed costs relate primarily to system-wide services and the loyalty program operated on behalf of owners of managed and franchised properties. The intersegment revenues relate to management fees earned from the Company's owned and leased hotels and are eliminated in consolidation. Our CODM evaluates performance based on owned and leased hotels revenues, management, franchise, and other fees revenues, and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to Hyatt Hotels Corporation plus our pro rata share of unconsolidated owned and leased hospitality ventures Adjusted EBITDA based on our ownership percentage of each owned and leased venture, adjusted to exclude interest expense; benefit (provision) for income taxes; depreciation and amortization; Contra revenue; revenues for the reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties; costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties that we intend to recover over the long term; equity earnings (losses) from unconsolidated hospitality ventures; stock-based compensation expense; gains (losses) on sales of real estate and other; asset impairments; and other income (loss), net. |

We have the contractual right to recover amounts funded from an unconsolidated hospitality venture, which is a related party. We expect our maximum exposure to be $85 million, taking into account our partner's 50% ownership interest in the unconsolidated hospitality venture. Under certain events or conditions, we have the right to force the sale of the properties in order to recover amounts funded. (2) We have agreements with our unconsolidated hospitality venture partners, the respective hotel owners, or other third parties to recover certain amounts funded under the debt repayment guarantee; the recoverability mechanism may be in the form of cash, financing receivable, or HTM debt security. (3) If certain funding thresholds are met or if certain events occur, we have the ability to assume control of the property. (4) In conjunction with the debt repayment guarantees, we are subject to completion guarantees whereby the parties agree to substantially complete the construction of the project by a specified date. In the event of default, we are obligated to complete construction using the funds available from the outstanding loan. Any additional funds paid by us are subject to partial recovery in the form of cash. At December 31, 2020, the maximum potential future payments and the maximum exposure net of recoverability from third parties are insignificant. (5) At December 31, 2019, other-long term liabilities included a debt repayment guarantee for a residential property in Brazil.

We recorded the $14 million loan as a financing receivable on our consolidated balance sheet (see Note 6) and is reserved in full. |
