The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2011. Substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, RLJ Lodging Trust, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2021, there were 167,399,089 units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP units") outstanding and the Company owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 99.5% of the outstanding OP units. As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned 100 hotel properties with approximately 22,400 rooms, located in 23 states and the District of Columbia. The Company, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owned a 100% interest in 96 of its hotel properties, a 98.3% controlling interest in the DoubleTree Metropolitan Hotel New York City, a 95% controlling interest in The Knickerbocker, and 50% interests in entities owning two hotel properties. The Company consolidates its real estate interests in the 98 hotel properties in which it holds a controlling financial interest, and the Company records the real estate interests in the two hotel properties in which it holds an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. The Company leases 99 of the 100 hotel properties to its taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"), of which the Company owns a controlling financial interest. COVID-19 The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had, and will likely continue to have, a material impact on the Company's financial results and liquidity. Since the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the Company's operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, the Company cannot estimate the impact on its business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty. As of June 30, 2021, operations at 2 hotels located in New York City remained suspended. The Company will continue to evaluate reopening these hotels based on market conditions and other factors. All open hotels are currently operating under aggressive operating cost containment plans, including reduced staffing, elimination of non-essential amenities and services, and modified food and beverage offerings.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 contains a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies. Other than noted below, there have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies since December 31, 2020. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to financial information. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly state the consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has a majority voting interest and control. For the controlled subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, the third-party ownership interest represents a noncontrolling interest, which is presented separately in the consolidated financial statements. The Company also records the real estate interests in two joint ventures in which it holds an indirect 50% interest using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts in these financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no impact to net loss and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity or cash flows. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Given the additional and unforeseen effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates have become more challenging, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The guidance enhances and simplifies various aspects of the current income tax guidance and reduces complexity by removing certain exceptions to the general framework. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.

Failure to meet the incurrence covenant does not, in and of itself, constitute an event of default under the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 indenture. $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 The Company's $475.0 million senior notes due 2025 are referred to as the "$475 Million Senior Notes due 2025." The Company's $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 consisted of the following (in thousands): Outstanding Borrowings at Interest Rate Maturity Date June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 (1) (2) (3) 6.00% June 2025 $ 493,397 $ 495,759 (1) Requires payments of interest only through maturity.

The $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 are subject to a maximum unsecured leverage maintenance covenant, which is based on asset value that is calculated at historical cost. In addition, the $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 are subject to various incurrence covenants that limit the ability of the Company's subsidiary, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership ("FelCor LP"), to incur additional debt if these covenants are violated. Failure to meet these incurrence covenant thresholds does not, in and of itself, constitute an event of default under the $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 indenture. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all maintenance and incurrence covenants except the interest coverage ratio. As a result, FelCor LP is currently prohibited from incurring additional debt.

The Company also has the ability to extend the maturity date for an additional one year period ending May 2025 if certain conditions are satisfied. (3) The Company utilized $196.1 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 to reduce the outstanding principal balance of this term loan. (4) The Company utilized $110.3 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 to reduce the outstanding principal balance of this term loan. (5) Pursuant to the terms under the Company's credit agreements, the Company utilized $20.8 million of the proceeds from hotel dispositions and $29.2 million of the proceeds from the issuance of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 to reduce the outstanding principal balance of this term loan. In addition, the Company has the option to extend the maturity one additional year to June 2024. (6) Excludes $3.5 million and $4.1 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to deferred financing costs on the Revolver, which are included in prepaid expense and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Revolver and Term Loans are subject to various financial covenants. A summary of the most restrictive covenants is as follows: Covenant Compliance Leverage ratio (1) <= 7.00x N/A (3) Fixed charge coverage ratio (2) >= 1.50x N/A (3) Secured indebtedness ratio <= 45.0% N/A (3) Unencumbered indebtedness ratio <= 60.0% N/A (3) Unencumbered debt service coverage ratio >= 2.00x N/A (3) Maintain minimum liquidity level >= $150.0 million Yes (1) Leverage ratio is net indebtedness, as defined in the Revolver and Term Loan agreements, to corporate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the Revolver and Term Loan agreements. (2) Fixed charge coverage ratio is Adjusted EBITDA, generally defined in the Revolver and Term Loan agreements as EBITDA less furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") reserves, to fixed charges, which is generally defined in the Revolver and Term Loan agreements as interest expense, all regularly scheduled principal payments, preferred dividends paid, and cash taxes paid. (3) The Company is not currently required to comply with these covenants, see details below. In June 2021, the Company amended its Revolver and Term Loans. The amendments extend by one fiscal quarter the suspension of testing of all existing financial maintenance covenants under the Revolver and the Term Loan agreements for all periods through and including the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 (the “Covenant Relief Period”). In addition, for periods following the Covenant Relief Period, the amendments modify certain covenant thresholds. As part of the Revolver and Term Loans amendment in June 2021, the Company amended the $150 Million Term Loan Maturing 2023 to extend the maturity for $100.0 million of the original principal balance from January 2022 to June 2023 with an option to extend the maturity by one year to June 2024. The applicable margin on the interest rate will be 3.0% for LIBOR loans and 2.0% for base rate loans until the end of the Leverage Relief Period, as defined in the existing credit agreement. After the end of the leverage relief period, the applicable margin will revert to the original leverage- or ratings-based pricing. Through the date that the financial statements are delivered for the quarter ending June 30, 2022 (the "Restriction Period"), the Company is subject to various restrictions including, but not limited to, the requirement to pledge the equity interests in certain subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties to secure the Revolver and Term Loans, asset sales, equity issuances and incurrences of indebtedness will, subject to various exceptions, continue to be required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of certain amounts outstanding under the Revolver and the Term Loans. In addition, the restrictions limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and make prepayments of indebtedness, increase dividends and distributions, make capital expenditures over $150.0 million in each of the 2021 and 2022 calendar years through the last day of the Restriction Period, and make investments, including certain acquisitions over $300.0 million or $150.0 million, dependent upon the outstanding balance of the Company's Revolver. All of these limitations are subject to various exceptions. The Company is also required to maintain minimum liquidity, as defined in the amendments, of $150.0 million until certain leverage thresholds are met. At the Company's election, the Restriction Period and the Covenant Relief Period may be terminated early if the Company is at such time able to comply with the applicable financial covenants. If the Company assesses that it is unlikely to meet the financial covenant thresholds for periods following the Covenant Relief Period, then the Company will seek an extension of the Covenant Relief Period. Mortgage Loans The Company's mortgage loans consisted of the following (in thousands): Outstanding Borrowings at Number of Assets Encumbered Interest Rate at June 30, 2021 Maturity Date June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Mortgage loan (1) 7 3.30 % April 2022 (5) $ 200,000 $ 200,000 Mortgage loan (2) 1 4.94 % October 2022 27,606 27,972 Mortgage loan (1) 4 2.77 % April 2024 (5) 85,000 85,000 Mortgage loan (1) 3 3.35 % April 2024 (5) 96,000 96,000 Mortgage loan (3) 1 — June 2022 (6) — 30,332 Mortgage loan (4) 3 — October 2022 (6) — 86,775 19 408,606 526,079 Deferred financing costs, net (1,629) (2,411) Total mortgage loans, net $ 406,977 $ 523,668 (1) The hotels encumbered by the mortgage loan are cross-collateralized.

(2) Includes $0.2 million and $0.3 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to a fair value adjustment on the mortgage loan. In July 2021, the Company paid off the mortgage loan in full and paid approximately $1.3 million in termination costs using the proceeds from the issuance of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026. (3) Includes $0.3 million at December 31, 2020 related to a fair value adjustment on a mortgage loan. (4) Includes $0.9 million at December 31, 2020 related to fair value adjustments on the mortgage loans. (5) The mortgage loan provides two one year extension options. (6) In June 2021, the Company paid off the mortgage loan(s) in full and paid approximately $5.7 million in termination costs using the proceeds from the issuance of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026. Certain mortgage agreements are subject to various maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum debt yield or debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"). Failure to meet the debt yield or DSCR thresholds is not an event of default, but instead triggers a cash trap event. During the cash trap event, the lender or servicer of the mortgage loan controls cash outflows until the loan is covenant compliant. In addition certain mortgage loans have other requirements including continued operation and maintenance of the hotel property. At June 30, 2021, all four mortgage loans were below the DSCR threshold and were in a cash trap event. At June 30, 2021, there was approximately $9.4 million of restricted cash held by lenders due to the cash trap event. This includes approximately $1.8 million of restricted cash held by lenders on mortgage loans that were paid off in June 2021 and subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company received these funds back.

The $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 will mature on July 1, 2026 and bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2022. The Company used the net proceeds of the offering of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 to partially repay indebtedness under the Company's Term Loans (as defined below) and secured mortgage indebtedness, as well as for any costs and expenses related thereto. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company capitalized $7.4 million of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026. The $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company, the sole general and majority limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that incur and guarantee any indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities, any additional first lien obligations or certain other bank indebtedness (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”). The $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 are secured, subject to certain permitted liens, by a first priority security interest in all of the equity interests owned by the Operating Partnership and certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors (each, a “Secured Guarantor”) in certain of the other Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Collateral”), which Collateral also secures the obligations under the Company’s credit facilities on a first priority basis. The Collateral securing the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 may be released in full prior to the maturity of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 if the Operating Partnership and the Company achieve compliance with certain financial covenant requirements, after which the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 will be unsecured. At any time prior to July 1, 2023, the Operating Partnership may redeem the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the accrued principal amount thereof plus any unpaid interest earned through the redemption date plus a make-whole premium. At any time on or after July 1, 2023, the Operating Partnership may redeem the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of (i) 101.875% of the principal amount should such redemption occur before July 1, 2024, (ii) 100.938% of the principal amount should redemption occur before July 1, 2025, and (iii) 100.000% of the principal amount should such redemption occur on or after July 1, 2025, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The indenture governing the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 contains customary covenants that will limit the Operating Partnership’s ability and, in certain instances, the ability of its subsidiaries, to incur additional debt, create liens on assets, make distributions and pay dividends, make certain types of investments, issue guarantees of indebtedness, and make certain restricted payments. These limitations are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture. A summary of the various restrictive covenants for the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 are as follows: Covenant Compliance Consolidated Indebtedness less than Adjusted Total Assets < .65x Yes Consolidated Secured Indebtedness less than Adjusted Total Assets < .45x Yes Unencumbered Asset to Unencumbered Debt Ratio > 150.0% Yes Interest Coverage Ratio > 1.5x No As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all maintenance and incurrence covenants associated with the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 except the interest coverage ratio. Failure to meet the incurrence covenant does not, in and of itself, constitute an event of default under the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 indenture. $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 The Company's $475.0 million senior notes due 2025 are referred to as the "$475 Million Senior Notes due 2025."

The $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 are subject to a maximum unsecured leverage maintenance covenant, which is based on asset value that is calculated at historical cost. In addition, the $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 are subject to various incurrence covenants that limit the ability of the Company's subsidiary, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership ("FelCor LP"), to incur additional debt if these covenants are violated. Failure to meet these incurrence covenant thresholds does not, in and of itself, constitute an event of default under the $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 indenture. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all maintenance and incurrence covenants except the interest coverage ratio. As a result, FelCor LP is currently prohibited from incurring additional debt.

The Revolver and Term Loans are subject to various financial covenants. A summary of the most restrictive covenants is as follows: Covenant Compliance Leverage ratio (1) <= 7.00x N/A (3) Fixed charge coverage ratio (2) >= 1.50x N/A (3) Secured indebtedness ratio <= 45.0% N/A (3) Unencumbered indebtedness ratio <= 60.0% N/A (3) Unencumbered debt service coverage ratio >= 2.00x N/A (3) Maintain minimum liquidity level >= $150.0 million Yes (1) Leverage ratio is net indebtedness, as defined in the Revolver and Term Loan agreements, to corporate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the Revolver and Term Loan agreements. (2) Fixed charge coverage ratio is Adjusted EBITDA, generally defined in the Revolver and Term Loan agreements as EBITDA less furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") reserves, to fixed charges, which is generally defined in the Revolver and Term Loan agreements as interest expense, all regularly scheduled principal payments, preferred dividends paid, and cash taxes paid. (3) The Company is not currently required to comply with these covenants, see details below. In June 2021, the Company amended its Revolver and Term Loans. The amendments extend by one fiscal quarter the suspension of testing of all existing financial maintenance covenants under the Revolver and the Term Loan agreements for all periods through and including the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 (the “Covenant Relief Period”). In addition, for periods following the Covenant Relief Period, the amendments modify certain covenant thresholds. As part of the Revolver and Term Loans amendment in June 2021, the Company amended the $150 Million Term Loan Maturing 2023 to extend the maturity for $100.0 million of the original principal balance from January 2022 to June 2023 with an option to extend the maturity by one year to June 2024. The applicable margin on the interest rate will be 3.0% for LIBOR loans and 2.0% for base rate loans until the end of the Leverage Relief Period, as defined in the existing credit agreement. After the end of the leverage relief period, the applicable margin will revert to the original leverage- or ratings-based pricing. Through the date that the financial statements are delivered for the quarter ending June 30, 2022 (the "Restriction Period"), the Company is subject to various restrictions including, but not limited to, the requirement to pledge the equity interests in certain subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties to secure the Revolver and Term Loans, asset sales, equity issuances and incurrences of indebtedness will, subject to various exceptions, continue to be required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of certain amounts outstanding under the Revolver and the Term Loans. In addition, the restrictions limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and make prepayments of indebtedness, increase dividends and distributions, make capital expenditures over $150.0 million in each of the 2021 and 2022 calendar years through the last day of the Restriction Period, and make investments, including certain acquisitions over $300.0 million or $150.0 million, dependent upon the outstanding balance of the Company's Revolver. All of these limitations are subject to various exceptions. The Company is also required to maintain minimum liquidity, as defined in the amendments, of $150.0 million until certain leverage thresholds are met. At the Company's election, the Restriction Period and the Covenant Relief Period may be terminated early if the Company is at such time able to comply with the applicable financial covenants. If the Company assesses that it is unlikely to meet the financial covenant thresholds for periods following the Covenant Relief Period, then the Company will seek an extension of the Covenant Relief Period. Mortgage Loans The Company's mortgage loans consisted of the following (in thousands): Outstanding Borrowings at Number of Assets Encumbered Interest Rate at June 30, 2021 Maturity Date June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Mortgage loan (1) 7 3.30 % April 2022 (5) $ 200,000 $ 200,000 Mortgage loan (2) 1 4.94 % October 2022 27,606 27,972 Mortgage loan (1) 4 2.77 % April 2024 (5) 85,000 85,000 Mortgage loan (1) 3 3.35 % April 2024 (5) 96,000 96,000 Mortgage loan (3) 1 — June 2022 (6) — 30,332 Mortgage loan (4) 3 — October 2022 (6) — 86,775 19 408,606 526,079 Deferred financing costs, net (1,629) (2,411) Total mortgage loans, net $ 406,977 $ 523,668 (1) The hotels encumbered by the mortgage loan are cross-collateralized.

(6) In June 2021, the Company paid off the mortgage loan(s) in full and paid approximately $5.7 million in termination costs using the proceeds from the issuance of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026. Certain mortgage agreements are subject to various maintenance covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum debt yield or debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"). Failure to meet the debt yield or DSCR thresholds is not an event of default, but instead triggers a cash trap event. During the cash trap event, the lender or servicer of the mortgage loan controls cash outflows until the loan is covenant compliant. In addition certain mortgage loans have other requirements including continued operation and maintenance of the hotel property. At June 30, 2021, all four mortgage loans were below the DSCR threshold and were in a cash trap event. At June 30, 2021, there was approximately $9.4 million of restricted cash held by lenders due to the cash trap event.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair Value Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market. The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable: • Level 1 — Inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 — Inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. • Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company used the following market assumptions and/or estimation methods: • Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash reserves, hotel and other receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities — The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short term maturities. • Debt — The Company estimated the fair value of the $500 Million Senior Notes due 2026 and $475 Million Senior Notes due 2025 by using publicly available trading prices, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimated the fair value of the Revolver and Term Loans by using a discounted cash flow model and incorporating various inputs and assumptions for the effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimated the fair value of the mortgage loans by using a discounted cash flow model and incorporating various inputs and assumptions for the effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms and the loan to estimated fair value of the collateral, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company determined that the significant inputs, such as interest yield curves and discount rates, used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and that the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s counterparties and its own credit risk utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2021, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and for net operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the new rate is enacted. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of all available evidence, including the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income and tax planning strategies. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company is still continuing to provide a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

The management agreements, franchise agreements and/or mortgage loan documents require the Company to reserve cash ranging typically from 3.0% to 5.0% of the individual hotel’s revenues. Any unexpended amounts will remain the property of the Company upon termination of the management agreements, franchise agreements or mortgage loan documents. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately $38.8 million and $35.0 million, respectively, was available in the restricted cash reserves for future capital expenditures, real estate taxes, insurance and debt obligations where certain lenders held restricted cash due to a cash trap event. In addition, due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, the Company has worked with the hotel brands, third-party managers and lenders to allow the use of available restricted cash reserves to cover operating shortfalls at certain hotels.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Equity Incentive Plan	Equity Incentive Plan The Company may issue share-based awards to officers, employees, non-employee trustees and other eligible persons under the RLJ Lodging Trust 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders on April 30, 2021. The 2021 Plan provides for a maximum of 6,828,527 common shares to be issued in the form of share options, share appreciation rights, restricted share awards, unrestricted share awards, share units, dividend equivalent rights, long-term incentive units, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards. Share Awards From time to time, the Company may award unvested restricted shares as compensation to officers, employees and non-employee trustees. The issued shares vest over a period of time as determined by the board of trustees at the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense for time-based unvested restricted shares on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance, adjusted for forfeitures. Non-employee trustees may also elect to receive unrestricted shares as compensation that would otherwise be paid in cash for their services. The shares issued to non-employee trustees in lieu of cash compensation are unrestricted and include no vesting conditions. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the unrestricted shares issued in lieu of cash compensation on the date of issuance based upon the fair market value of the shares on that date. A summary of the unvested restricted shares as of June 30, 2021 is as follows: 2021 Number of Weighted-Average Unvested at January 1, 2021 1,252,228 $ 15.17 Granted 1,733,358 15.93 Vested (408,776) 15.46 Forfeited (1,382) 11.29 Unvested at June 30, 2021 2,575,428 $ 15.64 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $3.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to restricted share awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $2.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to restricted share awards. As of June 30, 2021, there was $36.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested restricted share awards and these costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. The total fair value of the shares vested (calculated as the number of shares multiplied by the vesting date share price) during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was approximately $6.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Performance Units From time to time, the Company may award performance units as compensation to officers and employees. The performance units granted prior to 2021 vest over a four year period, including three years of performance-based vesting (the “performance units measurement period”) plus an additional one year of time-based vesting. These performance units may convert into restricted shares at a range of 0% to 200% of the number of performance units granted contingent upon the Company achieving an absolute total shareholder return (40% of award) and a relative total shareholder return (60% of award) over the measurement period at specified percentiles of the peer group, as defined by the awards. If at the end of the performance units measurement period the target criterion is met, then 50% of the performance units that are earned will vest at the end of the measurement period. The remaining 50% convert to restricted shares that will vest on the one year anniversary of the end of the measurement period. For any restricted shares issued upon conversion, the award recipient will be entitled to receive payment of an amount equal to all dividends that would have been paid if such restricted shares had been issued at the beginning of the performance units measurement period. The fair value of the performance units is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation, and an expected term equal to the requisite service period for the awards of four years. The Company estimates the compensation expense for the performance units on a straight-line basis using a calculation that recognizes 50% of the grant date fair value over three years and 50% of the grant date fair value over four years. The performance units granted in 2021 vest at the end of a three year period. These performance units may convert into restricted shares at a range of 0% to 200% of the number of performance units granted contingent upon the Company achieving an absolute total shareholder return (25% of award) and a relative shareholder return (75% of award) over the measurement period at specified percentiles of the peer group, as defined by the awards. At the end of the performance units measurement period the target criterion is met, 100% of the performance units that are earned will vest immediately. The award recipients will not be entitled to receive any dividends prior to the date of conversion. For any restricted shares issued upon conversion, the award recipient will be entitled to receive payment of an amount equal to all dividends that would have been paid if such restricted shares had been issued at the beginning of the performance units measurement period. For performance units granted in 2021, the Company estimates the compensation expense for the performance units on a straight-line basis using a calculation that recognizes 100% of the grant date fair value over three years. A summary of the performance unit awards is as follows: Date of Award Number of Grant Date Fair Conversion Range Risk Free Interest Rate Volatility February 2018 (1) 264,000 $13.99 0% to 150% 2.42% 27.44% February 2019 260,000 $19.16 0% to 200% 2.52% 27.19% February 2020 489,000 $11.59 0% to 200% 1.08% 23.46% February 2021 431,151 $20.90 0% to 200% 0.23% 69.47% (1) In February 2021, following the end of the measurement period, the Company met certain threshold criterion and the performance units were converted into approximately 26,000 restricted shares. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized approximately $1.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to the performance unit awards. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense related to the performance unit awards. As of June 30, 2021, there was $13.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the performance unit awards and these costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Common Share	Earnings per Common Share Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding the weighted-average number of unvested restricted shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus any shares that could potentially be outstanding during the period. The potential shares consist of the unvested restricted share grants and unvested performance units, calculated using the treasury stock method. Any anti-dilutive shares have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating shares and are considered in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. If there were any undistributed earnings allocable to the participating shares, they would be deducted from net income attributable to common shareholders used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. The limited partners’ outstanding OP units (which may be redeemed for common shares under certain circumstances) have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as there was no effect on the amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, since the limited partners’ share of income would also be added back to net income attributable to common shareholders.

Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and the amounts of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Given the additional and unforeseen effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates have become more challenging, and actual results could differ from those estimates.
