	Organization and Basis of Presentation
	Organization
	Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. ("Hilton" together with its subsidiaries, "we," "us," "our" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is one of the largest hospitality companies in the world based upon the number of hotel rooms and timeshare units under our 10 distinct brands. We are engaged in owning, leasing, managing, developing and franchising hotels, resorts and timeshare properties. As of March 31, 2014, we owned, leased, managed or franchised 4,112 hotel and resort properties, totaling 680,117 rooms in 92 countries and territories, as well as 43 timeshare properties comprising 6,673 units.
	In December 2013, we completed a 9,205,128-for-1 stock split on issued and outstanding shares, which is reflected in all share and per share data presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone" or "our Sponsor") beneficially owned approximately 76.4 percent of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014.
	Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared in accordance with United States of America ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and are unaudited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.
	In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

	Note 2: Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	Adopted Accounting Standards
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists in the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of the tax position. The provisions of ASU 2013-11 were effective, prospectively, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. As a result of our adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2014, $108 million of unrecognized tax benefits were reclassified against deferred income tax assets.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05 ("ASU 2013-05"), Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This ASU clarifies when a cumulative translation adjustment should be released to net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate) within a foreign entity. The provisions of ASU 2013-05 were effective, prospectively, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 ("ASU 2014-08"), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU amends guidance on reporting discontinued operations only if the disposal of a component of an entity or group of components of an entity represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The provisions of ASU 2014-08 should be applied prospectively for all disposals of components of an entity and for all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occurred within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04 ("ASU 2014-04"), Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This ASU clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, as well as additional required disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2014-04 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities	'
	Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
	As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we consolidated four variable interest entities ("VIEs"). During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not provide any financial or other support to any VIEs that we were not previously contractually required to provide, nor do we intend to provide such support in the future.
	Two of these VIEs lease hotels from unconsolidated affiliates in Japan. We hold a significant ownership interest in these VIEs and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Our condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of these entities, which primarily comprised $40 million and $42 million of cash and cash equivalents, $27 million and $26 million of property and equipment, net, and $288 million and $284 million of non-recourse debt as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The assets of these entities are only available to settle the obligations of these entities. Interest expense related to the non-recourse debt of these two consolidated VIEs was $5 million and $8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was included in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	In February 2013, one of our consolidated VIEs in Japan signed a Memorandum of Understanding to restructure the terms of its capital lease. The effect of the capital lease restructuring was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013, resulting in a reduction in property and equipment, net of $44 million and a reduction in non-recourse debt of $48 million. This transaction was considered a non-cash investing and financing activity and was excluded from our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
	In August 2013, we formed a VIE to issue our Securitized Timeshare Debt. We are the primary beneficiary of this VIE as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to the VIE. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of this entity, which primarily comprised $8 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents, $210 million and $221 million of securitized financing receivables, net and $209 million and $222 million of non-recourse debt, respectively. Our condensed consolidated statement of operations included interest income of $7 million, included in timeshare revenue, and interest expense of $1 million, included in interest expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, related to this VIE. See Note 4: "Financing Receivables" and Note 7: "Debt" for additional details.
	We have an additional consolidated VIE that owns one hotel that was immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, derivatives were used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with variable-rate debt. Certain of our loan agreements require us to hedge interest rate risk using derivative instruments.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	As of March 31, 2014, we held four interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.45 billion, which swap three-month LIBOR on the Term Loans to a fixed rate of 1.87 percent and expire in October 2018. We elected to designate these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
	Non-designated Hedges
	As of March 31, 2014, we held one interest rate cap in the notional amount of $875 million, for the variable-rate component of the CMBS Loan, that expires in November 2015 and caps one-month LIBOR at 6.0 percent. We did not elect to designate this interest rate cap as a hedging instrument.
	As of March 31, 2014, we also held one interest rate cap in the notional amount of $525 million that expires in November 2015 and caps one-month LIBOR on a mortgage loan secured by one property at 4.0 percent. We did not elect to designate this interest rate cap as a hedging instrument.
	As of March 31, 2013, we held ten interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $15.2 billion, which matured in November 2013. We did not elect to designate any of these ten interest rate caps as effective hedging instruments.

	We believe the carrying amounts of our current financial assets and liabilities and other financing receivables approximated fair value as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Our estimates of the fair values were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the estimated fair values. Proper classification of fair value measurements within the valuation hierarchy is considered each reporting period. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
	Cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents primarily consisted of short-term interest-bearing money market funds with maturities of less than 90 days, time deposits and commercial paper. The estimated fair values were based on available market pricing information of similar financial instruments.
	The estimated fair values of our timeshare financing receivables were based on the expected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The primary sensitivity in these calculations is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value. An increase in the discount rates would result in a decrease in the fair values.
	We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value which were estimated using an income approach. The primary inputs into our fair value estimate include interest rates and yield curves based on observable market inputs of similar instruments.
	The estimated fair values of our Level 1 long-term debt were based on prices in active debt markets. The estimated fair values of our Level 2 long-term debt were based on bid prices in a non-active debt market. The estimated fair values of our Level 3 fixed-rate long-term debt were estimated based on the expected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates. The primary sensitivity in these estimates is based on the selection of appropriate discount rates. Fluctuations in these assumptions will result in different estimates of fair value. An increase in the discount rates would result in a decrease in the fair values. The carrying amounts of our Level 3 variable-rate long-term debt and non-recourse debt approximated fair value as the interest rates under the loan agreements approximated current market rates. The estimated fair values of our Level 3 fixed-rate non-recourse debt were primarily based on indicative quotes received for similar issuances.
	No financial or nonfinancial assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	At the end of each interim period, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full fiscal year. The effective income tax rate is determined by the level and composition of pre-tax income or loss, which is subject to federal, foreign, state and local income taxes and reflects income tax expense or benefit resulting from our significant operations outside of the U.S.
	Our total unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $442 million and $435 million, respectively. As a result of the expected resolution of examination issues with federal, state and foreign tax authorities, we believe it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease up to $4 million. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $346 million and $340 million, respectively, associated with positions that, if favorably resolved, would provide a benefit to our effective tax rate. The increase in unrecognized tax benefits for the quarter is primarily the result of tax law changes enacted in New York.
	We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. We have accrued balances of approximately $47 million and $45 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	Effective January 1, 2014 we adopted new regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding the deduction and capitalization of amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property as well as dispositions of such property. Certain portions of the regulations required an accounting method change on a retroactive basis, requiring an adjustment related to deferred taxes. As a result of this accounting method change we reclassified $33 million out of deferred tax assets into current taxes receivable.
	We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. We are under regular and recurring audit by the IRS on open tax positions. The timing of the resolution of tax audits is highly uncertain, as are the amounts, if any, that may ultimately be paid upon such resolution. Changes may result from the conclusion of ongoing audits, appeals or litigation in state, local, federal and foreign tax jurisdictions or from the resolution of various proceedings between the U.S. and foreign tax authorities. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years through 2004. As of March 31, 2014, we remain subject to federal examinations from 2005-2012, state examinations from 1999-2012 and foreign examinations of our income tax returns for the years 1996 through 2012. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective return; however, the state impact of any federal tax return changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period generally of up to one year after formal notification to the states. The statute of limitations for the foreign jurisdictions generally ranges from three to ten years after filing the respective tax return.

	We sponsor multiple domestic and international employee benefit plans. Benefits are based upon years of service and compensation.
	We have a noncontributory retirement plan in the U.S. (the "Domestic Plan"), which covers certain employees not earning union benefits. This plan was frozen for participant benefit accruals in 1996. We also have multiple employee benefit plans that cover many of our international employees. These include a plan that covers workers in the United Kingdom (the "U.K. Plan"), which was frozen to further accruals in November 2013, and a number of smaller plans that cover workers in various other countries around the world (the "International Plans").

	We have an outstanding bond of $76 million under a class action lawsuit against Hilton and the Domestic Plan to support potential future plan contributions from us. We funded an account, which is classified as restricted cash and cash equivalents in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, to support this requirement. If the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia approves of our compliance with the findings from the class action lawsuit, then the bond may be released in 2014.
	In May 2011, we, along with the trustees for the U.K. Plan, reached an agreement on the funded status and security for the U.K. Plan. This agreement resulted in a guarantee denominated in British Pound Sterling of 15 million (equivalent to $25 million as of March 31, 2014) from us to the U.K. Plan.

	Share-Based Compensation
	2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan
	In February 2014, we issued time-vesting restricted stock units ("RSUs"), nonqualified stock options ("options") and performance-vesting restricted stock units ("performance shares") under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
	We recorded share-based compensation expense for awards granted under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan of $11 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, which includes amounts reimbursed by hotel owners. As of March 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards was approximately $174 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years on a straight-line basis.
	As of March 31, 2014, there were 72,314,544 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
	Restricted Stock Units
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued 7,066,153 RSUs with a grant-date fair value of $21.53. The RSUs vest in annual installments over two or three years from the date of grant, subject to the individual’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date. Vested RSUs generally will be settled for our common stock, with the exception of certain awards that will be settled in cash.
	Stock Options
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued 1,003,591 options with an exercise price of $21.53. As of March 31, 2014, no options were exercisable. The options vest over three years in equal installments from the date of grant, subject to the individual’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date, and will terminate 10 years from the date of grant or earlier if the individual’s service terminates. The exercise price is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
	The grant date fair value of each of these option grants was $7.58, which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
	Expected volatility(1)	33	%
	Dividend yield(2)	—	%
	Risk-free rate(3)	1.85	%
	Expected term (in years)(4)	6
	____________
	-1	Due to limited trading history for our common stock, we did not have sufficient information available on which to base a reasonable and supportable estimate of the expected volatility of our share price. As a result, we used an average historical volatility of our peer group over a time period consistent with our expected term assumption. Our peer group was determined based upon companies in our industry with similar business models and is consistent with those used to benchmark our executive compensation.
	-2	We have no foreseeable plans to pay dividends during the expected term of these options.
	-3	Based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar expected lives.
	(4)	Estimated using the average of the vesting periods and the contractual term of the options.
	Performance Shares
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued 1,078,908 performance shares. The performance shares are settled at the end of the three-year performance period with 50 percent of the shares subject to achievement based on a measure of (1) the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the total shareholder returns of members of a peer company group ("relative shareholder return") and the other 50 percent of the shares subject to achievement based on (2) the Company’s earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") compound annual growth rate ("EBITDA CAGR"). The total number of performance shares that vest based on each performance measure (relative shareholder return and EBITDA CAGR) is based on an achievement factor which, in each case, ranges from a zero to 200 percent payout.
	The grant date fair value of each of the performance shares based on relative shareholder return was $23.56, which was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions:
	Expected volatility(1)	30	%
	Dividend yield(2)	—	%
	Risk-free rate(3)	0.7	%
	Expected term (in years)(4)	2.8

	-4	Midpoint of the 30-calendar day period preceding the end of the performance period.
	The grant-date fair value of each of the performance shares based on our EBITDA CAGR was $21.53. For these shares, we determined that the performance condition is probable of achievement and during the three months ended March 31, 2014, recognized compensation expense at the target amount of 100 percent.
	As of March 31, 2014, 1,078,908 performance shares were outstanding with a remaining life of 2.8 years.
	Promote Plan
	Prior to December 2013, certain members of our senior management team participated in an executive compensation
	plan ("the Promote plan"). Equity awards under the Promote plan were exchanged for restricted shares of common stock in connection with our initial public offering and vest as follows: (1) 40 percent vested immediately; (2) 40 percent of each award will vest on December 11, 2014, contingent upon employment through that date; and (3) 20 percent of each award will vest on the date that our Sponsor and its affiliates cease to own 50 percent or more of the shares of the Company, contingent on employment through that date.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the vesting conditions of these restricted shares of common stock for certain participants were modified such that the remaining 60 percent of each participant's award will vest in June 2014. As a result of this modification, we recorded incremental compensation expense of $7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, total compensation expense under the Promote plan was $13 million and unrecognized compensation expense as of March 31, 2014 was $84 million, $16 million of which is expected to be recognized through December 2014 and $68 million of which is subject to the achievement of a performance condition. No expense was recognized for the portion of the awards that are subject to the achievement of a performance condition in the form of a liquidity event, since such an event was not probable as of March 31, 2014.
	We recorded compensation expense related to the Promote plan of $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
	Cash-based Long-term Incentive Plan
	In February 2014, we terminated a cash-based, long-term incentive plan and reversed the associated accruals resulting in a reduction of compensation expense of approximately $25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Business Segments	'
	Business Segments
	We are a diversified hospitality company with operations organized in three distinct operating segments: ownership, management and franchise and timeshare. Each segment is managed separately because of its distinct economic characteristics.
	The ownership segment includes all hotels that we wholly own or lease, as well as consolidated non-wholly owned entities and consolidated VIEs. As of March 31, 2014, this segment included 118 wholly owned and leased hotels and resorts, three non-wholly owned hotel properties and three hotels of consolidated VIEs. While we do not include equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our measures of segment revenues, we manage these investments in our ownership segment. Our unconsolidated affiliates are primarily investments in entities that owned or leased 29 hotels and a management company as of March 31, 2014.
	The management and franchise segment includes all of the hotels we manage for third-party owners, as well as all franchised hotels operated or managed by someone other than us under one of our proprietary brand names of our brand portfolio. As of March 31, 2014, this segment included 508 managed hotels and 3,450 franchised hotels. This segment also earns fees for managing properties in our ownership and timeshare segments.
	The timeshare segment includes the development of vacation ownership clubs and resorts, marketing and selling of timeshare intervals, providing timeshare customer financing and resort operations. This segment also provides assistance to third-party developers in selling their timeshare inventory. As of March 31, 2014, this segment included 43 timeshare properties.
	Corporate and other represents revenues and related operating expenses generated by the incidental support of hotel operations for owned, leased, managed and franchised hotels and other rental income, as well as corporate assets and related expenditures.
	The performance of our operating segments is evaluated primarily based on Adjusted EBITDA, which should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or other measures of financial performance or liquidity derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, presented herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects net income attributable to Hilton stockholders, excluding interest expense, a provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including, but not limited to, gains, losses and expenses in connection with: (i) asset dispositions for both consolidated and unconsolidated investments; (ii) foreign currency transactions; (iii) debt restructurings/retirements; (iv) non-cash impairment losses; (v) furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") replacement reserves required under certain lease agreements; (vi) reorganization costs; (vii) share-based and certain other compensation expenses prior to and in connection with our initial public offering; (viii) severance, relocation and other expenses; and (ix) other items.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	'
	Commitments and Contingencies
	As of March 31, 2014, we had outstanding guarantees of $27 million, with remaining terms ranging from seven months to nine years, for debt and other obligations of third parties. We have two letters of credit for a total of $27 million that have been pledged as collateral for two of these guarantees. Although we believe it is unlikely that material payments will be required under these guarantees or letters of credit, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.
	We have also provided performance guarantees to certain owners of hotels that we operate under management contracts. Most of these guarantees allow us to terminate the contract, rather than fund shortfalls, if specified performance levels are not achieved. However, in limited cases, we are obligated to fund performance shortfalls. As of March 31, 2014, we had six contracts containing performance guarantees, with expirations ranging from 2018 to 2030, and possible cash outlays totaling approximately $150 million. Our obligations under these guarantees in future periods are dependent on the operating performance levels of these hotels over the remaining terms of the performance guarantees. We do not have any letters of credit pledged as collateral against these guarantees. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we recorded current liabilities of approximately $9 million as of each date and non-current liabilities of approximately $49 million and $51 million, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for obligations under our outstanding performance guarantees that are related to certain VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary.
	As of March 31, 2014, we had outstanding commitments under third-party contracts of approximately $133 million for capital expenditures at certain owned and leased properties, including our consolidated VIEs. Our contracts contain clauses that allow us to cancel all or some portion of the work. If cancellation of a contract occurred, our commitment would be any costs incurred up to the cancellation date, in addition to any costs associated with the discharge of the contract.
	We have entered into an agreement with a developer in Las Vegas, Nevada, whereby we have agreed to purchase residential units from the developer that we will convert to timeshare units to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. Subject to certain conditions, we are required to purchase approximately $92 million of inventory ratably over a maximum period of four years, which is equivalent to purchases of approximately $6 million per quarter. We began purchasing inventory during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and as of March 31, 2014, we had purchased $46 million of inventory under this agreement. As of March 31, 2014, our contractual obligations pursuant to this agreement for the remainder of 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, were $18 million, $24 million and $4 million.
	During 2010, an affiliate of our Sponsor settled a $75 million liability on our behalf in conjunction with a lawsuit settlement by entering into service contracts with the plaintiff. We recorded the portion settled by this affiliate as a capital contribution. Additionally, as part of the settlement, we entered into a guarantee with the plaintiff to pay any shortfall that this affiliate does not fund related to those service contracts up to the value of the settlement amount made by the affiliate. The remaining potential exposure under this guarantee as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $45 million. We have not accrued a liability for this guarantee as we believe the likelihood of any material funding to be remote.
	We are involved in other litigation arising from the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated in accordance with applicable accounting requirements regarding accounting for contingencies. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we expect that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation as of March 31, 2014 will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

	In April 2014, we completed the sale of certain land and easement rights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village to Blackstone in connection with a timeshare project. In addition, Blackstone acquired the rights to the name, plans, designs, contracts and other documents related to the timeshare project. The total consideration received for this transaction was approximately $37 million. We also executed development management, sales and marketing and other agreements with Blackstone, for which we will receive fees in connection with services provided over the term of the respective agreements.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]	'
ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740)	'
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists in the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance of the tax position. The provisions of ASU 2013-11 were effective, prospectively, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. As a result of our adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2014, $108 million of unrecognized tax benefits were reclassified against deferred income tax assets.
ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)	'
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05 ("ASU 2013-05"), Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This ASU clarifies when a cumulative translation adjustment should be released to net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate) within a foreign entity. The provisions of ASU 2013-05 were effective, prospectively, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-08, Discontinued Operations (Topic 205)	'
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 ("ASU 2014-08"), Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU amends guidance on reporting discontinued operations only if the disposal of a component of an entity or group of components of an entity represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The provisions of ASU 2014-08 should be applied prospectively for all disposals of components of an entity and for all businesses that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occurred within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-04, Troubled Debt Restructurings (Subtopic 310-40)	'
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04 ("ASU 2014-04"), Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) - Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This ASU clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and when a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, as well as additional required disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2014-04 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
