Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (the "Parent," or together with its subsidiaries, "Hilton," "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. We are engaged in owning, leasing, managing and franchising hotels, resorts and timeshare properties. As of September 30, 2016 , we owned, leased, managed or franchised 4,774 hotel and resort properties, totaling 781,272 rooms in 104 countries and territories, as well as 46 timeshare properties comprising 7,592 units. As of September 30, 2016 , affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. ("Blackstone") beneficially owned approximately 45.8 percent of our common stock. Spin-off Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. ("HGV") and Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. ("Park") have each filed Registration Statements on Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in which they disclosed financial and other details of our previously announced spin-off transactions (the "spin-offs") of a substantial portion of our ownership business, consisting primarily of our owned hotels located in the U.S., as well as our timeshare business, resulting in two additional independent, publicly traded companies. Completion of each of the spin-offs is subject to several conditions, including the SEC declaring effective the registration statements and final approval of the transactions by our board of directors. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 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, 2015 . 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Accounting Standards In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 ("ASU 2015-03"), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset, which is consistent with the presentation of debt discounts and premiums. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 ("ASU 2015-15"), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements , which clarifies that absent authoritative guidance in ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the staff of the SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. We adopted ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 retrospectively as of January 1, 2016. As a result, approximately $94 million of debt issuance costs that were previously presented in other non-current assets as of December 31, 2015 are now included within long-term debt and timeshare debt. We elected to continue presenting the debt issuance costs related to our line-of-credit arrangements within other non-current assets. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 ("ASU 2015-02"), Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . This ASU modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. We elected, as permitted by the standard, to adopt ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016 using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of January 1, 2016 of approximately $5 million . Additionally, certain consolidated entities that were not previously considered variable interest entities ("VIEs") prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-02 were considered to be VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary and continue to be consolidated following adoption; prior period VIE disclosures do not include the balances or activity associated with these VIEs. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09"), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This ASU is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The provisions of ASU 2016-09 are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of this ASU contain specific transition guidance for each amendment. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 ("ASU 2016-02"), Leases (Topic 842) , which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in Leases (Topic 840) and generally requires all leases, including operating leases, to be recognized in the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) , and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Subsequent to ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several related ASUs. The provisions of ASU 2014-09 and the related ASUs are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and are to be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating our method of adoption and the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Disposals [Abstract]
Disposals	Disposals Hilton Sydney In July 2015, we completed the sale of the Hilton Sydney for a purchase price of 442 million Australian dollars ("AUD") (equivalent to $340 million as of the closing date). As a result of the sale, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $163 million included in gain on sales of assets, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The pre-tax gain was net of transaction costs, a goodwill reduction of $36 million and a reclassification of a currency translation adjustment of $25 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings concurrent with the disposition. The goodwill reduction was due to our consideration of the Hilton Sydney property as a business within our ownership segment; therefore, we reduced the carrying amount of our goodwill by the amount representing the fair value of the business disposed relative to the fair value of the portion of our ownership reporting unit goodwill that was retained. Waldorf Astoria New York In February 2015, we completed the sale of the Waldorf Astoria New York for a purchase price of $1.95 billion , and we repaid in full the existing mortgage loan secured by the Waldorf Astoria New York property (the "Waldorf Astoria Loan") of approximately $525 million . As a result of the sale, we recognized a gain of $143 million included in gain on sales of assets, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The gain was net of transaction costs and a goodwill reduction of $185 million . The goodwill reduction was due to our consideration of the Waldorf Astoria New York property as a business within our ownership segment; therefore, we reduced the carrying amount of our goodwill by the amount representing the fair value of the business disposed relative to the fair value of the portion of our ownership reporting unit goodwill that was retained. Additionally, we recognized a loss of $6 million in other gain (loss), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the reduction of the Waldorf Astoria Loan's remaining carrying amount of debt issuance costs.

Investments in Affiliates	Investments in Affiliates Investments in affiliates were as follows: September 30, December 31, 2016 2015 (in millions) Equity investments $ 123 $ 129 Other investments 9 9 $ 132 $ 138 We maintain investments in affiliates accounted for under the equity method, which are primarily investments in entities that owned or leased 15 and 16 hotels as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. These entities had total debt of approximately $960 million and $959 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Substantially all of the debt is secured solely by the affiliates' assets or is guaranteed by other partners without recourse to us.

Variable Interest Entity, Primary Beneficiary, Does Not Hold Majority Voting Interest, Disclosures [Abstract]
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities	Consolidated Variable Interest Entities As of September 30, 2016 , we consolidated nine VIEs: six that own or lease hotel properties; two that are associated with our timeshare financing receivables securitization transactions that both issued debt (collectively, the "Securitized Timeshare Debt"); and one management company. As of December 31, 2015 , prior to adoption of ASU 2015-02, we consolidated three VIEs that owned or leased hotel properties and two that issued our Securitized Timeshare Debt. Of the four additional entities considered to be VIEs following the adoption of ASU 2015-02, two were previously consolidated by us and two were unconsolidated investments in affiliates. We are the primary beneficiaries of these VIEs as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb their losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to them. The assets of our VIEs are only available to settle the obligations of these entities. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , our condensed consolidated balance sheets included the assets and liabilities of the nine and five VIEs, respectively, which primarily comprised the following: September 30, December 31, 2016 2015 (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 73 $ 46 Restricted cash and cash equivalents 22 15 Accounts receivable, net 18 19 Property and equipment, net 265 72 Financing receivables, net 268 350 Deferred income tax assets 69 62 Other non-current assets 63 52 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other 51 35 Long-term debt 395 219 Timeshare debt 268 353 During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , 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. In June 2015, one of our consolidated VIEs modified the terms of its capital lease, resulting in a reduction in long-term debt of $24 million . This amount was recognized as a gain in other gain (loss), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , as the capital lease asset had previously been fully impaired.

(2) Net of unamortized deferred financing costs expected to be amortized in the next twelve months. Senior Notes In August 2016, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.25% senior notes due 2024 (the "2024 Senior Notes") and incurred $20 million of debt issuance costs. Interest on the 2024 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2017. The 2024 Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by us and certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Senior Secured Credit Facility Our senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Secured Credit Facility") consists of a $1.0 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a senior secured term loan facility (the "Term Loans"). In August 2016, we amended the Term Loans pursuant to which $3,225 million of outstanding Term Loans were converted into a new tranche of Term Loans due October 25, 2023 with interest of LIBOR plus 2.50 percent. In connection with the modification of the Term Loans, we recognized an $8 million discount as a reduction to long-term debt and $4 million of other debt issuance costs included in other gain (loss), net. As of September 30, 2016 , we had $45 million of letters of credit outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and a borrowing capacity of $955 million . CMBS and Mortgage Loans In February 2015, we repaid the $525 million Waldorf Astoria Loan concurrent with the sale of the Waldorf Astoria New York. See Note 4 : " Disposals " for further information on the transaction. We also assumed a $450 million mortgage loan secured by the Bonnet Creek Resort (the "Bonnet Creek Loan") as a result of an acquisition. See Note 3 : " Acquisitions " for further information on the transaction. In September 2016, we made prepayments of $991 million on our commercial mortgage-backed securities loan (the "CMBS Loan") in exchange for the release of certain collateral. Our CMBS Loan, which was secured by 20 of our U.S. owned real estate assets as of September 30, 2016, and the Bonnet Creek Loan require us to deposit with the lenders certain cash reserves for restricted uses. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , our condensed consolidated balance sheets included $68 million and $49 million , respectively, of restricted cash and cash equivalents related to these loans. Timeshare Debt Timeshare debt balances, and associated interest rates as of September 30, 2016 , were as follows: September 30, December 31, 2016 2015 (in millions) Timeshare Facility with a rate of 1.83%, due 2019 $ 150 $ 150 Securitized Timeshare Debt with an average rate of 1.97%, due 2026 270 356 420 506 Less: current maturities of timeshare debt (1) (80 ) (110 ) Less: unamortized deferred financing costs (3 ) (4 ) $ 337 $ 392 ____________ (1) Net of unamortized deferred financing costs expected to be amortized in the next twelve months. In August 2016, we amended the terms of the Timeshare Facility to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity from $300 million to $450 million , allowing us to borrow up to the maximum amount until August 2018 and requiring all amounts borrowed to be repaid in August 2019. As a result of the modification, we incurred $3 million of debt issuance costs recognized in other non-current assets. We are required to deposit payments received from customers on the pledged timeshare financing receivables and securitized timeshare financing receivables related to the Timeshare Facility and Securitized Timeshare Debt, respectively, into a depository account maintained by a third party. On a monthly basis, the depository account will be used to make any required principal, interest and other payments due with respect to the Timeshare Facility and Securitized Timeshare Debt. The balance in the depository account, totaling $15 million and $17 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, was included in restricted cash and cash equivalents in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt Maturities The contractual maturities of our debt as of September 30, 2016 were as follows: Long-term Debt Timeshare Debt Year (in millions) 2016 (remaining) $ 116 $ 23 2017 104 74 2018 (1) 2,492 51 2019 (1) 478 186 2020 1,062 47 Thereafter (1) 5,843 39 $ 10,095 $ 420 ____________ (1) We assumed all extensions that are solely at our option for purposes of calculating maturity dates.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , derivatives were used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with variable-rate debt as required by certain loan agreements, as well as foreign exchange risk associated with certain foreign currency denominated cash balances. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 , we dedesignated four interest rate swaps that were previously designated as cash flow hedges as they no longer met the criteria for hedge accounting. These interest rate swaps, which swapped three-month LIBOR on the Term Loans to a fixed rate of 1.87 percent , expire in October 2018 and, as of September 30, 2016 , had an aggregate notional amount of $1.45 billion . As of September 30, 2016 , we also held one interest rate cap in the notional amount of $862 million , for the variable-rate component of the CMBS Loan, that expires in November 2016 and caps one-month LIBOR at 6.9 percent , and one interest rate cap in the notional amount of $337 million that expires in May 2017 and caps one-month LIBOR at 3.0 percent on the Bonnet Creek Loan. We did not elect to designate any of these interest rate caps as hedging instruments. As of September 30, 2016 , we held 65 short-term foreign exchange forward contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $348 million to offset exposure to fluctuations in our foreign currency denominated cash balances. We elected not to designate these foreign exchange forwar d contracts as hedging instruments. Fair Value of Derivative Instruments The effects of our derivative instruments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows: Fair Value September 30, December 31, Balance Sheet Classification 2016 2015 (in millions) Cash Flow Hedge: Interest rate swaps Other liabilities N/A $ 15 Non-designated Hedges: Interest rate swaps Other liabilities $ 21 N/A Interest rate caps (1) Other current assets — — Forward contracts Other current assets 2 1 Forward contracts Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other 1 1 ____________ (1) The fair value of our interest rate caps was less than $1 million as of December 31, 2015 . Earnings Effect of Derivative Instruments The effects of our derivative instruments on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) before any effect for income taxes were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Classification of Gain (Loss) Recognized 2016 2015 2016 2015 (in millions) Cash Flow Hedges: Interest rate swaps (1) Other comprehensive income (loss) $ 3 $ (10 ) $ (7 ) $ (18 ) Non-designated Hedges: Interest rate swaps Other gain (loss), net (1 ) N/A (1 ) N/A Interest rate swaps (2) Interest expense (1 ) N/A (1 ) N/A Forward contracts Loss on foreign currency transactions 4 6 7 12 ____________ (1) There were no amounts recognized in earnings related to hedge ineffectiveness or amounts excluded from hedge effectiveness testing during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 . (2) The amounts recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are related to the dedesignation of these instruments as cash flow hedges and were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as the underlying transactions occurred.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements We did not elect the fair value measurement option for any of our financial assets or liabilities. The fair value of certain financial instruments and the hierarchy level we used to estimate fair values are shown below: September 30, 2016 Hierarchy Level Carrying Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in millions) Assets: Cash equivalents $ 513 $ — $ 513 $ — Restricted cash equivalents 12 — 12 — Timeshare financing receivables (1) 992 — — 1,110 Liabilities: Long-term debt (2)(3) 9,668 1,603 — 8,248 Timeshare debt (3) 417 — — 420 Interest rate swaps 21 — 21 — December 31, 2015 Hierarchy Level Carrying Amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in millions) Assets: Cash equivalents $ 327 $ — $ 327 $ — Restricted cash equivalents 18 — 18 — Timeshare financing receivables (1) 976 — — 1,080 Liabilities: Long-term debt (2)(3) 9,673 1,619 — 8,267 Timeshare debt (3) 502 — — 506 Interest rate swaps 15 — 15 — ____________ (1) Carrying amount includes allowance for loan loss. (2) Excludes capital lease obligations with a carrying value of $277 million and $245 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, and debt of certain consolidated VIEs with a carrying value of $39 million and $32 million , respectively. (3) Carrying amount includes unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts. The fair values of financial instruments not included in this table are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . 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. 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 weighted-average interest rates of the current portfolio, which reflect the risk of the underlying notes, primarily determined by the creditworthiness of the borrowers. 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 3 long-term debt were based on: (i) indicative quotes received for similar issuances; (ii) the expected future cash flows discounted at risk-adjusted rates; or (iii) the carrying value, where the interest rates approximated current market rates. The estimated fair values of our Level 3 timeshare debt were based on the carrying values, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, as the interest rates approximated current market rates. 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.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes At the end of each quarter we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full 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. The lower effective tax rate, as compared to our statutory tax rate, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , was primarily attributable to changes in our uncertain tax positions. Our total unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $248 million and $407 million , respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we released $220 million of reserves related to unrecognized tax benefits that we have either settled or determined that we are more likely than not to receive the full benefit for. In April 2014, we received 30-day Letters from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the Revenue Agents Report ("RAR") for the 2006 and October 2007 tax years. We disagreed with several of the proposed adjustments in the RAR, filed a formal appeals protest with the IRS and did not make any tax payments related to this audit. The issues being protested in appeals relate to assertions by the IRS that: (1) certain foreign currency denominated intercompany loans from our foreign subsidiaries to certain U.S. subsidiaries should be recharacterized as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and constitute deemed dividends from such foreign subsidiaries to our U.S. subsidiaries; (2) in calculating the amount of U.S. taxable income resulting from our Hilton HHonors guest loyalty program, we should not reduce gross income by the estimated costs of future redemptions, but rather such costs would be deductible at the time the points are redeemed; and (3) certain foreign currency denominated loans issued by one of our Luxembourg subsidiaries whose functional currency is U.S. dollar ("USD"), should instead be treated as issued by one of our Belgian subsidiaries whose functional currency is the euro, and thus foreign currency gains and losses with respect to such loans should have been measured in euros, instead of USD. Additionally, in January 2016, we received a 30-day Letter from the IRS and the RAR for the December 2007 through 2010 tax years. The RAR includes the proposed adjustments for tax years December 2007 through 2010 which reflect the carryover effect of the three protested issues from 2006 through October 2007. These proposed adjustments will also be protested in appeals and formal appeals protests have been submitted. In total, the proposed adjustments sought by the IRS would result in additional U.S. federal tax owed of approximately $874 million , excluding interest and penalties and potential state income taxes. The portion of this amount related to our Hilton HHonors guest loyalty program would result in a decrease to our future tax liability when the points are redeemed. We disagree with the IRS's position on each of these assertions and intend to vigorously contest them. However, as a result of recent developments related to the appeals process discussions that have taken place during 2016, we have determined based on on-going discussions with the IRS, it is more likely than not that we will not recognize the full benefit related to certain of the issues being appealed. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2016 , we have recognized a $44 million unrecognized tax benefit. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. We had accrued approximately $26 million and $27 million for the payment of interest and penalties as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , 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 $1 million . Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $208 million and $377 million , respectively, associated with positions that, if favorably resolved, would provide a benefit to our effective tax rate. 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 and other taxing authorities 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 September 30, 2016 , we remain subject to federal examinations from 2005-2015, state examinations from 2003-2015 and foreign examinations of our income tax returns for the years 1996 through 2015. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing the respective return; however, the state effect 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.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	Employee Benefit Plans 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., 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, 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 net periodic pension cost for our employee benefit plans was $1 million and $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $4 million and $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation We issue time-vesting restricted stock units ("RSUs"), nonqualified stock options ("options"), performance-vesting restricted stock units and restricted stock (collectively, "performance shares") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). We recognized share-based compensation expense of $26 million and $22 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $70 million and $143 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, which included amounts reimbursed by hotel owners. Share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included $66 million of compensation expense that was recognized when certain remaining awards granted in connection with our initial public offering vested during 2015. As of September 30, 2016 , unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards was approximate l y $116 million , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 ye ars on a straight-line basis. As of September 30, 2016 , there wer e 62,204,701 sha res of common stock available for future issuance. RSUs During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we issued 3,507,714 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $19.91 , which generally vest in equal annual installments over two or three years from the date of grant. Options During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we issued 1,509,451 options with an exercise price of $19.61 , which vest over three years from the date of grant and terminate 10 years from the date of grant or earlier if the individual’s service terminates in certain circumstances. The grant date fair value of these options was $5.47 , which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Expected volatility (1) 32.00 % Dividend yield (2) 1.43 % Risk-free rate (3) 1.36 % Expected term (in years) (4) 6.0 ____________ (1) Due to limited trading history of 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 in addition to our historical and implied volatility. 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) Estimated based on the expected annualized dividend payment. (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. As of September 30, 2016 , 885,644 option s outstanding were exercisable. Performance Shares During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we issued 1,804,706 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 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 the Company’s earnings before interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") compound annual growth rate ("CAGR"). The grant date fair value of these performance shares based on relative shareholder return was $20.81 , which was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions: Expected volatility (1) 31.00 % Dividend yield (2) — % Risk-free rate (3) 0.92 % Expected term (in years) (4) 2.8 ____________ (1) Due to limited trading history of 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 in addition to our historical and implied volatility. 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) As dividends are assumed to be reinvested in shares of common stock and dividends will not be paid to the participants of the performance shares unless the shares vest, we utilized a dividend yield of zero percent. (3) Based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar expected lives. (4) Midpoint of the 30-calendar day period preceding the end of the performance period. The grant date fair value of these performance shares based on our EBITDA CAGR was $19.61 . For these shares, we determined that the performance condition is probable of achievement and as of September 30, 2016 , we recognized compensation expense based on the anticipated achievement percentage as follows: Achievement Percentage 2014 grants 125 % 2015 grants 88 % 2016 grants 63 % DSUs During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we issued to our independent directors 34,259 DSUs with a grant date fair value of $22.04 , which are fully vested and non-forfeitable on the grant date. DSUs are settled for shares of our common stock and deliverable upon the earlier of termination of the individual's service on our board of directors or a change in control.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
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 included 142 properties totaling 57,868 rooms, comprising 120 hotels that we wholly owned or leased, one hotel owned by a consolidated non-wholly owned entity, six hotels owned or leased by consolidated VIEs and 15 hotels that are owned or leased by unconsolidated affiliates, as of September 30, 2016 . While we do not include equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our measure of segment revenues, we manage these investments in our ownership segment and the results are included in our measure of segment profits. 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. As of September 30, 2016 , this segment included 545 managed hotels and 4,087 franchised hotels totaling 4,632 hotels consisting of 723,404 rooms. 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, resort operations and providing timeshare customer financing for the timeshare interests. This segment also provides assistance to third-party developers in selling their timeshare inventory. As of September 30, 2016 , this segment included 46 timeshare properties totaling 7,592 units. 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, further adjusted to exclude certain items, including 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 compensation expense; (viii) severance, relocation and other expenses; and (ix) other items.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	Commitments and Contingencies As of September 30, 2016 , we had outstanding guarantees of $25 million , with remaining terms ranging from four years to six years , for debt and other obligations of third parties. We have one letter of credit for $25 million that has been pledged as collateral for one 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 September 30, 2016 , we had eight contracts containing performance guarantees, with expirations ranging from 2017 to 2030 , and possible cash outlays totaling approximately $89 million . Our obligations in future periods depend 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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we recorded a current liability of approximately $8 million in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other and a non-current liability of approximately $20 million and $25 million , respectively, in other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for an outstanding performance guarantee that is related to a VIE for which we are not the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2016 , we had outstanding commitments under third-party contracts of approximately $74 million for capital expenditures at certain owned and leased properties. Our contracts contain clauses that allow us to cancel all or some portion of the work. If cancellation of a contract occurs, 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 an affiliate of the owner of a hotel whereby we have agreed to provide a $60 million junior mezzanine loan to finance the construction of a new hotel that we will manage. The junior mezzanine loan will be subordinated to a senior mortgage loan and senior mezzanine loan provided by third parties unaffiliated with us and will be funded on a pro rata basis with these loans as the construction costs are incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , we funded $25 million and $11 million of this commitment, respectively, and we currently expect to fund the remainder of our commitment as follows: $10 million in the remainder of 2016 and $8 million in 2017. We have entered into certain arrangements with developers whereby we have committed to purchase timeshare units at a future date to be marketed and sold under our Hilton Grand Vacations brand. As of September 30, 2016 , we are committed to purchase approximately $195 million of inventory over a period of four years. The ultimate amount and timing of the acquisitions is subject to change pursuant to the terms of the respective arrangements, which could also allow for cancellation in certain circumstances. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , we purchased $11 million and $17 million , respectively, of inventory as required under our commitments. As of September 30, 2016 , our remaining contractual obligations pursuant to these arrangements were expected to be incurred as follows: $3 million in the remainder of 2016; $8 million in 2017; $56 million in 2018; and $128 million in 2019. In 2010, an affiliate of Blackstone settled a $75 million liability on our behalf in conjunction with a lawsuit settlement by entering into service contracts with the plaintiff. 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 as of September 30, 2016 was approximately $14 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 in the normal course of business, some of which includes claims for substantial sums. 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 September 30, 2016 will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Condensed Consolidating Guarantor Financial Information [Abstract]
Condensed Consolidating Guarantor Financial Information	Condensed Consolidating Guarantor Financial Information In October 2013, Hilton Worldwide Finance LLC and Hilton Worldwide Finance Corp. ("the Subsidiary Issuers"), entities formed in August 2013 that are 100 percent owned by the Parent, issued $1.5 billion of 5.625% senior notes due in 2021 (the "2021 Senior Notes"). In August 2016, Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc., an entity formed in August 2016 that is 100 percent owned by Hilton Worldwide Finance LLC and a guarantor of the 2021 Senior Notes, issued the 2024 Senior Notes. The 2021 Senior Notes and 2024 Senior Notes are referred to as the Senior Notes. The obligations of the Subsidiary Issuers are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by the Parent and certain of the Parent's 100 percent owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (together, the "Guarantors"). The indentures that govern the Senior Notes provide that any subsidiary of the Company that provides a guarantee of the Senior Secured Credit Facility will guarantee the Senior Notes. None of our foreign subsidiaries or U.S. subsidiaries owned by foreign subsidiaries or conducting foreign operations; our non-wholly owned subsidiaries; our subsidiaries that secure the CMBS Loan and $446 million in mortgage loans; or certain of our special purpose subsidiaries formed in connection with our Timeshare Facility and Securitized Timeshare Debt guarantee the Senior Notes (collectively, the "Non-Guarantors"). The guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions. The indentures that govern the Senior Notes provide that any Guarantor may be released from its guarantee so long as: (i) the subsidiary is sold or sells all of its assets; (ii) the subsidiary is released from its guaranty under the Senior Secured Credit Facility; (iii) the subsidiary is declared "unrestricted" for covenant purposes; or (iv) the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the indenture have been satisfied. The following schedules present the condensed consolidating financial information as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , for the Parent, Subsidiary Issuers, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
ASU 2015-03, ASU 2015-15 Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs	In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 ("ASU 2015-03"), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset, which is consistent with the presentation of debt discounts and premiums. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 ("ASU 2015-15"), Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements , which clarifies that absent authoritative guidance in ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the staff of the SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. We adopted ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 retrospectively as of January 1, 2016. As a result, approximately $94 million of debt issuance costs that were previously presented in other non-current assets as of December 31, 2015 are now included within long-term debt and timeshare debt. We elected to continue presenting the debt issuance costs related to our line-of-credit arrangements within other non-current assets.
ASU 2015-02 Consolidation	In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 ("ASU 2015-02"), Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . This ASU modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. We elected, as permitted by the standard, to adopt ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016 using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of January 1, 2016 of approximately $5 million . Additionally, certain consolidated entities that were not previously considered variable interest entities ("VIEs") prior to the adoption of ASU 2015-02 were considered to be VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary and continue to be consolidated following adoption; prior period VIE disclosures do not include the balances or activity associated with these VIEs.
ASU 2016-09 Stock Compensation	In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09"), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . This ASU is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The provisions of ASU 2016-09 are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of this ASU contain specific transition guidance for each amendment. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-02 Leases	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 ("ASU 2016-02"), Leases (Topic 842) , which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in Leases (Topic 840) and generally requires all leases, including operating leases, to be recognized in the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09 and Related ASUs Revenue Recognition	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) , and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Subsequent to ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several related ASUs. The provisions of ASU 2014-09 and the related ASUs are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and are to be applied retrospectively or using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating our method of adoption and the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Schedule of Share-based Payment Award, Stock Options, Valuation Assumptions [Table Text Block]	The grant date fair value of these options was $5.47 , which was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Expected volatility (1) 32.00 % Dividend yield (2) 1.43 % Risk-free rate (3) 1.36 % Expected term (in years) (4) 6.0 ____________ (1) Due to limited trading history of 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 in addition to our historical and implied volatility. 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) Estimated based on the expected annualized dividend payment. (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.
Schedule of Share Based Payment Award, Performance Shares, Valuation Assumptions [Table Text Block]	The grant date fair value of these performance shares based on relative shareholder return was $20.81 , which was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions: Expected volatility (1) 31.00 % Dividend yield (2) — % Risk-free rate (3) 0.92 % Expected term (in years) (4) 2.8 ____________ (1) Due to limited trading history of 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 in addition to our historical and implied volatility.
