Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial position of Hilton as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Principles of Consolidation Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries and other non-wholly owned entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which we are the primary beneficiary. Non-wholly owned entities in which we have a controlling financial interest generally comprise majority owned entities that own or lease real estate. The determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the terms of the governing agreements of the respective entities, including the evaluation of rights held by third-party ownership interests. If the entity is considered to be a VIE, we evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary and then consolidate those VIEs for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through our voting shares in the entity, and, if we do, we consolidate the entity. We hold interests in VIEs, for which we are not the primary beneficiary, that may provide us with the option to acquire an additional interest in such an entity at a predetermined amount, if certain contingent events occur. In a circumstance that we exercise or have the ability to exercise our option to acquire an additional interest in a VIE, we would reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we would be required to consolidate the total assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VIE on the date that we became the primary beneficiary. If such consolidation is required, the amounts may be material. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References in these financial statements to net income (loss) attributable to Hilton stockholders and Hilton stockholders' equity (deficit) do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the third-party ownership interests of our consolidated, non-wholly owned entities and are reported separately. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. In particular, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic (the "COVID-19 pandemic" or the "pandemic") had an adverse impact on certain of our results for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020; however, our results experienced significant recovery during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, the period most impacted by the pandemic. The years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, as well as upcoming periods, may not be comparable to periods prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic or to other periods affected by the pandemic, and are not indicative of future performance. Management has made estimates and judgments in light of these circumstances. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition Revenues are primarily derived from: (i) fees earned from management and franchise contracts with third-party hotel owners; (ii) fees earned from license agreements with strategic partners, including co-branded credit card providers, and Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. ("HGV"); and (iii) our owned and leased hotels. The majority of our performance obligations are promises to provide a series of distinct goods or services, for which we receive variable consideration through our management and franchise fees or fixed consideration through our owned and leased hotels. We allocate the variable fees to the distinct services to which they relate applying the prescribed variable consideration allocation guidance, and we allocate fixed consideration to the related performance obligations based on their estimated standalone selling prices. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be twelve months or less. Additionally, we do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers. However, in response to cash flow deficiencies experienced by certain hotel owners, such as those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we may amend certain contracts with customers to provide short-term payment relief, expecting that we will collect most amounts outstanding in twelve months or less. Management and franchise revenues We identified the following performance obligations in connection with our management and franchise contracts: • IP licenses grant the right to access our hotel system IP, including brand IP, reservations systems and property management systems. • Hotel management services include providing day-to-day management services in the operation of the hotels for the hotel owners. • Development services include providing consultative services (e.g., design assistance and contractor selection) to the third-party hotel owner to assist with the construction of the hotel prior to the hotel opening. • Pre-opening services include providing services (e.g., advertising, budgeting, e-commerce strategies and food and beverage testing) to the third-party hotel owner to assist in preparing for the hotel opening. • Rewards from Hilton Honors, our guest loyalty program, provide substantive rights for free or discounted goods or services to Hilton Honors members. Each of the identified performance obligations is considered to be a series of distinct services transferred over time, except for the performance obligation related to Hilton Honors rewards, which is satisfied at the point in time when the Hilton Honors point is redeemed by the Hilton Honors member. While the underlying activities may vary from day to day, the nature of the commitments are the same each day, and the property owner can independently benefit from each day's services. Management and franchise fees are typically based on the sales or usage of the underlying hotel, with the exception of fixed upfront fees, which usually represent an insignificant portion of the transaction price. Franchise and licensing fees represent fees earned in connection with the licensing of one of our brands, usually under long-term contracts with the hotel owner, and may also include fees from licensing agreements for the use of our IP, and include the following: • Royalty fees are generally based on a percentage of the hotel's monthly gross room revenue and, in some cases, may also include a percentage of gross food and beverage revenues and other revenues, as applicable. These fees are typically billed and collected monthly, and revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. • Application, initiation and other fees are charged when: (i) new hotels enter our system; (ii) there is a change of ownership of a hotel; or (iii) contracts with hotels already in our system are extended. These fees are typically fixed and collected upfront and are recognized as revenue over the term of the franchise contract. We do not consider this advance consideration to include a significant financing component, since it is used to protect us from the hotel owner failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract, including establishing and maintaining the hotel in accordance with our standards. • Licensing fees are earned from: (i) strategic partnerships, including from co-branded credit card arrangements, which are recognized as revenue when points for Hilton Honors are issued, generally as spend with the strategic partner or co-branded credit card provider occurs (see further discussion below under "Hilton Honors") and (ii) a license agreement with HGV to use our IP in its timeshare business, which are typically billed monthly, and revenue is generally recognized at the same time the fees are billed. Management fees represent fees earned from hotels that we manage, usually under long-term contracts with the hotel owner, and include the following: • Base management fees are generally based on a percentage of the hotel's monthly gross revenue. Base fees are typically billed and collected monthly, and revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. • Incentive management fees are generally based on a percentage of the hotel's operating profits, normally over a one-calendar year period (the "incentive period"), and, in some cases, may be subject to a stated return threshold to the hotel owner. Incentive fee revenue is recognized on a monthly basis, but only to the extent the cumulative fee earned does not exceed the probable fee for the incentive period. Incentive fee payment terms vary, but they are generally billed and collected monthly or annually upon completion of the incentive period. Consideration paid or anticipated to be paid to incentivize hotel owners to enter into management and franchise contracts with us is amortized over the life of the applicable contract, generally including any extension periods that are at our sole option, as a reduction to base and other management fees and franchise and licensing fees, respectively. We do not estimate revenues expected to be recognized related to our unsatisfied performance obligations for our: (i) royalty fees, since they are considered sales-based royalty fees recognized as hotel room sales occur in exchange for licenses of our IP over the terms of the franchise contracts and (ii) other licensing fees and base management fees and incentive management fees since they are allocated entirely to the wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer IP or provide management services, respectively, which form part of a single performance obligation in a series, over the term of the individual contract. Other revenues from managed and franchised properties represent amounts that are contractually reimbursed to us by property owners, either directly as costs are incurred or indirectly through monthly program fees related to certain costs and expenses supporting the operations of the related properties, and include the following: • Direct reimbursements include payroll and related costs and certain other operating costs of the managed and franchised properties' operations, which are contractually reimbursed to us by the property owners as expenses are incurred. Revenue is recognized based on the amount of expenses incurred by Hilton, which are presented as other expenses from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations, that are then reimbursed to us by the property owner typically on a monthly basis, which results in no net effect on operating income (loss) or net income (loss). • Indirect reimbursements include marketing expenses and other expenses associated with our brand programs and shared services, which are paid from program fees collected by Hilton from our managed and franchised properties. Indirect reimbursements are typically billed and collected monthly, based on the underlying hotel's sales or usage (such as gross room revenue or number of reservations processed), and revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. System implementation fees charged to property owners are deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the management or franchise contract. The expenses incurred by Hilton to operate the marketing and brand programs and shared services are recognized as incurred and presented as other expenses from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations and are expected to equal the revenues earned from indirect reimbursements over time. The management and franchise fees and reimbursements from third-party property owners are allocated to the performance obligations and the distinct services to which they relate using their estimated standalone selling prices. The terms of the fees earned under the contract relate to a specific outcome of providing the services (e.g., hotel room sales) or to Hilton's efforts (e.g., costs) to satisfy the performance obligations. Using time as the measure of progress, we recognize fee revenue and indirect reimbursements in the period earned per the terms of the contract and revenue related to direct reimbursements in the period in which the cost is incurred. Owned and leased hotels revenues We identified the following performance obligations in connection with our owned and leased hotels revenues, with such revenues recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied, which results in recognizing the amount we expect to be entitled to for providing the goods or services: • Cancellable room reservations or ancillary services are typically satisfied as the good or service is transferred to the hotel guest, which is generally when the room stay occurs. • Noncancellable room reservations and banquet or conference reservations represent a series of distinct goods or services provided over time and satisfied as each distinct good or service is provided, which is reflected by the duration of the reservation. • Substantive rights for free or discounted goods or services are satisfied when the underlying free or discounted good or service is provided to the hotel guest. • Other ancillary goods and services are purchased independently of the room reservation at standalone selling prices and are considered separate performance obligations, which are satisfied when the related good or service is provided to the hotel guest. • Components of package reservations for which each component could be sold separately to other hotel guests are considered separate performance obligations and are satisfied as set forth above. Owned and leased hotels revenues primarily consist of hotel room sales, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services (e.g., package reservations), food and beverage sales and sales of other ancillary goods and services (e.g., parking) related to consolidated owned and leased hotels. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered, respectively. Payment terms typically align with when the goods and services are provided. Owned and leased hotels revenues are reduced upon issuance of Hilton Honors points for Hilton Honors members' paid stay transactions and are recognized when Hilton Honors points are redeemed for a free or discounted stay at an owned or leased hotel (see the "Hilton Honors" section below for additional information). Although the transaction prices of hotel room sales, goods and other services are generally fixed and based on the respective room reservation or other agreement, an estimate to reduce the transaction price is required if a discount is expected to be provided to the customer. For package reservations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations within the package based on the estimated standalone selling prices of each component. On occasion, the hotel may also provide the customer with a substantive right to a free or discounted good or service in conjunction with a room reservation or banquet contract (e.g., free breakfast or free room night for every four room nights reserved). This substantive right is considered a separate performance obligation to which a portion of the transaction price is allocated based on the estimated standalone selling price of the good or service, adjusted for the likelihood the hotel guest will exercise such right, and it is recognized as revenue when the good or service is redeemed. Other revenues Other revenues include revenues generated by the incidental support of hotel operations for owned, leased, managed and franchised hotels, including purchasing operations, and other operating income. Purchasing revenues include any amounts received for vendor rebate arrangements that we participate in on behalf of the hotels in our system. Taxes and fees collected on behalf of governmental agencies We are required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of governmental agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. We have a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. We do not retain these taxes and fees, and, therefore, they are not included in our measurement of transaction prices. We have elected to present revenue net of sales taxes and other similar taxes. We record a liability when the amounts are collected and relieve the liability when payments are made to the applicable taxing authority or other appropriate governmental agency. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities, when purchased, of three months or less. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents include cash balances established as collateral for certain guarantees and insurance, including self-insurance and furniture, fixtures and equipment replacement ("FF&E") reserves required under certain lease agreements. Allowance for Credit Losses An allowance for credit losses is provided on our financial instruments, primarily accounts receivable. Our expected credit losses are based on historical collection activity, the nature of the financial instrument, geographic considerations and current and forecasted business conditions. Goodwill Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. In connection with the 2007 transaction whereby we became a wholly owned subsidiary of affiliates of Blackstone Inc. (the "Merger"), we recorded goodwill representing the excess purchase price over the fair value of the other identified assets and liabilities. We do not amortize goodwill, but rather evaluate goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or at other times during the year if indicators of impairment exist. Our reporting units are the same as our operating segments as described in Note 17: "Business Segments." We evaluate goodwill for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. When we evaluate goodwill for potential impairment, generally, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If we determine qualitatively that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or if we decide to bypass the qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative analysis. The quantitative analysis is used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The estimated fair value is based on internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans, as well as market conditions relative to the operations of our reporting units. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Brands Certain brand intangible assets were initially recorded at their fair value at the time of the Merger, using the relief-from-royalty valuation approach or the excess earnings method, depending on the contract type. At the time of the Merger, our portfolio of brands, and those for which we recorded intangible assets, consisted of Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton, Embassy Suites by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton and our timeshare brand, Hilton Grand Vacations. There are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful lives of these brands, and, accordingly, the useful lives of these brands are considered to be indefinite. A portion of our brands intangible assets are denominated in foreign currencies and, as such, a period over period change in these assets is attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. All brands that were launched subsequent to the Merger, which, as of December 31, 2022, included LXR Hotels & Resorts, Canopy by Hilton, Signia by Hilton, Curio Collection by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Tempo by Hilton, Motto by Hilton, Tru by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton, were not assigned fair values, and we do not have any intangible assets for these brands recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. We evaluate our indefinite-lived brands intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or at other times during the year if indicators of impairment exist. When we evaluate our brands intangible assets for potential impairment, generally, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value. If we determine qualitatively that the fair value of an asset is more likely than not less than its carrying value, or if we decide to bypass the qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative analysis. The estimated fair value of the brand is based on internal projections of expected future cash flows. If a brand intangible asset's estimated fair value is less than its respective carrying value, the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized in our consolidated statement of operations as an impairment loss. Intangible Assets with Finite Useful Lives Certain finite-lived intangible assets were initially recorded at their fair value at the time of the Merger. These intangible assets consisted of management contracts, franchise contracts, leases, certain proprietary technologies and our Hilton Honors guest loyalty program. The intangible assets related to the franchise contracts, U.S. management contracts and certain proprietary technologies were fully amortized as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, we capitalize consideration paid to incentivize hotel owners to enter into management and franchise contracts with us as contract acquisition costs and the incremental costs to obtain the contracts as development commissions and other, both of which are generally fixed. We also capitalize costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software and costs to acquire software licenses, as well as internal and external costs incurred in connection with the development of upgrades or enhancements that result in additional information technology functionality. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives, which for contract acquisition costs and development commissions and other is the contract term, generally including any extension periods that are at our sole option. These estimated useful lives are generally as follows: international management contracts recorded at the Merger (16 years); management contract acquisition costs and development commissions and other (20 to 30 years); franchise contract acquisition costs and development commissions and other (10 to 20 years); leases (16 to 35 years); Hilton Honors (16 years); and capitalized software costs (3 years). In our consolidated statement of operations, the amortization of these intangible assets, excluding contract acquisition costs, is included in depreciation and amortization expenses, and the amortization of contract acquisition costs is recognized as a reduction to franchise and licensing fees or base and other management fees, depending on the contract type. Costs incurred prior to the acquisition of a contract, such as external legal costs, are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. Cash flows for contract acquisition costs and development commissions and other are included as operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows, and cash flows for capitalized software costs are included as investing activities. We evaluate the carrying value of all finite-lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment, and, if such indicators exist, we perform an analysis to determine the recoverability of the asset group by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows to the net carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable and it exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group, we recognize an impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We allocate the impairment loss related to the asset group among the various assets within the asset group pro rata based on the relative carrying values of the respective assets. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Costs of improvements that extend the economic life or improve service potential are also capitalized. Capitalized costs are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Costs for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets of finance leases are included in property and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheets; refer to "Leases" below for additional information. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are generally: (i) 8 to 40 years for buildings and improvements; (ii) 3 to 8 years for furniture and equipment; and (iii) 3 to 5 years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life, based on the estimates above, or the remaining lease term. We evaluate the carrying value of our property and equipment for indicators of impairment, and, if such indicators exist, we perform an analysis to determine the recoverability of the asset group by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to the net carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable and it exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group, we recognize an impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We allocate the impairment loss related to the asset group among the various assets within the asset group pro rata based on the relative carrying values of the respective assets. If sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation, including environmental remediation liabilities, we recognize the fair value of the obligation when the obligation is incurred, which is generally upon acquisition, construction or development or through the normal operation of the asset. Leases We determine if a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract, and we classify that lease as a finance lease if it meets certain criteria or as an operating lease when it does not. We reassess if a contract is or contains a lease upon modification of the contract. We have elected to account for the components in contracts in which we are the lessee, that contain fixed payments for both lease and non-lease components, as a single lease component. At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a lease liability for future fixed lease payments and a ROU asset representing our right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the future fixed lease payments that will be made over the lease term. The lease term includes lessor options to renew the lease within the lessor's control and lessee options to extend the lease and periods occurring after a lessee early termination option, only to the extent it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such extension options and not exercise such early termination options, respectively. The future fixed lease payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease, if available, or our incremental borrowing rate. Current and long-term portions of operating lease liabilities are classified as accounts payable, accrued expenses and other and operating lease liabilities, respectively, and current and long-term portions of finance lease liabilities are classified as current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. The ROU asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability with adjustments, if applicable, for lease prepayments made prior to or at lease commencement, initial direct costs incurred by us, deferred rent and lease incentives. In our consolidated balance sheets, ROU assets of operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and ROU assets of finance leases are included in property and equipment, net. We evaluate the carrying value of our ROU assets for indicators of impairment, and, if such indicators exist, we perform an analysis to determine the recoverability of the asset group by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to the net carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable and it exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group, we recognize an impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We allocate the impairment loss related to an asset group among the various assets within the asset group pro rata based on the relative carrying values of the respective assets. Depending on the individual agreement, our operating leases may require: (i) fixed lease payments, or minimum payments, as contractually stated in the lease agreement; (ii) variable lease payments, which, for our hotels, are generally based on a percentage of the underlying asset's revenues or profits or result from changes in inflationary indices; and/or (iii) lease payments equal to the greater of the fixed or variable lease payments. In addition, during the term of our hotel leases, we may be required to pay some, or all, of the capital costs for FF&E and leasehold improvements in the hotel property. For operating leases, lease expense relating to fixed payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and lease expense related to variable payments is expensed as incurred, with amounts recognized in owned and leased hotels expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations. For operating leases for which the ROU asset has been impaired, the lease expense is determined as the sum of the amortization of the ROU asset remaining after impairment, if any, on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease and the accretion of the lease liability based on the discount rate applied to the lease liability. For finance leases, the amortization of the asset is recognized over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset within depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations. The interest expense related to finance leases, including any variable lease payments, is recognized in interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities relate to: (i) advance consideration received from hotel owners at contract inception for services considered to be part of the contract's performance obligations, such as application, initiation and other fees; (ii) advance consideration received for certain indirect reimbursements, such as system implementation fees; (iii) amounts received when points are issued under Hilto

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities	Consolidated Variable Interest Entities As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we consolidated two VIEs that each lease one hotel property, both of which are located in Japan. We consolidated these VIEs since we are the primary beneficiary, having the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Additionally, we have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that could be significant to each of the VIEs individually. The assets of our consolidated VIEs are only available to settle the obligations of the respective entities, and the liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to us. Our consolidated balance sheets include the assets and liabilities of these entities, including the effect of foreign currency translation, which primarily comprised the following: December 31, 2022 2021 (in millions) Cash and cash equivalents $ 29 $ 18 Property and equipment, net 45 60 Deferred income tax assets 52 62 Other non-current assets 55 62 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other 21 15 Long-term debt (1) 152 179 Other long-term liabilities 14 16 ____________ (1) Includes finance lease liabilities of $115 million and $153 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2022, our consolidated VIEs borrowed an aggregate of 2.7 billion Japanese yen ("JPY"), of which 0.3 billion JPY was repaid during the year ended December 31, 2022, resulting in 2.4 billion JPY (equivalent to $18 million) of those borrowings remaining outstanding as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, these remaining borrowings were included in long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet and had a weighted average interest rate of 1.04 percent and maturity dates ranging from August 2025 to February 2029. As of December 31, 2021, one of our consolidated VIEs had drawn 500 million JPY (equivalent to $4 million) under a revolving credit facility, which was fully repaid by July 2022; these borrowings were included in long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

("HOC"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent and the issuer of all of the series of Senior Notes. (2) Long-term debt of our consolidated variable interest entities is included in finance lease liabilities and other debt of consolidated VIEs as applicable; refer to Note 4: "Consolidated Variable Interest Entities" for additional information. (3) Represents current maturities of finance lease liabilities and borrowings of one consolidated VIE. Senior Secured Credit Facilities Our senior secured credit facilities consist of a senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a senior secured term loan facility. The obligations of our senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Parent and substantially all of its direct and indirect wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, except for HOC, the named borrower on the senior secured credit facilities. In December 2022, we amended the credit agreement that governs our senior secured credit facilities to reference the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as the primary benchmark rate for our variable-rate indebtedness under this agreement in lieu of the London Interbank Offered Rate. We applied the practical expedient as prescribed in ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting that allowed us to consider this amendment as though the modification was not substantial. As of December 31, 2022, our Revolving Credit Facility had a total borrowing capacity of $1.75 billion and, of the $250 million available in the form of letters of credit, $60 million letters of credit were outstanding, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $1,690 million. No borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. In January 2023, we amended the credit agreement governing our Revolving Credit Facility to increase the borrowing capacity to $2.0 billion, $250 million of which is available in the form of letters of credit, and, based on the terms of the agreement, we expect the extended maturity date to be January 2028. In connection with this amendment, we incurred approximately $9 million of debt issuance costs. As of February 3, 2023, after considering $60 million letters of credit outstanding and no borrowings outstanding, we had an available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility of $1,940 million . Senior Notes During 2021 and 2020, we completed financing transactions, whereby we issued senior unsecured notes and used the net proceeds from those issuances, together with available cash, to redeem outstanding senior unsecured notes. In connection with the redemptions, we paid redemption premiums of $55 million and $31 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and accelerated the recognition of the unamortized deferred financing costs on the redeemed notes of $14 million and $17 million, respectively. These amounts were included in loss on debt extinguishments in our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. During 2020, we also issued in aggregate $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes. Debt Maturities The contractual maturities of our long-term debt as of December 31, 2022 were as follows: Year (in millions) 2023 $ 39 2024 33 2025 526 2026 2,658 2027 617 Thereafter 4,947 $ 8,820

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The fair values of certain financial instruments and the hierarchy level we used to estimate the fair values are shown below: December 31, 2022 Hierarchy Level Carrying Value (1) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in millions) Assets: Cash equivalents $ 338 $ — $ 338 $ — Interest rate swap (2) 108 — 108 — Liabilities: Long-term debt (3) 8,619 5,292 — 2,616 December 31, 2021 Hierarchy Level Carrying Value (1) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (in millions) Assets: Cash equivalents $ 622 $ — $ 622 $ — Liabilities: Long-term debt (3) 8,619 6,180 — 2,599 Interest rate swaps (2) 41 — 41 — ____________ (1) The fair values of financial instruments not included in these tables are estimated to be equal to their carrying values. (2) Interest rate swaps are included in other non-current assets or other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet depending on their value to us as of the balance sheet date. During the year ended December 31, 2022, one of the interest rate swaps that was outstanding as of December 31, 2021 matured. The remaining interest rate swap outstanding as of December 31, 2022 will mature in March 2026. (3) The carrying value and fair values exclude the deduction for unamortized deferred financing costs and any applicable discounts, as well as all finance lease liabilities and other debt of consolidated VIEs; refer to Note 8: Debt for additional information. We measure our interest rate swaps at fair value, which was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis that reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs of similar instruments, including interest rate curves, as applicable. Our nonfinancial assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the year ended December 31, 2020, and for which we recorded impairment losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, were primarily related to certain hotel properties under operating and finance leases and goodwill, all of which were part of our ownership reporting unit. See Note 5: "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," Note 6: "Property and Equipment" and Note 11: "Leases" for additional information on these impairment losses. For the quantitative analysis of goodwill that was performed during the year ended December 31, 2020, we estimated the fair value of the ownership reporting unit using discounted cash flow analyses and significant level 3 unobservable inputs, which included an estimate of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the reporting unit's expected future cash flows, a stabilized growth rate after recovery and the present value of the reporting unit's terminal value. The expected future cash flows were discounted using a discount rate that reflected the market rate of return. As a result of the non-recurring fair value measurement, we fully impaired the goodwill attributable to our ownership reporting unit, recognizing impairment losses of $104 million in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we estimated the fair value of assets related to certain hotel properties under operating and finance leases, including related lease intangible assets, operating and finance lease ROU assets and property and equipment, using discounted cash flow analyses and significant level 3 unobservable inputs, which included an estimate of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each leased property based on the expected recovery term, stabilized growth rates after recovery and discount rates reflecting the risk profile of the underlying cash flows and the individual markets where the assets are located. As a result of these non-recurring fair value measurements, we recognized impairment losses on these assets of $139 million in our consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Lessee Disclosure [Abstract]
Lessee Lease Disclosures	Leases We lease hotel properties, land, corporate office space and equipment used at hotels and corporate offices, with our most significant lease liabilities related to hotel properties. As of December 31, 2022, we leased 42 hotels under operating leases and five hotels under finance leases, two of which were the liabilities of consolidated VIEs, which are non-recourse to us. Our hotel leases expire at various dates, with varying renewal and termination options. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized $65 million and $4 million of impairment losses related to certain operating lease and finance lease ROU assets, respectively; see Note 10: "Fair Value Measurements" for additional information. Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: December 31, 2022 2021 (dollars in millions) Operating leases: Operating lease right-of-use assets (1) $ 662 $ 694 Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other 112 140 Operating lease liabilities 832 870 Finance leases: Property and equipment, net $ 33 $ 33 Current maturities of long-term debt 38 50 Long-term debt 126 158 Weighted average remaining lease term: Operating leases 11.3 years 11.0 years Finance leases 6.1 years 7.0 years Weighted average discount rate: Operating leases 4.22 % 3.87 % Finance leases 5.90 % 5.88 % ____________ (1) Operating lease ROU assets attributed to U.S. operations was $78 million and $37 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and to operations outside the U.S. was $584 million and $657 million, respectively, most significantly in the U.K. and Germany. The components of lease expense were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in millions) Operating lease expense for fixed payments $ 113 $ 125 $ 129 Finance lease expense: Amortization of ROU assets 21 23 26 Fixed interest on lease liabilities 10 13 14 Variable lease expense (1) 139 35 17 ____________ (1) Includes amounts related to variable rent expense for operating leases and variable interest expense for finance leases.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income Tax Provision (Benefit) The domestic and foreign components of income (loss) before income taxes were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in millions) U.S. income (loss) before income taxes $ 1,320 $ 631 $ (267) Foreign income (loss) before income taxes 414 (71) (657) Income (loss) before income taxes $ 1,734 $ 560 $ (924) The components of our provision (benefit) for income taxes were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in millions) Current: Federal $ 306 $ 89 $ (6) State 81 45 (32) Foreign 56 23 69 Total current 443 157 31 Deferred: Federal 16 51 (102) State 6 (14) (34) Foreign 12 (41) (99) Total deferred 34 (4) (235) Total provision (benefit) for income taxes $ 477 $ 153 $ (204) Reconciliations of the provision (benefit) for income taxes at the U.S. statutory rate to the provision (benefit) for income taxes were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in millions) Statutory U.S. federal income tax provision (benefit) $ 364 $ 118 $ (194) State income taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefit 65 22 (24) Impact of foreign operations 35 8 (106) Goodwill impairment losses — — 22 Tax rate differential on U.S. federal net operating loss carryback — — (14) Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances (5) 34 116 Income tax rate changes (1) — (45) — Provision for uncertain tax positions 14 15 7 Other, net 4 1 (11) Provision (benefit) for income taxes $ 477 $ 153 $ (204) ____________ (1) Income tax rate changes resulted in the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and other tax liabilities to the new tax rates, resulting in a $49 million deferred tax benefit and a $4 million current tax expense, respectively. Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income taxes represent the tax effect of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities plus carryforward items. The tax effects of the temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to our net deferred taxes were as follows: December 31, 2022 2021 (in millions) Deferred tax assets: Net tax loss carryforwards and carrybacks $ 641 $ 649 Compensation 117 101 Reserves 66 76 Operating and finance lease liabilities 301 341 Deferred income 271 278 Foreign tax credit carryforwards 49 48 Other 102 144 Total gross deferred tax assets 1,547 1,637 Less: valuation allowance (649) (669) Deferred tax assets 898 968 Deferred tax liabilities: Brands (1,151) (1,152) Finite-lived intangible assets (40) (61) Investment in foreign subsidiaries (22) (24) Operating and finance lease ROU assets (206) (218) Other (10) — Deferred tax liabilities (1,429) (1,455) Net deferred taxes $ (531) $ (487) As of December 31, 2022, we had gross U.S. separate return limitation year loss carryforwards and foreign operating loss carryforwards of $2.6 billion, resulting in deferred tax assets of $641 million. Approximately $41 million of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 related to loss carryforwards that will expire between 2023 and 2042 with less than $1 million of that amount expiring in 2023. Approximately $600 million of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 resulted from loss carryforwards that are not subject to expiration. We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain U.S. and foreign loss carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this assessment, we provided valuation allowances totaling $494 million as of December 31, 2022 on the deferred tax assets relating to these loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2022, we also had deferred tax assets for U.S. tax credit carryforwards of $49 million that will expire between 2029 and 2032, for which we have provided valuation allowances. Tax Uncertainties We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. We are under regular and recurring audit by the Internal Revenue Service ("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 federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions or from the resolution of various proceedings between the U.S. and foreign tax authorities. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's federal income tax returns remain subject to examination by the IRS for tax years from 2005 through 2022. Various income tax returns filed with state, local and foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities. Reconciliations of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in millions) Balance at beginning of year $ 375 $ 451 $ 395 Additions for tax positions related to prior years 1 33 45 Additions for tax positions related to the current year 3 2 56 Reductions for tax positions related to prior years (32) (39) (13) Settlements — (66) (37) Lapse of statute of limitations (5) (2) (1) Currency translation adjustment (5) (4) 6 Balance at end of year $ 337 $ 375 $ 451 As of December 31, 2021, we had entered into a tentative agreement with the IRS, subject to approval by the Joint Committee on Taxation, to settle our federal examination through the 2010 tax year, and the settlement was approved by the Joint Committee on Taxation during the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the extended federal statute of limitations for tax years from 2005 through 2010 is set to expire in 2023. The assets and liabilities relating to the settlement were previously recognized as of December 31, 2021, and no adjustments were necessary as a result of the settlement approval. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to uncertain tax positions in income tax benefit (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we recognized income tax expense related to interest and penalties of $17 million, $16 million and $13 million, respectively, in our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had accrued approximately $79 million and $65 million, respectively, for interest and penalties related to our unrecognized tax benefits in our consolidated balance sheets. Included in the balances of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $337 million and $343 million, respectively, associated with positions that, if favorably resolved, would provide a benefit to our effective income tax rate. As a result of the expected resolution of examination issues with foreign tax authorities, we believe it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to $32 million.

Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Benefit Plans	12 Months Ended

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	Employee Benefit Plans We sponsor multiple domestic and international employee benefit plans (the "pension plans"), and the benefits are based upon years of service and compensation. The employee benefit plan in the U.S. (the "Domestic Plan") covers certain employees not earning union benefits. This plan was frozen for participant benefit accruals in 1996; therefore, the projected benefit obligation is equal to the accumulated benefit obligation. The plan assets will be used to pay benefits due to employees for service through December 31, 1996. Since employees have not accrued additional benefits from that time, we do not utilize salary or pension inflation assumptions in calculating our benefit obligation for the Domestic Plan. The employee benefit plans covering certain of our international employees include: (i) a plan that covers employees in the U.K. (the "U.K. Plan"), which was frozen to further service accruals in 2013 and (ii) a number of smaller plans that cover employees in various countries around the world (the "International Plans"). The annual measurement date for all of our plans is December 31. We are required to recognize the funded status of our pension plans, which is the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations, in our consolidated balance sheets and make corresponding adjustment s for changes in the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. The following table presents the projected benefit obligation, fair value of plan assets, funded status and accumulated benefit obligation for the Domestic Plan, the U.K. Plan and the International Plans: Domestic Plan U.K. Plan International Plans 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 (in millions) Change in projected benefit obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 370 $ 399 $ 490 $ 541 $ 81 $ 90 Service cost — — 2 2 2 1 Interest cost 8 6 8 5 2 2 Actuarial gain (1) (71) (11) (152) (32) (10) (3) Settlements — — — — — (1) Effect of foreign currency exchange rates — — (49) (4) (4) (4) Benefits paid (23) (24) (13) (22) (7) (4) Benefit obligation at end of year $ 284 $ 370 $ 286 $ 490 $ 64 $ 81 Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 374 $ 343 $ 505 $ 485 $ 71 $ 70 Actual return on plan assets, net of expenses (80) 44 (186) 36 (3) 7 Employer contributions — 11 21 11 2 2 Settlements — — — — — (1) Effect of foreign currency exchange rates — — (50) (5) (3) (3) Benefits paid (23) (24) (13) (22) (7) (4) Fair value of plan assets at end of year 271 374 277 505 60 71 Funded status at end of year (underfunded) (13) 4 (9) 15 (4) (10) Accumulated benefit obligation $ 284 $ 370 $ 286 $ 490 $ 64 $ 81 ____________ (1) The actuarial gains during the year ended December 31, 2022 were primarily related to increases in the discount rate assumptions.

(2) Recognized in other non-operating income (loss), net in our consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations were as follows: Domestic Plan U.K. Plan International Plans 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Discount rate 5.6 % 2.8 % 4.8 % 1.9 % 4.4 % 2.3 % Salary inflation N/A N/A 2.6 2.6 2.4 2.3 Pension inflation N/A N/A 3.1 3.1 2.1 1.9 The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost (credit) were as follows: Domestic Plan U.K. Plan International Plans 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 2020 2022 2021 2020 Discount rate 2.9 % 2.6 % 3.2 % 1.9 % 1.3 % 2.1 % 2.2 % 1.7 % 2.0 % Expected return on plan assets 6.3 6.3 6.3 5.0 4.5 5.0 2.7 2.4 2.7 Salary inflation N/A N/A N/A 2.6 2.1 1.6 2.3 2.2 2.2 Pension inflation N/A N/A N/A 3.1 2.7 2.8 1.9 1.8 1.9 The investment objectives for the various plans are preservation of capital, current income and long-term growth of capital. All plan assets are managed by third-party investment managers and do not include investments in Hilton stock. Asset allocations are reviewed periodically by the investment managers. Expected long-term returns on plan assets are determined using historical performance for debt and equity securities held by our plans, actual performance of plan assets and current and expected market conditions. Expected returns are formulated based on the target asset allocation. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the target asset allocation, as a percentage of total plan assets, for the Domestic Plan was 70 percent and 75 percent, respectively, in funds that invest in equity securities and 30 percent and 25 percent, respectively, in funds that invest in debt securities. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the target asset allocation, as a percentage of total plan assets, for the U.K. Plan and International Plans was 75 percent in funds that invest in equity and debt securities and 25 percent in bond funds. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy of total plan assets measured at fair value by asset category: December 31, 2022 Domestic Plan U.K. Plan International Plans (in millions) Level 1 Cash $ — $ 13 $ 12 Equity funds — — 3 Bond funds 6 — — Level 2 Equity funds — — 4 Bond funds — 35 6 Net asset value (1) Cash equivalents — 24 — Bond funds — 44 — Common collective trusts 265 — 35 Alternative investments — 111 — Other — 50 — $ 271 $ 277 $ 60 December 31, 2021 Domestic Plan U.K. Plan International Plans (in millions) Level 1 Cash $ — $ 12 $ 12 Equity funds — — 3 Bond funds 3 42 — Level 2 Equity funds — — 4 Bond funds — 34 6 Net asset value (1) Cash equivalents — 34 — Equity funds — 86 Bond funds — 69 — Common collective trusts 371 — 46 Alternative investments — 168 — Other — 60 — $ 374 $ 505 $ 71 ____________ (1) Certain investments are measured at net asset value per share as a practical expedient and, therefore, have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2022, the benefits expected to be paid in the next five years and in the aggregate for the five years thereafter were as follows: Domestic Plan U.K. Plan International Plans Year (in millions) 2023 $ 33 $ 13 $ 9 2024 26 13 4 2025 26 13 3 2026 25 14 3 2027 25 14 3 2028-2032 110 77 15 $ 245 $ 144 $ 37 In 2007, the Domestic Plan and plans maintained for certain domestic hotels currently or formerly managed by us were merged into a multiple employer plan. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the multiple employer plan had combined plan assets of $294 million and $405 million, respectively, and a projected benefit obligation of $303 million

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation We recognized share-based compensation expense of $162 million, $193 million and $97 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respective ly, which included amounts reimbursed by hotel owners, and the related tax benefit recognized was $48 million, $54 million and $35 million, respectively . Share-based compensation expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 included the reversal of expense recognized in prior years as a result of the determination that the performance conditions of our then-outstanding performance shares were no longer probable of achievement. Further, in December 2020, we modified our then-outstanding performance shares in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to reward for results achieved prior to the pandemic and incentivize our recovery efforts, with a portion of the awards modified to vest based on continued service and the remaining portion of the awards to vest based on new performance measures. As a result of this modification, our share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 includes incremental share-based compensation of $25 million, $70 million and $44 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation costs for unvested awards under the 2017 Plan were approximately $119 million, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years on a straight-line basis. As of December 31, 2022, there were 11.4 million remaining shares authorized for awards under the 2017 Plan, including any shares subject to awards outstanding under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan that will become available for issuance under the 2017 Plan if such outstanding awards expire or are terminated or are canceled or forfeited. RSUs The following table provides information about our RSU grants: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Number of shares granted (in thousands) 507 589 942 Weighted average grant date fair value per share $ 150.58 $ 123.13 $ 93.48 Aggregate intrinsic value of shares vested (in millions) $ 97 $ 94 $ 97 The following table summarizes the activity of our RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2022: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share (in thousands) Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 1,246 $ 105.28 Granted 507 150.58 Vested (682) 99.63 Forfeited (58) 124.25 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 1,013 130.68 Options The following table provides information about our option grants: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Number of options granted (in thousands) 318 361 755 Weighted average exercise price per share $ 150.67 $ 123.13 $ 93.33 Weighted average grant date fair value per share $ 51.15 $ 41.15 $ 21.47 The weighted average grant date fair value per share of the option grants for each year was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Expected volatility (1) 33.28 % 33.13 % 23.69 % Dividend yield (2) 0.41 % — % 0.55 % Risk-free rate (3) 1.93 % 0.92 % 0.96 % Expected term (in years) (4) 6.0 6.0 6.0 ____________ (1) Estimated using a blended approach of historical and implied volatility. Historical volatility is based on the historical movement of Hilton's stock price for a look back period that corresponds to the expected term of the option. (2) For options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020, dividend yield was estimated based on our historical quarterly dividends. However, after the 2020 options were granted, we suspended the declaration and payment of dividends, and, at the time of grant for the 2021 options, we could not estimate when the payment of dividends would resume. For the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2022, dividend yield was estimated based on the expectation, at the date of grant, of the resumption of a quarterly $0.15 per share dividend, which occurred in the second quarter of 2022. For option grants made during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020, the three month average stock price at the date of grant was also utilized in the dividend yield calculation. (3) Based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar expected terms at the date of grant. (4) Estimated using the midpoint of the vesting period and the contractual term of the options. The following table summarizes the activity of our options during the year ended December 31, 2022: Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share (in thousands) Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 2,803 $ 80.03 Granted 318 150.67 Exercised (100) 69.88 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 (1) 3,021 87.61 Exercisable as of December 31, 2022 (2) 2,246 74.39 ____________ (1) The aggregate intrinsic value was $125 million and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 5.9 years. (2) The aggregate intrinsic value was $117 million and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 5.1 years.

Business Segments

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business segments	Business Segments We are a hospitality company with operations organized in two distinct operating segments: (i) management and franchise and (ii) ownership, each of which is reported as a segment based on (a) delivering a similar set of products and services; and (b) being managed separately given its distinct economic characteristics. The management and franchise segment includes all of the hotels we manage for third-party owners, as well as all franchised hotels that license our IP and where we provide other contracted services to third-party owners, but the day-to-day services of the hotels are operated or managed by someone other than us. Revenues from this segment include: (i) management and franchise fees charged to third-party hotel owners; (ii) licensing fees from our strategic partners, including co-branded credit card providers, and HGV for the right to use our IP; and (iii) fees for managing hotels in our ownership segment. As of December 31, 2022, this segment included 778 managed hotels and 6,255 franchised hotels consisting of 1,096,115 total rooms. As of December 31, 2022, our ownership segment included 52 properties totaling 17,612 rooms. The segment comprised 45 hotels that we leased, two hotels that were each leased by a consolidated VIE and five hotels owned or leased by unconsolidated affiliates. In December 2022, one non-wholly owned consolidated hotel and one of our leased hotels exited our system, and, therefore, they are not included in the number of owned and leased hotels as of December 31, 2022, although the results of operations of the hotels are consolidated in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 for the period prior to their exit. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the operations of certain of our hotels were suspended for some period of time. However, substantially all of the hotels in our management and franchise segment had re-opened by the end of 2021 and have remained open and operating since then. All of the hotels in our ownership segment that had suspended operations at some point in time as a result of the pandemic were open as of December 31, 2021. The performance of our operating segments is evaluated primarily on operating income (loss), without allocating amortization of contract acquisition costs, other revenues and other expenses, other revenues and other expenses from managed and franchised properties, depreciation and amortization expenses or general and administrative expenses, and does not include equity in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates. Our chief operating decision maker does not use assets by operating segment when assessing performance or making operating segment resource allocations. The following table presents revenues for our reportable segments, reconciled to consolidated amounts: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 (in millions) Franchise and licensing fees $ 2,085 $ 1,508 $ 956 Base and other management fees (1) 338 203 144 Incentive management fees 196 98 38 Management and franchise 2,619 1,809 1,138 Ownership 1,076 598 421 Segment revenues 3,695 2,407 1,559 Amortization of contract acquisition costs (38) (32) (29) Other revenues 102 79 73 Direct reimbursements from managed and franchised properties (2) 2,441 1,503 1,375 Indirect reimbursements from managed and franchised properties (2) 2,596 1,841 1,332 Intersegment fees elimination (1) (23) (10) (3) Total revenues $ 8,773 $ 5,788 $ 4,307 ____________ (1) Includes management, royalty and IP fees charged to consolidated hotels in our ownership segment by our management and franchise segment, which were eliminated in our consolidated statements of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies We provide performance guarantees to certain owners of hotels that we operate under management contracts. Most of these guarantees do not require us to fund shortfalls, but allow for termination of the contract, if specified operating performance levels are not achieved. However, in limited cases, we are obligated to fund performance shortfalls, creating variable interests in the ownership entities of the hotels, of which we are not the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2022, we had performance guarantees with expirations ranging from 2025 to 2043 and possible cash outlays totaling approximately $7 million. Our obligations under these guarantees in future periods are dependent on the operating performance level of the related hotel over the remaining term of the performance guarantee for that particular hotel. As of December 31, 2022, we had extended debt guarantees and letters of credit with expirations ranging from 2023 to 2031 and potential cash outlays totaling $124 million to owners of certain hotels that we currently or in the future will manage or franchise. We receive fees from managed and franchised properties that we are contractually required to use to operate our marketing, sales and brand programs on behalf of hotel owners. If we collect amounts in excess of amounts expended, we have a commitment to spend these amounts on the related programs. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, amounts expended on behalf of these programs exceeded the amounts collected.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries and other non-wholly owned entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which we are the primary beneficiary. Non-wholly owned entities in which we have a controlling financial interest generally comprise majority owned entities that own or lease real estate. The determination of a controlling financial interest is based upon the terms of the governing agreements of the respective entities, including the evaluation of rights held by third-party ownership interests. If the entity is considered to be a VIE, we evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary and then consolidate those VIEs for which we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. If the entity in which we hold an interest does not meet the definition of a VIE, we evaluate whether we have a controlling financial interest through our voting shares in the entity, and, if we do, we consolidate the entity. We hold interests in VIEs, for which we are not the primary beneficiary, that may provide us with the option to acquire an additional interest in such an entity at a predetermined amount, if certain contingent events occur. In a circumstance that we exercise or have the ability to exercise our option to acquire an additional interest in a VIE, we would reassess whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If we determine that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we would be required to consolidate the total assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VIE on the date that we became the primary beneficiary. If such consolidation is required, the amounts may be material. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References in these financial statements to net income (loss) attributable to Hilton stockholders and Hilton stockholders' equity (deficit) do not include noncontrolling interests, which represent the third-party ownership interests of our consolidated, non-wholly owned entities and are reported separately.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and, accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. In particular, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic (the "COVID-19 pandemic" or the "pandemic") had an adverse impact on certain of our results for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020; however, our results experienced significant recovery during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, the period most impacted by the pandemic. The years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, as well as upcoming periods, may not be comparable to periods prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic or to other periods affected by the pandemic, and are not indicative of future performance. Management has made estimates and judgments in light of these circumstances.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues are primarily derived from: (i) fees earned from management and franchise contracts with third-party hotel owners; (ii) fees earned from license agreements with strategic partners, including co-branded credit card providers, and Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. ("HGV"); and (iii) our owned and leased hotels. The majority of our performance obligations are promises to provide a series of distinct goods or services, for which we receive variable consideration through our management and franchise fees or fixed consideration through our owned and leased hotels. We allocate the variable fees to the distinct services to which they relate applying the prescribed variable consideration allocation guidance, and we allocate fixed consideration to the related performance obligations based on their estimated standalone selling prices. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be twelve months or less. Additionally, we do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers. However, in response to cash flow deficiencies experienced by certain hotel owners, such as those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we may amend certain contracts with customers to provide short-term payment relief, expecting that we will collect most amounts outstanding in twelve months or less. Management and franchise revenues We identified the following performance obligations in connection with our management and franchise contracts: • IP licenses grant the right to access our hotel system IP, including brand IP, reservations systems and property management systems. • Hotel management services include providing day-to-day management services in the operation of the hotels for the hotel owners. • Development services include providing consultative services (e.g., design assistance and contractor selection) to the third-party hotel owner to assist with the construction of the hotel prior to the hotel opening. • Pre-opening services include providing services (e.g., advertising, budgeting, e-commerce strategies and food and beverage testing) to the third-party hotel owner to assist in preparing for the hotel opening. • Rewards from Hilton Honors, our guest loyalty program, provide substantive rights for free or discounted goods or services to Hilton Honors members. Each of the identified performance obligations is considered to be a series of distinct services transferred over time, except for the performance obligation related to Hilton Honors rewards, which is satisfied at the point in time when the Hilton Honors point is redeemed by the Hilton Honors member. While the underlying activities may vary from day to day, the nature of the commitments are the same each day, and the property owner can independently benefit from each day's services. Management and franchise fees are typically based on the sales or usage of the underlying hotel, with the exception of fixed upfront fees, which usually represent an insignificant portion of the transaction price. Franchise and licensing fees represent fees earned in connection with the licensing of one of our brands, usually under long-term contracts with the hotel owner, and may also include fees from licensing agreements for the use of our IP, and include the following: • Royalty fees are generally based on a percentage of the hotel's monthly gross room revenue and, in some cases, may also include a percentage of gross food and beverage revenues and other revenues, as applicable. These fees are typically billed and collected monthly, and revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. • Application, initiation and other fees are charged when: (i) new hotels enter our system; (ii) there is a change of ownership of a hotel; or (iii) contracts with hotels already in our system are extended. These fees are typically fixed and collected upfront and are recognized as revenue over the term of the franchise contract. We do not consider this advance consideration to include a significant financing component, since it is used to protect us from the hotel owner failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract, including establishing and maintaining the hotel in accordance with our standards. • Licensing fees are earned from: (i) strategic partnerships, including from co-branded credit card arrangements, which are recognized as revenue when points for Hilton Honors are issued, generally as spend with the strategic partner or co-branded credit card provider occurs (see further discussion below under "Hilton Honors") and (ii) a license agreement with HGV to use our IP in its timeshare business, which are typically billed monthly, and revenue is generally recognized at the same time the fees are billed. Management fees represent fees earned from hotels that we manage, usually under long-term contracts with the hotel owner, and include the following: • Base management fees are generally based on a percentage of the hotel's monthly gross revenue. Base fees are typically billed and collected monthly, and revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. • Incentive management fees are generally based on a percentage of the hotel's operating profits, normally over a one-calendar year period (the "incentive period"), and, in some cases, may be subject to a stated return threshold to the hotel owner. Incentive fee revenue is recognized on a monthly basis, but only to the extent the cumulative fee earned does not exceed the probable fee for the incentive period. Incentive fee payment terms vary, but they are generally billed and collected monthly or annually upon completion of the incentive period. Consideration paid or anticipated to be paid to incentivize hotel owners to enter into management and franchise contracts with us is amortized over the life of the applicable contract, generally including any extension periods that are at our sole option, as a reduction to base and other management fees and franchise and licensing fees, respectively. We do not estimate revenues expected to be recognized related to our unsatisfied performance obligations for our: (i) royalty fees, since they are considered sales-based royalty fees recognized as hotel room sales occur in exchange for licenses of our IP over the terms of the franchise contracts and (ii) other licensing fees and base management fees and incentive management fees since they are allocated entirely to the wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer IP or provide management services, respectively, which form part of a single performance obligation in a series, over the term of the individual contract. Other revenues from managed and franchised properties represent amounts that are contractually reimbursed to us by property owners, either directly as costs are incurred or indirectly through monthly program fees related to certain costs and expenses supporting the operations of the related properties, and include the following: • Direct reimbursements include payroll and related costs and certain other operating costs of the managed and franchised properties' operations, which are contractually reimbursed to us by the property owners as expenses are incurred. Revenue is recognized based on the amount of expenses incurred by Hilton, which are presented as other expenses from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations, that are then reimbursed to us by the property owner typically on a monthly basis, which results in no net effect on operating income (loss) or net income (loss). • Indirect reimbursements include marketing expenses and other expenses associated with our brand programs and shared services, which are paid from program fees collected by Hilton from our managed and franchised properties. Indirect reimbursements are typically billed and collected monthly, based on the underlying hotel's sales or usage (such as gross room revenue or number of reservations processed), and revenue is generally recognized as services are provided. System implementation fees charged to property owners are deferred and recognized as revenue over the term of the management or franchise contract. The expenses incurred by Hilton to operate the marketing and brand programs and shared services are recognized as incurred and presented as other expenses from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations and are expected to equal the revenues earned from indirect reimbursements over time. The management and franchise fees and reimbursements from third-party property owners are allocated to the performance obligations and the distinct services to which they relate using their estimated standalone selling prices. The terms of the fees earned under the contract relate to a specific outcome of providing the services (e.g., hotel room sales) or to Hilton's efforts (e.g., costs) to satisfy the performance obligations. Using time as the measure of progress, we recognize fee revenue and indirect reimbursements in the period earned per the terms of the contract and revenue related to direct reimbursements in the period in which the cost is incurred. Owned and leased hotels revenues We identified the following performance obligations in connection with our owned and leased hotels revenues, with such revenues recognized as the respective performance obligations are satisfied, which results in recognizing the amount we expect to be entitled to for providing the goods or services: • Cancellable room reservations or ancillary services are typically satisfied as the good or service is transferred to the hotel guest, which is generally when the room stay occurs. • Noncancellable room reservations and banquet or conference reservations represent a series of distinct goods or services provided over time and satisfied as each distinct good or service is provided, which is reflected by the duration of the reservation. • Substantive rights for free or discounted goods or services are satisfied when the underlying free or discounted good or service is provided to the hotel guest. • Other ancillary goods and services are purchased independently of the room reservation at standalone selling prices and are considered separate performance obligations, which are satisfied when the related good or service is provided to the hotel guest. • Components of package reservations for which each component could be sold separately to other hotel guests are considered separate performance obligations and are satisfied as set forth above. Owned and leased hotels revenues primarily consist of hotel room sales, revenue from accommodations sold in conjunction with other services (e.g., package reservations), food and beverage sales and sales of other ancillary goods and services (e.g., parking) related to consolidated owned and leased hotels. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered, respectively. Payment terms typically align with when the goods and services are provided. Owned and leased hotels revenues are reduced upon issuance of Hilton Honors points for Hilton Honors members' paid stay transactions and are recognized when Hilton Honors points are redeemed for a free or discounted stay at an owned or leased hotel (see the "Hilton Honors" section below for additional information). Although the transaction prices of hotel room sales, goods and other services are generally fixed and based on the respective room reservation or other agreement, an estimate to reduce the transaction price is required if a discount is expected to be provided to the customer. For package reservations, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations within the package based on the estimated standalone selling prices of each component. On occasion, the hotel may also provide the customer with a substantive right to a free or discounted good or service in conjunction with a room reservation or banquet contract (e.g., free breakfast or free room night for every four room nights reserved). This substantive right is considered a separate performance obligation to which a portion of the transaction price is allocated based on the estimated standalone selling price of the good or service, adjusted for the likelihood the hotel guest will exercise such right, and it is recognized as revenue when the good or service is redeemed. Other revenues Other revenues include revenues generated by the incidental support of hotel operations for owned, leased, managed and franchised hotels, including purchasing operations, and other operating income. Purchasing revenues include any amounts received for vendor rebate arrangements that we participate in on behalf of the hotels in our system. Taxes and fees collected on behalf of governmental agencies We are required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of governmental agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental agencies on a periodic basis. We have a legal obligation to act as a collection agent. We do not retain these taxes and fees, and, therefore, they are not included in our measurement of transaction prices. We have elected to present revenue net of sales taxes and other similar taxes. We record a liability when the amounts are collected and relieve the liability when payments are made to the applicable taxing authority or other appropriate governmental agency.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities, when purchased, of three months or less.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents	Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted cash and cash equivalents include cash balances established as collateral for certain guarantees and insurance, including self-insurance and furniture, fixtures and equipment replacement ("FF&E") reserves required under certain lease agreements.
Allowance for Credit Losses	Allowance for Credit Losses An allowance for credit losses is provided on our financial instruments, primarily accounts receivable. Our expected credit losses are based on historical collection activity, the nature of the financial instrument, geographic considerations and current and forecasted business conditions.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. In connection with the 2007 transaction whereby we became a wholly owned subsidiary of affiliates of Blackstone Inc. (the "Merger"), we recorded goodwill representing the excess purchase price over the fair value of the other identified assets and liabilities. We do not amortize goodwill, but rather evaluate goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or at other times during the year if indicators of impairment exist. Our reporting units are the same as our operating segments as described in Note 17: "Business Segments." We evaluate goodwill for potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its fair value. When we evaluate goodwill for potential impairment, generally, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If we determine qualitatively that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or if we decide to bypass the qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative analysis. The quantitative analysis is used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The estimated fair value is based on internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans, as well as market conditions relative to the operations of our reporting units. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Brands	Brands Certain brand intangible assets were initially recorded at their fair value at the time of the Merger, using the relief-from-royalty valuation approach or the excess earnings method, depending on the contract type. At the time of the Merger, our portfolio of brands, and those for which we recorded intangible assets, consisted of Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton, Embassy Suites by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton and our timeshare brand, Hilton Grand Vacations. There are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful lives of these brands, and, accordingly, the useful lives of these brands are considered to be indefinite. A portion of our brands intangible assets are denominated in foreign currencies and, as such, a period over period change in these assets is attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. All brands that were launched subsequent to the Merger, which, as of December 31, 2022, included LXR Hotels & Resorts, Canopy by Hilton, Signia by Hilton, Curio Collection by Hilton, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, Tempo by Hilton, Motto by Hilton, Tru by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton, were not assigned fair values, and we do not have any intangible assets for these brands recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. We evaluate our indefinite-lived brands intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis or at other times during the year if indicators of impairment exist. When we evaluate our brands intangible assets for potential impairment, generally, we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value. If we determine qualitatively that the fair value of an asset is more likely than not less than its carrying value,
Intangible Assets with Finite Useful Lives	Intangible Assets with Finite Useful Lives Certain finite-lived intangible assets were initially recorded at their fair value at the time of the Merger. These intangible assets consisted of management contracts, franchise contracts, leases, certain proprietary technologies and our Hilton Honors guest loyalty program. The intangible assets related to the franchise contracts, U.S. management contracts and certain proprietary technologies were fully amortized as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, we capitalize consideration paid to incentivize hotel owners to enter into management and franchise contracts with us as contract acquisition costs and the incremental costs to obtain the contracts as development commissions and other, both of which are generally fixed. We also capitalize costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software and costs to acquire software licenses, as well as internal and external costs incurred in connection with the development of upgrades or enhancements that result in additional information technology functionality. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives, which for contract acquisition costs and development commissions and other is the contract term, generally including any extension periods that are at our sole option. These estimated useful lives are generally as follows: international management contracts recorded at the Merger (16 years); management contract acquisition costs and development commissions and other (20 to 30 years); franchise contract acquisition costs and development commissions and other (10 to 20 years); leases (16 to 35 years); Hilton Honors (16 years); and capitalized software costs (3 years). In our consolidated statement of operations, the amortization of these intangible assets, excluding contract acquisition costs, is included in depreciation and amortization expenses, and the amortization of contract acquisition costs is recognized as a reduction to franchise and licensing fees or base and other management fees, depending on the contract type. Costs incurred prior to the acquisition of a contract, such as external legal costs, are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. Cash flows for contract acquisition costs and development commissions and other are included as operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows, and cash flows for capitalized software costs are included as investing activities.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Costs of improvements that extend the economic life or improve service potential are also capitalized. Capitalized costs are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Costs for normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets of finance leases are included in property and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheets; refer to "Leases" below for additional information. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives, which are generally: (i) 8 to 40 years for buildings and improvements; (ii) 3 to 8 years for furniture and equipment; and (iii) 3 to 5 years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life, based on the estimates above, or the remaining lease term. We evaluate the carrying value of our property and equipment for indicators of impairment, and, if such indicators exist, we perform an analysis to determine the recoverability of the asset group by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to the net carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable and it exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group, we recognize an impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We allocate the impairment loss related to the asset group among the various assets within the asset group pro rata based on the relative carrying values of the respective assets.
Leases	Leases We determine if a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract, and we classify that lease as a finance lease if it meets certain criteria or as an operating lease when it does not. We reassess if a contract is or contains a lease upon modification of the contract. We have elected to account for the components in contracts in which we are the lessee, that contain fixed payments for both lease and non-lease components, as a single lease component. At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a lease liability for future fixed lease payments and a ROU asset representing our right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the future fixed lease payments that will be made over the lease term. The lease term includes lessor options to renew the lease within the lessor's control and lessee options to extend the lease and periods occurring after a lessee early termination option, only to the extent it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such extension options and not exercise such early termination options, respectively. The future fixed lease payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease, if available, or our incremental borrowing rate. Current and long-term portions of operating lease liabilities are classified as accounts payable, accrued expenses and other and operating lease liabilities, respectively, and current and long-term portions of finance lease liabilities are classified as current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. The ROU asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability with adjustments, if applicable, for lease prepayments made prior to or at lease commencement, initial direct costs incurred by us, deferred rent and lease incentives. In our consolidated balance sheets, ROU assets of operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and ROU assets of finance leases are included in property and equipment, net. We evaluate the carrying value of our ROU assets for indicators of impairment, and, if such indicators exist, we perform an analysis to determine the recoverability of the asset group by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows to the net carrying value of the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is not recoverable and it exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group, we recognize an impairment loss in our consolidated statement of operations for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We allocate the impairment loss related to an asset group among the various assets within the asset group pro rata based on the relative carrying values of the respective assets. Depending on the individual agreement, our operating leases may require: (i) fixed lease payments, or minimum payments, as contractually stated in the lease agreement; (ii) variable lease payments, which, for our hotels, are generally based on a percentage of the underlying asset's revenues or profits or result from changes in inflationary indices; and/or (iii) lease payments equal to the greater of the fixed or variable lease payments. In addition, during the term of our hotel leases, we may be required to pay some, or all, of the capital costs for FF&E and leasehold improvements in the hotel property. For operating leases, lease expense relating to fixed payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and lease expense related to variable payments is expensed as incurred, with amounts recognized in owned and leased hotels expenses, general and administrative expenses and other expenses from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations. For operating leases for which the ROU asset has been impaired, the lease expense is determined as the sum of the amortization of the ROU asset remaining after impairment, if any, on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease and the accretion of the lease liability based on the discount rate applied to the lease liability. For finance leases, the amortization of the asset is recognized over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the underlying asset within depreciation and amortization expenses and other expenses from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations. The interest expense related to finance leases, including any variable lease payments, is recognized in interest expense in our consolidated statement of operations.
Contract Liabilities	Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities relate to: (i) advance consideration received from hotel owners at contract inception for services considered to be part of the contract's performance obligations, such as application, initiation and other fees; (ii) advance consideration received for certain indirect reimbursements, such as system implementation fees; (iii) amounts received when points are issued under Hilton Honors, but for which revenue is not yet recognized, since the related points are not yet redeemed; and (iv) as of December 31, 2021, a portion of the consideration received for the pre-sale of Hilton Honors points. Contract liabilities related to advance consideration received for fees and certain indirect reimbursements are recognized ratably as revenue over the term of the related contract. Contract liabilities related to amounts received for Hilton Honors, excluding the
Hilton Honors	Hilton Honors Hilton Honors is our guest loyalty program provided to our hotel and resort properties. All of our managed, franchised, owned and leased properties participate in the Hilton Honors program. Hilton Honors members earn points based on their spend at our participating properties and through participation in affiliated strategic partner programs, including co-branded credit card arrangements. When points are earned by Hilton Honors members, they are provided with a substantive right to free or discounted goods or services in the future upon accumulation of the required level of Hilton Honors points. Points may be redeemed for the right to stay at participating properties, as well as for other goods and services from third parties, including, but not limited to, airlines, car rentals, cruises, vacation packages, shopping and dining. As points are issued to a Hilton Honors member, the property or strategic partner pays Hilton Honors based on an estimated cost per point equal to the cost of operating the program, which includes marketing, promotion, communication and administrative expenses, as well as the estimated cost of reward redemptions. When the payments that are related to the issuance of points are received, we record amounts equal to the estimated cost per point of the future redemption obligation within liability for guest loyalty program and any amounts received in excess of the estimated cost per point within deferred revenues in our consolidated balance sheets. For the Hilton Honors fees that are charged to the participating properties, we allocate such fees to the substantive right created by the Hilton Honors points that are issued using the variable consideration allocation guidance, since the fees are directly related to the issuance of Hilton Honors points to the Hilton Honors member and Hilton's efforts to satisfy the future redemption of those Hilton Honors points. We engage third-party actuaries annually to assist in determining the fair value of the future reward redemption obligation using a discount rate and statistical formulas that project future point redemptions based on factors that include historical experience, an estimate of points that will eventually be redeemed, which includes an estimate of breakage (i.e., points that will never be redeemed), an expectation of when such points are expected to be redeemed and the cost of reimbursing properties and other third parties with respect to other redemption opportunities available to Hilton Honors members. When points are issued as a result of a stay by a Hilton Honors member at an owned or leased hotel, we recognize a reduction in owned and leased hotels revenues, since we are also the program sponsor. We estimate the current portions of our liability for guest loyalty program and Hilton Honors deferred revenues based on the total point redemptions and breakage expected to occur within the next 12 months; these amounts are presented as current portion of liability for guest loyalty program and current portion of deferred revenues in our consolidated balance sheets. The transaction prices for the Hilton Honors points issued are reduced by the expected payments to the properties and other third parties that will provide the free or discounted good or service using the actuarial projection of the cost per point. The remaining transaction price is then further allocated to the points that are expected to be redeemed, adjusting the points that are issued for estimated breakage, and recognized when those points are redeemed. While the points are outstanding, both the estimate of the expected payments to third parties (i.e., cost per point redeemed) and the estimated breakage are reevaluated. The combined estimate that yields the amount of revenue recognized when our point obligation is satisfied is adjusted so that the final amount allocated to the substantive right of the Hilton Honors member to redeem their points for free or discounted goods and services is reflective of the amount retained by Hilton after the cost of providing the free or discounted goods and services. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily suspended the expiration of Hilton Honors points, and, as a result, our estimates of breakage for both the determination of our liability for guest loyalty program and the amount of revenue recognized when our point obligation is satisfied included the anticipated point expirations that occurred at the end of the suspension, which was December 31, 2022. We also earn licensing fees from strategic partnerships, including co-branded credit card arrangements (see "Management and franchise revenues" within the "Revenue Recognition" section above). The consideration received is allocated between two performance obligations based on their estimated standalone selling prices: (i) an IP license using the relief-from-royalty valuation method; and (ii) substantive rights for free or discounted goods or services to the Hilton Honors members using a cost plus method based on an evaluation of other third-party administrators. We satisfy our performance obligation related to points issued under Hilton Honors when points are redeemed for a free or discounted good or service by the Hilton Honors member, and we satisfy our performance obligation related to the IP license over time as the strategic partner simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the goods or services provided. Hilton reimburses participating properties and applicable third parties when points are redeemed by Hilton Honors members for stays at the participating properties or for other goods or services from the third-party providers, at which time the redemption obligation is reduced and the related deferred revenue is recognized in other revenues from managed and franchised properties in our consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, when Hilton Honors members redeem points for a free or discounted stay at our owned and leased hotels, we recognize room revenue, included in owned and leased hotels revenues in our consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized an aggregate of $457 million of revenue related to Hilton Honors, including amounts related to point redemptions, which were recognized in other revenues from managed and franchised properties, and amounts related to licensing fees, which were recognized in franchise and licensing fees.
Fair Value Measurement - Valuation Hierarchy	Fair Value Measurements – Valuation Hierarchy Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). We use the three-level valuation hierarchy for classification of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the data market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below: • Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument. • Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement. The classification of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. 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. Estimates of the fair values of our financial instruments and nonfinancial assets are determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop the estimated fair values and the classification within the valuation hierarchy. We have not elected the fair value measurement option for any of our financial assets or liabilities.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We regularly monitor the financial stability and credit standing of the counterparties to our derivative instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. We record all derivatives at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, we may designate the derivative as a hedging instrument, and, if so, we formally document all relationships between hedging activities, including the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. We generally enter into cash flow hedges (i.e., a hedge of a specific forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be paid), and, in the past, we entered into net investment hedges (i.e., a hedge of an investment in a foreign operation). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified and designated as a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) until they are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If we do not specifically designate the derivative as a cash flow hedge or another type of hedging instrument, changes in the fair value of the undesignated derivative instrument are reported in current period earnings. Cash flows from designated derivative financial instruments are classified within the same category as the item being hedged in the consolidated statement of cash flows, while cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments are included as an investing activity.
Currency Translation	Currency Translation The U.S. dollar ("USD") is our reporting currency and is the functional currency of our entities operating in the U.S. The functional currency for our entities operating outside of the U.S. is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the respective entity operates, unless it is considered a highly inflationary economy in which case the functional currency of that entity is USD. Assets and liabilities measured in foreign currencies are translated into USD at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates in effect as of the financial statement date and the related gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average foreign currency exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes related to transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency or intercompany receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency that are not of a long-term investment nature are recognized within gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions in our consolidated statement of operations. Where certain specific evidence indicates intercompany receivables and payables will not be settled in the foreseeable future and are of a long-term nature, gains and losses from foreign currency exchange rate changes are recognized as currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).
Insurance	InsuranceWe are self-insured for losses up to our third-party insurance deductibles for domestic general liability, auto liability, workers' compensation, employment practices liability and crime insurance at our leased and managed hotels that participate in our insurance programs, in addition to other corporate related coverages. We are also self-insured for health coverages for some of our U.S. and Puerto Rico employees, which include those working at our corporate operations and managed hotels, with purchased insurance protection for costs over specified thresholds. In addition, through our captive insurance subsidiary, we participate in reinsurance arrangements that provide coverage and/or act as a financial intermediary for claim payments on our self-insurance program. These obligations and reinsurance arrangements can cause timing differences in the recognition of assets, liabilities, gains and losses between reporting periods, although we expect these amounts to ultimately offset when the related claims are settled. Our insurance reserves are accrued based on our deductibles related to the estimated ultimate cost of claims that occurred during the covered period, which includes claims incurred but not reported, for which we will be responsible. These estimates are prepared with the assistance of third-party actuaries and consultants. The ultimate cost of claims for a covered period are reviewed at least annually, or more frequently as circumstances dictate, and are adjusted based on the latest information available to us, which may differ from our original estimates.
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation Under the Hilton 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), we award time-vesting restricted stock units ("RSUs"), nonqualified stock options ("options") and performance-vesting RSUs ("performance shares") to our eligible employees: • RSUs vest in equal annual installments over two three • Options vest over three • Performance shares vest three
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and to recognize the deferred tax assets and liabilities that relate to tax consequences in future years, which result from differences between the respective tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts and tax attribute carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the respective temporary differences or operating loss or tax credit carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The realization of deferred tax assets and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards is contingent upon the generation of future taxable income and other restrictions that may exist under the tax laws of the jurisdiction in which a deferred tax asset exists. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce such deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be ultimately realized. We are taxed on global intangible low-tax income ("GILTI") earned by certain foreign subsidiaries, and our foreign derived intangible income ("FDII") is taxed at a lower effective rate than the statutory rate by allowing a tax deduction against the income. We recognize the current tax on GILTI as an expense in the period the tax is incurred. We include the current tax impact of both GILTI and the FDII deduction in our effective tax rate. We use a prescribed recognition threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. For all income tax positions, we first determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of each evaluated tax position and the amounts we would ultimately accept in a negotiated settlement with tax authorities. If it is determined that a position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit recognized in the financial statements is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement. In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") was signed into law in the U.S. We do not expect the IRA to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, including our annual estimated effective tax rate during interim periods.
Loss Contingencies	Loss Contingencies We are involved in various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. We also provide various types of guarantees and other assistance in the form of letters of
Recently issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2021-10 ("ASU 2021-10"), Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance , which requires entities to provide annual disclosures about the nature of material existing government assistance agreements and the impact of such agreements on the entity's financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2021-10 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and the amendments should be applied either: (i) prospectively to all in scope transactions that are reflected in the financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after that date; or (ii) retrospectively to those transactions. Hilton adopted this ASU on January 1, 2022 on a prospective basis and it had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. If, at any point in time, such amounts are deemed to be material, we will present the required disclosures as applicable .

Historical volatility is based on the historical movement of Hilton's stock price for a look back period that corresponds to the expected term of the option. (2) For options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020, dividend yield was estimated based on our historical quarterly dividends. However, after the 2020 options were granted, we suspended the declaration and payment of dividends, and, at the time of grant for the 2021 options, we could not estimate when the payment of dividends would resume. For the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2022, dividend yield was estimated based on the expectation, at the date of grant, of the resumption of a quarterly $0.15 per share dividend, which occurred in the second quarter of 2022. For option grants made during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020, the three month average stock price at the date of grant was also utilized in the dividend yield calculation.

[1]Estimated using a blended approach of historical and implied volatility. Historical volatility is based on the historical movement of Hilton's stock price for a look back period that corresponds to the expected term of the option.[2]For options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020, dividend yield was estimated based on our historical quarterly dividends. However, after the 2020 options were granted, we suspended the declaration and payment of dividends, and, at the time of grant for the 2021 options, we could not estimate when the payment of dividends would resume. For the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2022, dividend yield was estimated based on the expectation, at the date of grant, of the resumption of a quarterly $0.15 per share dividend, which occurred in the second quarter of 2022. For option grants made during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2020, the three month average stock price at the date of grant was also utilized in the dividend yield calculation.[3]Based on the yields of U.S. Department of Treasury instruments with similar expected terms at the date of grant.[4]Estimated using the midpoint of the vesting period and the contractual term of the options.
