Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Wyndham Hotels” or the “Company”) is a leading global hotel franchisor, licensing its renowned hotel brands to hotel owners in over 95 countries around the world. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company’s assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows and all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements included in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Business Description Wyndham Hotels’ primary segment is hotel franchising which principally consists of licensing the Company’s lodging brands and providing related services to third-party hotel owners and others. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments to reflect the recent changes in its Hotel Management segment due to the exit from the select-service management business, the sale of its two owned hotels and the exit from substantially all of its U.S. full-service management business in 2022. The remaining hotel management business, which is predominately the full-service international managed business, no longer meets the quantitative thresholds to be considered a reportable segment and as a result, the Company has aggregated, on a prospective basis, such management business within its Hotel Franchising segment.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	3. REVENUE RECOGNITION Deferred Revenues Deferred revenues, or contract liabilities, generally represent payments or consideration received in advance for goods or services that the Company has not yet provided to the customer. Deferred revenues as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Deferred initial franchise fee revenues $ 146 $ 143 Deferred loyalty program revenues 91 85 Deferred other revenues 16 19 Total $ 253 $ 247 Deferred initial franchise fees represent payments received in advance from prospective franchisees upon the signing of a franchise agreement and are generally recognized to revenue within 13 years. Deferred loyalty revenues represent the portion of loyalty program fees charged to franchisees, net of redemption costs, that have been deferred and will be recognized over time based upon loyalty point redemption patterns. Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. The consideration received from a customer is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. The following table summarizes the Company’s remaining performance obligations for the twelve-month periods set forth below: 10/1/2023 - 9/30/2024 10/1/2024 - 9/30/2025 10/1/2025 - 9/30/2026 Thereafter Total Initial franchise fee revenues $ 16 $ 8 $ 7 $ 115 $ 146 Loyalty program revenues 56 23 9 3 91 Other revenues 11 1 1 3 16 Total $ 83 $ 32 $ 17 $ 121 $ 253 Disaggregation of Net Revenues In the first quarter of 2023, the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments to reflect the recent changes in its Hotel Management segment due to the exit from the select-service management business, the sale of its two owned hotels and the exit from substantially all of its U.S. full-service management business in 2022. The remaining hotel management business, which is predominately the full-service international managed business, no longer meets the quantitative thresholds to be considered a reportable segment and as a result, the Company has aggregated, on a prospective basis, such management business within its Hotel Franchising segment. The table below presents a disaggregation of the Company’s net revenues from contracts with customers by major services and products for each of the Company’s segments: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Hotel Franchising (a) Royalties and franchise fees $ 152 $ 148 $ 415 $ 381 Marketing, reservation and loyalty 179 159 445 416 Management fees 3 — 11 — License and other fees 30 28 83 74 Cost reimbursements 2 — 12 — Other 36 32 110 103 Total Hotel Franchising 402 367 1,076 974 Hotel Management Royalties and franchise fees n/a 4 n/a 13 Owned hotel revenues n/a — n/a 42 Management fees n/a 3 n/a 12 Cost reimbursements n/a 32 n/a 119 Other n/a 1 n/a 4 Total Hotel Management n/a 40 n/a 190 Net revenues $ 402 $ 407 $ 1,076 $ 1,164 ______________________ (a) For 2023, the Hotel Franchising segment includes the former Hotel Management segment, which is primarily comprised of the Company's remaining international full-service managed business.

Earnings Per Share	4. EARNINGS PER SHARE The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on net income divided by the basic weighted average number of common shares and diluted weighted average number of common shares, respectively. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS (in millions, except per share data): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net income $ 103 $ 101 $ 240 $ 299 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 84.0 89.5 85.2 91.2 Stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) (a) 0.5 0.4 0.5 0.5 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 84.5 89.9 85.7 91.7 Earnings per share: Basic $ 1.22 $ 1.13 $ 2.81 $ 3.28 Diluted 1.21 1.13 2.79 3.26 Dividends: Cash dividends declared per share $ 0.35 $ 0.32 $ 1.05 $ 0.96 Aggregate dividends paid to stockholders $ 29 $ 29 $ 90 $ 88 ______________________ (a) Diluted shares outstanding excludes shares related to stock options of 0.2 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 0.4 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Diluted shares outstanding excludes shares related to RSUs of 0.4 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 0.2 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Such shares are excluded as their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. Stock Repurchase Program The following table summarizes stock repurchase activity under the current stock repurchase program (in millions, except per share data) which includes excise taxes and fees: Shares Cost Average Price Per Share As of December 31, 2022 15.2 $ 964 $ 63.32 For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 3.8 270 71.44 As of September 30, 2023 19.0 $ 1,234 $ 64.93

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Hotel Brand Acquisition	6. HOTEL BRAND ACQUISITION During September 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of the Vienna House hotel brand for a total purchase price of $44 million. Vienna House’s portfolio consisted of 41 franchised hotels across Europe, predominantly in Germany. This acquisition provides significant growth opportunities for the Vienna House brand by leveraging the Company's vast global scale and franchise expertise and is consistent with its strategy to expand its brand portfolio and total system size. The purchase price was allocated based on the relative fair value, on a pro rata basis, of the indefinite-lived trademark and the franchise agreements acquired, which were assigned a 20-year life. The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired in connection with Wyndham's acquisition of Vienna House: Amount Franchise agreements $ 17 Trademark 27 Total assets acquired $ 44 This acquisition was assigned to the Company’s Hotel Franchising segment. The results of operations of Vienna House have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income since its date of acquisition. Such results were not material to the Company's results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The termination fee proceeds were completely offset by the write-off of the remaining balance of the related hotel management contract intangible asset and thus resulted in a full recovery of such asset. The proceeds were reported in proceeds from asset sales, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The franchise agreements for these hotels remained in place at their stated fee structure.

Fair Value

Fair Value	9 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	11. FAIR VALUE The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and utilizes the fair value hierarchy to determine such fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value driver is observable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input (closest to Level 3) that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of all other financial instruments are as follows: September 30, 2023 Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Debt $ 2,160 $ 2,132 The Company estimates the fair value of its debt using Level 2 inputs based on indicative bids from investment banks or quoted market prices with the exception of finance leases, which are estimated at carrying value. Financial Instruments Changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates expose the Company to market risk. The Company uses cash flow hedges as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. As a matter of policy, the Company only enters into transactions that it believes will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk, and it does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivatives using Level 2 inputs. Interest Rate Risk A portion of debt used to finance the Company’s operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company uses various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create a desired mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. Derivative instruments currently used in these hedging strategies include interest rate swaps. The derivatives used to manage the risk associated with the Company’s floating rate debt are derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. See Note 10 - Long-Term Debt and Borrowing Arrangements for the impact of such cash flow hedges. Foreign Currency Risk The Company has foreign currency rate exposure to exchange rate fluctuations worldwide, particularly with respect to the Canadian Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Euro, Brazilian Real, British Pound and Argentine Peso. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts at various times to manage and reduce the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, forecasted royalties and forecasted earnings and cash flows of foreign subsidiaries and other transactions. The Company recognized $1 million of gains from freestanding foreign currency exchange contracts during both the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company recognized $2 million of losses and $3 million of gains from freestanding foreign currency exchange contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Such gains and losses are included in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company accounts for certain countries as a highly inflationary economy, with its exposure primarily related to Argentina. Foreign currency exchange losses related to Argentina were $3 million and $1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Foreign currency exchange losses related to Argentina were $6 million and $2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Such losses are included in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Credit Risk and Exposure The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to various agreements and sales transactions. The Company manages such risk by evaluating the financial position and creditworthiness of such counterparties and often by requiring collateral in instances in which financing is provided. The Company mitigates counterparty credit risk associated with its derivative contracts by monitoring the amounts at risk with each counterparty to such contracts, periodically evaluating counterparty creditworthiness and financial position, and where possible, dispersing its risk among multiple counterparties.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company is involved, at times, in claims, legal and regulatory proceedings and governmental inquiries arising in the ordinary course of its business, including but not limited to: breach of contract, fraud and bad faith claims with franchisees in connection with franchise agreements and with owners in connection with management contracts, as well as negligence, breach of contract, fraud, employment, consumer protection and other statutory claims asserted in connection with alleged acts or occurrences at owned, franchised or managed properties or in relation to guest reservations and bookings. The Company may also at times be involved in claims, legal and regulatory proceedings and governmental inquiries relating to bankruptcy proceedings involving efforts to collect receivables from a debtor in bankruptcy, employment matters, claims of infringement upon third parties’ intellectual property rights, claims relating to information security, privacy and consumer protection, fiduciary duty/trust claims, tax claims, environmental claims and landlord/tenant disputes. Along with many of its competitors, the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in litigation matters filed in state and federal courts, alleging statutory and common law claims related to purported incidents of sex trafficking at certain franchised and managed hotel facilities. Many of these matters are in the pleading or discovery stages at this time. In certain matters, discovery has closed and the parties are engaged in dispositive motion practice. As of September 30, 2023, the Company is aware of approximately 35 pending matters filed naming the Company and/or subsidiaries. Based upon the status of these matters, the Company has not made a determination as to the likelihood of any probable loss of any one of these matters and is unable to estimate a range of losses at this time. The Company records an accrual for legal contingencies when it determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In making such determinations, the Company evaluates, among other things, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome, and when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, its ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. The Company reviews these accruals each reporting period and makes revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances, including changes to its strategy in dealing with these matters. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for such matters with reserves of $7 million and $8 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company also had receivables of $4 million and $6 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, for certain matters which are covered by insurance and were included in other current assets on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company believes that its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable results could occur. As such, an adverse outcome from such proceedings for which claims are awarded in excess of the amounts accrued, if any, could be material to the Company with respect to earnings and/or cash flows in any given reporting period. As of September 30, 2023, the potential exposure resulting from adverse outcomes of such legal proceedings could, in the aggregate, range up to approximately $7 million in excess of recorded accruals. However, the Company does not believe that the impact of such litigation will result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its combined financial position or liquidity. Guarantees Separation-related guarantees The Company assumed one-third of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of former Parent incurred prior to the spin-off, including liabilities of former Parent related to, arising out of or resulting from certain terminated or divested businesses, certain general corporate matters of former Parent and any actions with respect to the separation plan or the distribution made or brought by any third party.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	14. SEGMENT INFORMATION The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s operating segments for which separate financial information is available and is utilized on a regular basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of services provided by its operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of each of its reportable segments based upon net revenues and “adjusted EBITDA”, which is defined as net income/(loss) excluding net interest expense, depreciation and amortization, early extinguishment of debt charges, impairment charges, restructuring and related charges, contract termination costs, separation-related items, transaction-related items (acquisition-, disposition-, or debt-related), (gain)/loss on asset sales, foreign currency impacts of highly inflationary countries, stock-based compensation expense, income taxes and development advance notes amortization. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of performance for its segments which, when considered with U.S. GAAP measures, allows a more complete understanding of its operating performance. The Company uses this measure internally to assess operating performance, both absolutely and in comparison to other companies, and to make day to day operating decisions, including in the evaluation of selected compensation decisions. The Company’s presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments to reflect the recent changes in its Hotel Management segment due to the exit from the select-service management business, the sale of its two owned hotels and the exit from substantially all of its U.S. full-service management business. The remaining hotel management business, which is predominately the full-service international managed business, no longer meets the quantitative thresholds to be considered a reportable segment and as a result, the Company has aggregated, on a prospective basis, such management business within its Hotel Franchising segment.
