Organization [Abstract]
Organization	Organization FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (NYSE:FCH), or FelCor, is a Maryland corporation, operating as a real estate investment trust, or REIT. FelCor is the sole general partner of, and the owner of a greater than 99.5% partnership interest in, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, through which we held ownership interests in 43 hotels as of June 30, 2015 , two of which were held for sale. At June 30, 2015 , we had an aggregate of 143,939,535 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 143,328,073 shares of FelCor common stock and 611,462 FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor. Of our 41 hotels as of June 30, 2015 (excluding the two hotels held for sale), we owned 100% interests in 38 hotels, a 95% interest in one hotel (The Knickerbocker) and 50% interests in entities owning two hotels. The Knickerbocker opened in February 2015, and, based on its partial completion as of June 30, 2015, we have classified $274.7 million of this development as investment in hotels, with the remaining investment ( $51.2 million ) classified as hotel development. We consolidate our real estate interests in the 39 hotels in which we held majority interests, and we record the real estate interests of the two hotels in which we held indirect 50% interests using the equity method. We lease 40 of the 41 hotels to our taxable REIT subsidiaries, of which we own a controlling interest. We operate one 50% -owned hotel without a lease. Because we own controlling interests in our operating lessees, we consolidate our interests in all 40 leased hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our statements of operations. Of our Consolidated Hotels, we own 50% of the real estate interest in one hotel (we account for the ownership in our real estate interest of this hotel by the equity method) and majority real estate interests in our remaining 39 hotels (we consolidate our real estate interests in these hotels). The following table illustrates the distribution of our 40 Consolidated Hotels at June 30, 2015 : Brand Hotels Rooms Embassy Suites Hotels ® 18 4,982 Wyndham ® and Wyndham Grand ® 8 2,528 Marriott ® and Renaissance ® 3 1,321 Holiday Inn ® 2 968 DoubleTree by Hilton ® and Hilton ® 3 802 Sheraton ® 2 673 Fairmont ® 1 383 The Knickerbocker 1 330 Morgans and Royalton 2 285 Total 40 12,272 At June 30, 2015 , our Consolidated Hotels were located in 15 states, with concentrations in California ( 11 hotels), Florida ( six hotels) and Massachusetts ( three hotels). Approximately 61% of our revenue was generated from hotels in these three states during the first six months of 2015 . At June 30, 2015 , of our 40 Consolidated Hotels: (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Worldwide, or Hilton, managed 20 hotels, (ii) subsidiaries of Wyndham Worldwide, or Wyndham, managed eight hotels, (iii) subsidiaries of Marriott International Inc., or Marriott, managed three hotels, (iv) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, managed two hotels, (v) subsidiaries of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood, managed two hotels, (vi) a subsidiary of Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, or Fairmont, managed one hotel, (vii) a subsidiary of Highgate Hotels, or Highgate, 1. Organization — (continued) managed one hotel, (viii) a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Corporation managed two hotels, and (ix) an independent management company managed one hotel. The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is unaudited. Preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which we consider necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 , included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities [Abstract]
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned two and three hotels, respectively. We also own 50% interests in entities that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and provide condominium management services there. We account for our investments in these unconsolidated entities under the equity method. We consolidate all of our majority-owned subsidiaries in our financial statements. We make adjustments to our equity in income from unconsolidated entities related to the difference between our basis in investment in unconsolidated entities compared to the historical basis of the assets recorded by the joint ventures. The following table summarizes combined balance sheet information for our unconsolidated entities (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2015 2014 Investment in hotels and other properties, net of accumulated depreciation $ 19,897 $ 30,288 Total assets $ 33,760 $ 45,374 Debt $ 23,121 $ 34,192 Total liabilities $ 26,118 $ 36,974 Equity $ 7,642 $ 8,400 Our unconsolidated entities’ debt at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted entirely of non-recourse mortgage debt. In May 2015, one of our joint ventures sold a hotel, resulting in a $7.1 million gain that we include in our equity in income from unconsolidated entities. In connection with selling this hotel, the joint venture repaid the outstanding $10.5 million mortgage loan encumbering this hotel. 2. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities — (continued) The following table (which, among other things, reflects decreases attributable to the unwinding of our 10-hotel unconsolidated joint ventures in July 2014) sets forth summarized combined statement of operations information for our unconsolidated entities (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Total revenues $ 10,410 $ 22,327 $ 16,979 $ 36,945 Net income $ 21,519 $ 6,462 $ 22,069 $ 8,678 Net income attributable to FelCor $ 10,760 $ 3,231 $ 11,035 $ 4,339 Cost in excess of joint venture book value of sold hotel (3,140 ) — (3,140 ) — Depreciation of cost in excess of book value (107 ) (465 ) (233 ) (930 ) Equity in income from unconsolidated entities $ 7,513 $ 2,766 $ 7,662 $ 3,409 The following table summarizes the components of our investments in unconsolidated entities (in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2015 2014 Equity basis of hotel joint venture investments $ (3,102 ) $ (3,265 ) Cost of hotel investments in excess of joint venture book value 7,522 10,895 Equity basis of land and condominium joint venture investments 6,923 7,465 Investment in unconsolidated entities $ 11,343 $ 15,095 The following table summarizes the components of our equity in income from unconsolidated entities (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Hotel investments $ 7,455 $ 2,722 $ 8,203 $ 3,993 Other investments 58 44 (541 ) (584 ) Equity in income from unconsolidated entities $ 7,513 $ 2,766 $ 7,662 $ 3,409

(b) Our line of credit can be extended for one year (to 2020), subject to satisfying certain conditions. (c) This construction loan (total capacity of $85.0 million ) finances the redevelopment of The Knickerbocker and can be extended for one year, subject to satisfying certain conditions. In February 2015, when we sold a hotel, we repaid a $13.0 million loan secured by that hotel that would have otherwise matured in March 2017. In May 2015, we issued $475 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.00% senior notes due 2025. We used the proceeds from that sale, together with cash on hand and funds drawn under our line of credit, to repurchase and redeem $525 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.75% senior secured notes due 2019, which had been secured by mortgages on six hotels. We incurred $28.4 million of debt extinguishment charges relating to prepayment premiums and the write-off of deferred loan costs in connection with this transaction. All cash paid to satisfy the extinguishment of the senior secured notes is classified as a financing activity in the statements of cash flows. In June 2015, we amended and restated our secured line of credit facility to expand our borrowing capacity from $225 million to $400 million . The amended facility now matures in June 2020 (extended from June 2017), assuming we exercise a one-year extension option that is subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR (no floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 225 to 275 basis points (reduced from 337.5 basis points), depending on our leverage. The facility is secured by mortgages on seven hotels and permits partial release and substitution of properties, subject to certain conditions. We incurred $164,000 of debt extinguishment charges (relating to writing-off deferred loan costs) when amending the facility. We concurrently repaid a $140 million term loan that otherwise matured in 2017, bore interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points and was secured by mortgages on three hotels. We incurred $2.0 million of debt extinguishment charges relating to writing-off deferred loan costs for the repaid loan. 3. Debt — (continued) In June 2015, when we sold two hotels, we repaid a $49.1 million loan secured by mortgages on three hotels (including the two sold hotels), that would have otherwise matured in March 2017. At June 30, 2015, the remaining hotel that had been mortgaged to secure this loan was held for sale. We incurred $237,000 of debt extinguishment charges relating to writing-off deferred loan costs for the repaid loan. We reported $20.3 million and $24.5 million of interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $6,000 and $14,000 and (ii) capitalized interest of $1.6 million and $4.3 million , respectively. We reported $39.8 million and $49.7 million of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $11,000 and $29,000 and (ii) capitalized interest of $5.0 million and $8.3 million , respectively.

We only apply these new provisions prospectively; consequently, we continue to report hotels that were considered discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and prior years as discontinued operations in all periods presented. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we sold six hotels and had two hotels held for sale at June 30, 2015 . In 2014, we sold three hotels not previously held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and had two hotels held for sale at June 30, 2014 . We designate a hotel as held for sale when the sale is probable within the next twelve months. We included operations for the sold hotels, and those hotels designated as held for sale, in income (loss) from continuing operations as shown in the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , as disposition of these hotels does not represent a strategic shift in our business. The following table includes condensed financial information primarily related to 12 of 13 hotels sold in 2014 (the remaining hotel was held for sale as of December 31, 2013), six hotels sold during the six months ended June 30, 2015 , and two hotels held for sale at June 30, 2015 (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Hotel operating revenue $ 11,244 $ 52,498 $ 29,260 $ 102,966 Operating expenses (9,078 ) (50,693 ) (23,620 ) (100,223 ) Operating income 2,166 1,805 5,640 2,743 Interest expense, net (436 ) (472 ) (1,031 ) (1,279 ) Debt extinguishment (237 ) (18 ) (309 ) (18 ) Equity in income from unconsolidated entities 6,894 1,886 7,098 2,518 Income from continuing operations 8,387 3,201 11,398 3,964 Gain (loss) on sale of hotels, net (550 ) 15,626 16,337 21,083 Net income 7,837 18,827 27,735 25,047 Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests in other partnerships 26 (367 ) (5,191 ) (484 ) Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP (34 ) (89 ) (97 ) (118 ) Net income attributable to FelCor $ 7,829 $ 18,371 $ 22,447 $ 24,445

We grant our executive officers restricted stock units each year, which provides them with the potential to earn shares of our common stock in three increments over four years . The actual number of shares that vest is determined based on total stockholder return relative to a group of ten lodging REIT peers. We amortize the fixed cost of these grants over the vesting period. We calculate the potential dilutive impact of these awards on our earnings per share using the treasury stock method.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. Different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair value amounts. Our estimates of the fair value of (i) cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments; (ii) our debt for which trading prices are publicly available is based on observable market data (a Level 2 input) and has an estimated fair value of $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively; and (iii) our debt for which trading prices are not publicly available is based on a discounted cash flow model using effective borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, loan to estimated fair value of collateral and remaining maturities (a Level 3 input) and has an estimated fair value of $545.5 million and $548.2 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The estimated fair value of all our debt was $1.6 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . The carrying value of our debt was $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in FelCor LP / Redeemable Units	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in FelCor LP / Redeemable Units We record redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP, in the case of FelCor, and redeemable units, in the case of FelCor LP, in the mezzanine section (between liabilities and equity or partners’ capital) of our consolidated balance sheets because of the redemption feature of these units. Additionally, FelCor’s consolidated statements of operations separately present earnings attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests. We adjust redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP (or redeemable units) each period to reflect the greater of its carrying value based on the accumulation of historical cost or its redemption value. The historical cost is based on the proportionate relationship between the carrying value of equity associated with FelCor’s common stockholders relative to that of FelCor LP’s unitholders. Redemption value is based on the closing price of FelCor’s common stock at period end. FelCor allocates net income (loss) to FelCor LP’s noncontrolling partners based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period. 10. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in FelCor LP / Redeemable Units — (continued) At June 30, 2015 , we had 611,462 limited partnership units outstanding carried at $6.0 million . The value of these outstanding units is based on the closing price of FelCor’s common stock at June 30, 2015 ( $9.88 per share). Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests (or redeemable units) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are shown below (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 2014 Balance at beginning of period $ 6,616 $ 5,039 Conversion of units — (44 ) Redemption value allocation (439 ) 1,519 Distributions paid to unitholders (47 ) (24 ) Comprehensive loss: Net loss (89 ) (50 ) Balance at end of period $ 6,041 $ 6,440

Equity [Abstract]
Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity/Capital	Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity/Capital Our joint venture that is redeveloping The Knickerbocker raised $45 million through the sale of redeemable preferred equity under the EB-5 immigrant investor program. The purchasers receive a 3.25% current annual return (which increases to 8% if we do not redeem this equity interest before the fifth anniversary of its issuance), plus a 0.25% non-compounding annual return payable at redemption. The venture received $42.0 million in gross proceeds ( $41.4 million net of issuance costs) in 2014 and $1.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 . The venture will receive the remaining $1.2 million as investors’ visas are approved. We used our 95% share of the proceeds to repay borrowings under our line of credit.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingency	Contingency One of our consolidated subsidiaries has been engaged in a commercial dispute with a third party. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we recorded $5.9 million in other expenses during the third quarter of 2014 to establish a provision for our estimate of our maximum exposure for this contingency. We paid the disputed amount in January 2015 but continued asserting our contractual rights. In June 2015, we settled the commercial dispute and recovered $3.7 million (net of legal costs) of the expense recorded in 2014, which we have recorded in other revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. 13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards — (continued) Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date (for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). We are evaluating what impact (if any) ASU 2014-09 will have on our financial position or results of operations. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating what impact (if any) adopting ASU 2015-03 will have on our financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. 13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards — (continued) Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date (for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). We are evaluating what impact (if any) ASU 2014-09 will have on our financial position or results of operations. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability will be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating what impact (if any) adopting ASU 2015-03 will have on our financial position or results of operations.
