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 39 hotels as of September 30, 2016 . At September 30, 2016 , we had an aggregate of 138,384,179 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 137,773,996 shares of FelCor common stock and 610,183 FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor. Of our 39 hotels, as of September 30, 2016 , we owned 100% interests in 36 hotels, a 95% interest in one hotel (The Knickerbocker) and 50% interests in entities owning two hotels. We consolidate our real estate interests in the 37 hotels in which we hold majority interests, and we record the real estate interests of the two hotels in which we hold indirect 50% interests using the equity method. We lease 38 of the 39 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 38 leased hotels (which we refer to as our Consolidated Hotels) and reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We own 50% of the real estate interest in one Consolidated Hotel (we account for our real estate interest in this hotel by the equity method) and majority real estate interests in our remaining 37 Consolidated Hotels (we consolidate our real estate interests in these hotels). The following table illustrates the distribution by brand of our 38 Consolidated Hotels at September 30, 2016 : Brand Hotels Rooms Embassy Suites by Hilton ® 18 4,982 Wyndham ® and Wyndham Grand ® 8 2,528 Marriott ® and Renaissance ® 2 761 Holiday Inn ® 1 585 DoubleTree by Hilton ® and Hilton ® 3 802 Sheraton ® 2 673 Fairmont ® 1 383 The Knickerbocker ® 1 330 Morgans ® and Royalton ® 2 285 Total 38 11,329 At September 30, 2016 , our Consolidated Hotels were located in 14 states, with concentrations in California ( 10 hotels), Florida ( six hotels) and Massachusetts ( three hotels). We generated approximately 56% of our revenue from hotels in these three states during the first nine months of 2016 . At September 30, 2016 , of our Consolidated Hotels: (i) subsidiaries of Hilton Worldwide managed 20 hotels; (ii) subsidiaries of Wyndham Worldwide managed eight hotels; (iii) subsidiaries of Marriott International managed four hotels; (iv) subsidiaries of InterContinental Hotels Group managed one hotel; (v) Fairmont, a subsidiary of AccorHotels Group, managed one hotel; (vi) a subsidiary of Highgate Hotels managed one hotel; (vii) a subsidiary of Morgans Hotel Group Corporation managed two hotels; and (viii) Aimbridge Hospitality managed one hotel. 1. Organization — (continued) On January 1, 2016, we adopted accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-2, modifying the analysis performed to determine whether we should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities “VIEs” or voting interest model entities. The guidance, however, modified the requirements to qualify under the voting interest model. Under the revised guidance, FelCor LP is a variable interest entity of FelCor. As FelCor LP is already consolidated in the balance sheets of FelCor, the identification of this entity as a variable interest entity has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of FelCor. There were no other legal entities under the scope of the revised guidance that were consolidated as a result of the adoption. The information in our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 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 nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , 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, 2015 , included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 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 September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we owned 50% interests in joint ventures that owned two hotels. We also own 50% interests in entities that own real estate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and provide condominium management services at these locations. 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): September 30, December 31, 2016 2015 Investment in hotels and other properties, net of accumulated depreciation $ 21,677 $ 23,047 Total assets $ 29,574 $ 29,033 Debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs $ 22,190 $ 22,563 Total liabilities $ 24,841 $ 24,541 Equity $ 4,733 $ 4,492 Our unconsolidated entities’ debt at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted entirely of non-recourse mortgage debt. 2. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities — (continued) In May 2015, one of our joint ventures sold a hotel, resulting in a $7.1 million gain that we included in our equity in income from unconsolidated entities.

Impairment

Impairment	9 Months Ended

Impairment Charges [Abstract]
Asset Impairment Charges [Text Block]	Impairment Charges Our hotels are comprised of operations and cash flows that can clearly be distinguished, operationally, and for financial reporting purposes, from the remainder of our operations. Accordingly, we consider our hotels to be components for purposes of determining impairment charges. We test for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate a hotel’s carrying value may not be recoverable. We conduct the test using undiscounted cash flows for the shorter of the hotel’s estimated hold period or its remaining useful life. When testing for recoverability of hotels held for investment, we use projected cash flows over its expected hold period. Those hotels held for investment that fail the impairment test are written down to their then current estimated fair value, before any selling expense, and we continue to depreciate the hotels over their remaining useful lives. In September 2016, we recorded a $20.1 million impairment charge for a hotel. The impairment charge was primarily based on both third-party offers to purchase the hotel and observable market data on a price per room basis from transactions involving hotels in similar locations (a Level 2 input under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements). In June 2016, we recorded a $6.3 million impairment charge for a hotel subsequently sold in the third quarter of 2016. The impairment charge was based on an accepted third-party offer to purchase the hotel (a Level 2 input under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements) at a price below our previously estimated fair market value for the property. In the third quarter of 2015, we determined that this hotel no longer met our investment criteria, and we recorded a $20.9 million impairment charge for this hotel at that time. The 2015 impairment charge was determined using Level 3 input under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. For this estimate, we used a discounted cash flow analysis with an estimated stabilized growth rate of 3% , a discounted cash flow term of 5 years , a terminal capitalization rate of 8% , and a discount rate of 11% . We may record additional impairment charges if operating results of individual hotels are materially different from our forecasts, the economy and lodging industry weakens, or we shorten our contemplated holding period for additional hotels.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Hotel Dispositions	Hotel Dispositions During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we sold two hotels (both of which were sold in the third quarter), and during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , we sold eight hotels. We included operations for the sold hotels in income (loss) from continuing operations as shown in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , as disposition of these hotels did not represent a strategic shift in our business. Additionally, we included selling costs, which we expense as they are incurred, in the gain (loss) on the sale of hotels. We designate a hotel as held for sale when the sale is probable within the next twelve months. Generally, we consider a sale to be probable when a buyer completes its due diligence review, we have an executed contract for sale and we have received a substantial non-refundable deposit. There were no hotels held for sale at September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015. 8.

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 three to four years . A portion of the actual number of shares that vest is determined based on total stockholder return relative to a group of ten lodging REIT peers, and a portion is related to service. We amortize the fixed cost of these grants over the vesting periods. 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 We base disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . We exercise considerable judgment when interpreting market data and developing 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. We base our estimates of the fair value of: (i) cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses on their carrying values due to their relatively short maturity; (ii) our debt for which trading prices are publicly available on observable market data (a Level 2 input) (that debt had an estimated fair value of $1.0 billion at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 ); and (iii) our debt for which trading prices are not publicly available 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) (that debt had an estimated fair value of $354.3 million and $438.8 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively). The estimated fair value of all our debt was $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The carrying value of our debt was $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , 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 and comprehensive income (loss) 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. We base the historical cost on the proportionate relationship between the carrying value of equity associated with FelCor’s common stockholders relative to that of FelCor LP’s unitholders. We base redemption value 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. 11. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in FelCor LP/Redeemable Units — (continued) At September 30, 2016 , we carried 610,183 outstanding limited partnership units at $3.9 million . We base the value of these outstanding units on the closing price of FelCor’s common stock at September 30, 2016 ( $6.43 per share). Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests (or redeemable units) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are shown below (in thousands): Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of period $ 4,464 $ 6,616 Conversion of units (9 ) — Redemption value allocation (355 ) (2,076 ) Distributions paid to unitholders (110 ) (67 ) Net loss (67 ) (150 ) Balance at end of period $ 3,923 $ 4,323

Equity [Abstract]
Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity/Capital	Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity/Capital Our joint venture that redeveloped 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. To date, the venture has received $44.4 million in gross proceeds ( $43.8 million net of issuance costs), including $600,000 and $1.8 million in gross proceeds received in the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The venture will receive the remaining $600,000 as investors’ visas are approved.

Commercial Dispute [Abstract]
Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Commercial Dispute One of our consolidated subsidiaries was 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), which we have recorded in other revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 .

Contingency

Contingency	9 Months Ended

Contingency [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	Contingency In April 2016, an affiliate of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC, or IHG, which had formerly operated three hotels on our behalf ( two of which we sold in 2006, and one of which we converted to Wyndham operation and brand in 2013), notified us that the pension fund in which the employees at those hotels had participated has assessed $8.3 million in withdrawal liability in connection with the termination of IHG’s operation of those hotels. Under our hotel management agreements with IHG, we may be obligated to indemnify and hold IHG harmless for some or all of any amount ultimately contributed to the pension fund with respect to these hotels. Because of the rules and regulations governing the pension trust, we have paid $854,000 to the pension trust for the last three calendar quarters and expect to continue making such payments, on a quarterly basis, while the dispute is ongoing, subject to an overall contribution limit corresponding to the amount sought by the pension trust. While we aggressively oppose the pension trust’s position, we believe that resolution of this matter may take as long as two more years. Accordingly, we have recorded the payments made to date ( $854,000 , in total) and accrued for eight more quarterly payments that would be made if the dispute remains unresolved for another two years (approximately $2.3 million ) as a loss on the sale of hotels included in discontinued operations because it primarily relates to hotels sold prior to 2013. Despite these payments and accruals, we believe that (i) the pension trust was in error in assessing the withdrawal liability in this situation and (ii) even if the pension trust was not in error, we are not responsible for a significant portion (or perhaps any) of the withdrawal liability assessed by the pension trust for other reasons and that we are likely to recover a significant portion (if not all) of what we have paid, and may pay in the future, to the pension trust with respect to its claim. Consequently, we are vigorously disputing the underlying claims and, if appropriate, IHG’s demand for indemnification. The matter involves significant legal, actuarial and factual analysis with respect to each hotel, and we have not determined whether any loss to us is probable or that any such loss is estimable (other than the payments and accrual noted in the previous paragraph, for which we intend to seek recovery).

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued 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. 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. 16. Recently Issued Accounting Standards — (continued) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 - Leases (ASC 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The ASU is expected to impact our consolidated financial statements as we have certain operating lease arrangements. ASC 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 Leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions. Under the new standard, companies can withhold shares up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction as participants vest in stock and maintain equity classification of the entire award. Also under the new standard, forfeitures for stock awards may be recorded when they occur (the prior guidance required estimating forfeitures when recording stock compensation costs). Finally, the standard requires classifying cash paid when remitting cash to the tax authorities for stock compensation withholding as financing activity in the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2016. Upon adoption, we revised our policy to account for stock compensation forfeitures as they occur, which resulted in a $185,000 increase in our accumulated deficit for the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. In addition, in our statement of cash flows, we will reclassify $2.1 million and $3.1 million of cash paid to taxing authorities for shares withheld from operating activities to financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
