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 December 31, 2016 . At December 31, 2016 , we had an aggregate of 138,600,280 shares and units outstanding, consisting of 137,990,097 shares of FelCor common stock and 610,183 FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor. Of our 39 hotels as of December 31, 2016 , we owned 100% interests in 36 hotels, a 95% interest in one hotel (The Knickerbocker) and 50% interests in entities owning two hotels. The Knickerbocker opened in February 2015. During 2015, we transferred all development costs ( $329.8 million ) into investment in 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. We own 50% of the real estate interest in one Consolidated Hotel (we account for our real estate interest of this hotel by the equity method) and majority real estate interests in our remaining 37 Consolidated Hotels (we consolidate our real estate interest in these hotels). The following table reflects the distribution of our 38 Consolidated Hotels at December 31, 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 December 31, 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 57% of our revenue from hotels in these three states in 2016 . At December 31, 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 SBE (who acquired Morgans Hotel Group) managed two hotels; and (viii) Aimbridge Hospitality managed one hotel.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation — Our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated entities (consisting entirely of 50% owned ventures) are accounted for by the equity method. We follow the voting interest model and consolidate entities in which we have greater than 50% ownership interest and report entities in which we have 50% or less ownership interest under the equity method. 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. Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investment in Hotels — Our hotels are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings, 15 to 30 years for improvements and three to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. For those hotels subject to a ground lease, depreciation expense is based on the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. We capitalize certain inventory (such as china, glass, silver and linen) at the time of a hotel opening or acquisition, or when significant inventory is purchased (in conjunction with a major rooms renovation or when the number of rooms or meeting space at a hotel is expanded). These amounts are then amortized over the estimated useful life of three years. Subsequent replacement purchases are expensed when placed in service. We periodically review the carrying value of each of our hotels to determine if circumstances exist indicating an impairment in the carrying value of the investment in the hotel or modification of depreciation periods. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment of a hotel, we prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, over the shorter of the hotel’s estimated useful life or the expected hold period, and determine if the investment in such hotel is recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is indicated, we make an adjustment to reduce the carrying value of the hotel to its then fair value. We use recent operating results and current market information to arrive at our estimates of fair value. Maintenance and repairs are expensed, and major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and the related gain or loss is included in operations. Acquisition of Hotels — Investments in hotels are based on purchase price and allocated to land, property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and assumed debt and other liabilities at fair value. Any remaining unallocated purchase price, if any, is treated as goodwill. Property and equipment are recorded at fair value based on current replacement cost for similar capacity and allocated to buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment using appraisals and valuations prepared by management and/or independent third parties. Identifiable intangible assets (typically contracts including ground and retail leases and management and 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued) franchise agreements) are recorded at fair value, although no value is generally allocated to contracts which are at market terms. Above-market and below-market contract values are based on the present value of the difference between contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the contracts acquired and our estimate of the fair value of contract rates for corresponding contracts measured over the period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the contract. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining non-cancelable term of the related agreements. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we may utilize a number of sources such as those obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of a property and other market data, including third-party appraisals and valuations. Investment in Unconsolidated Entities — We own a 50% interest in various real estate ventures in which the partners or members jointly make all material decisions concerning the business affairs and operations. Because we do not control these entities, we carry our investment in unconsolidated entities at cost, plus our equity in net earnings or losses, less distributions received since the date of acquisition and any adjustment for impairment. Our equity in net earnings or losses is adjusted for the straight-line depreciation, over the lower of 40 years or the remaining life of the venture, of the difference between our cost and our proportionate share of the underlying net assets at the date of acquisition. We periodically review our investment in unconsolidated entities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered in the next 12 months is considered other-than-temporary and an impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. Estimated fair values are based on our projections of cash flows, market capitalization rates and sales prices of comparable assets. We track inception-to-date contributions, distributions and earnings for each of our unconsolidated investments. We determine the character of cash distributions from our unconsolidated investments for purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows as follows: • Cash distributions up to the aggregate historical earnings of the unconsolidated entity are recorded as an operating activity ( i.e., a distribution of earnings); and • Cash distributions in excess of aggregate historical earnings are recorded as an investing activity ( i.e., a distribution of contributed capital). Hotels Held for Sale — We consider each individual hotel to be an identifiable component of our business. We do not consider a hotel held for sale until it is probable that the sale will be completed within 12 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. We test hotels held for sale for impairment each reporting period and record them at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less costs to sell. Once we designate a hotel as held for sale it is not depreciated. Cash and Cash Equivalents — All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. We deposit cash at major banks. Our bank account balances may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Limits; however, management believes the credit risk related to these deposits is minimal. Restricted Cash —Restricted cash includes reserves for capital expenditures, real estate taxes and insurance, as well as cash collateral deposits for mortgage debt agreement provisions. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued) Deferred Expenses — Deferred expenses, consisting primarily of loan costs, are recorded at cost. Amortization is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the maturity of the related debt. Deferred loan costs associated with our line of credit are classified as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets, while deferred loan costs associated with other outstanding debt are classified within the debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Other Assets — Other assets consist primarily of hotel operating inventories, prepaid expenses and deposits. Revenue Recognition — Nearly 100% of our revenue is comprised of hotel operating revenues, such as room revenue, food and beverage revenue and revenue from other hotel operating departments (such as telephone, parking, resort fees and business centers). These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests as earned. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. Appropriate allowances are made for doubtful accounts and are recorded as a bad debt expense. The remainder of our revenue is from condominium management fee income and other sources. We do not have any time-share arrangements and do not sponsor any frequent guest programs for which we would have any contingent liability. We participate in frequent guest programs sponsored by the brand owners of our hotels, and we expense the charges associated with those programs (typically consisting of a percentage of the total guest charges incurred by a participating guest) as incurred. When a guest redeems accumulated frequent guest points at one of our hotels, the hotel bills the sponsor for the services provided in redemption of such points and records revenue in the amount of the charges billed to the sponsor. We have no loss contingencies or ongoing obligation associated with frequent guest programs beyond what is paid to the brand owner following a guest’s stay. Taxes, insurance and lease expense — For the year ended December 31, 2015, taxes, insurance and lease expense included an out-of-period adjustment of $1.6 million related to straight-line lease expense from prior years for a ground lease associated with one of our consolidated hotels. The $1.6 million adjustment represented the cumulative additional rent that should have been recognized in prior years on a straight-line basis, with the credit being included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Management evaluated the impact to all previously reported periods and concluded all previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated, nor was the impact of the adjustment material to the three months or the year ended December 31, 2015. Foreign Currency Translation — Results of operations for our Canadian hotel were maintained in Canadian dollars and translated using the weighted average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities were translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. In 2014, we sold our remaining Canadian hotel and recorded a $24.4 million gain from foreign currency translation (which we had previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income). Capitalized Costs — We capitalize interest (by applying our weighted average cost of borrowing to our construction in progress) and certain other costs, such as property taxes, land leases, property insurance and employee costs relating to hotels undergoing major renovations and redevelopments. In addition, these costs were capitalized on our Knickerbocker hotel during development. We begin capitalizing these costs when activities necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are underway and cease capitalizing these costs to 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued) projects when construction is substantially complete. Such costs capitalized in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , were $7.7 million , $13.3 million and $25.9 million , respectively. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share/Unit — We treat unvested share (unit)-based payment awards containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends (distributions) or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities for computation of earnings per share (unit) (pursuant to the two-class method, in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 260-10-45-59A through 45-70). We compute basic earnings per share (unit) by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (or unitholders) less dividends (distributions) declared on FelCor’s unvested restricted stock by the weighted average number of common shares (units) outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share (unit) by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders less dividends (distributions) declared on FelCor’s unvested restricted stock by the weighted average number of common shares (units) and equivalents outstanding. For all years presented, our Series A cumulative preferred stock (units), or Series A preferred stock (units), if converted to common shares (units), would be antidilutive; accordingly, we do not assume conversion of the Series A preferred stock (units) in the computation of diluted earnings per share (unit). FelCor’s Stock Compensation — We account for stock-based employee compensation using the fair value based method of accounting. We classify share-based payment awards granted in exchange for employee services as either equity awards or liability awards. Equity classified awards are measured based on the fair value on the date of grant. Liability classified awards are remeasured to fair value each reporting period. Awards that are to be settled in cash ( i.e., phantom stock) are classified as liability awards. The value of all our share-based awards is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite services. 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 reclassified $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. Derivatives — We recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either equity or net income, depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and the nature of the hedging activity. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued) Segment Information — We have determined that our business is conducted in one operating segment. Distributions and Dividends — FelCor declared aggregate common dividends of $0.24 , $0.18 and $0.10 per share in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. FelCor’s ability to make distributions depends on FelCor’s receipt of quarterly distributions from FelCor LP, and FelCor LP’s ability to make distributions is dependent upon the results of operations of our hotels. FelCor LP distributes funds to FelCor to pay common and preferred dividends. FelCor’s Board of Directors will determine the amount of any future common and preferred dividends based upon various factors including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements. Reacquired Stock — We account for FelCor’s purchase of capital stock under a method that is consistent with Maryland law (Maryland is FelCor’s domicile), which does not contemplate treasury stock. Any capital stock reacquired for any purpose is recorded as a reduction of common stock (at $0.01 par value per share) and an increase in accumulated deficit. Noncontrolling Interests — Noncontrolling interests in other partnerships represents the proportionate share of the equity in other partnerships not owned by us. Noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP represents FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor. We allocate income and loss to noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP and other partnerships based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the year. FelCor characterizes minority interest in FelCor LP as noncontrolling interests, but because of the redemption feature of these units, FelCor includes them in the mezzanine section (between liabilities and equity) on its consolidated balance sheets. These units are redeemable at the option of the holders for a like number of shares of FelCor’s common stock or, at our option, the cash equivalent thereof. 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. Income Taxes — FelCor has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to federal income tax, provided that it distributes all of its taxable income annually to its stockholders and complies with certain other requirements. FelCor LP is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and is not subject to federal income taxes. However, both FelCor and FelCor LP may be subject to state, local and foreign income and franchise taxes in certain jurisdictions. We generally lease our hotels to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, that are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes. Through these lessees, we record room revenue, food and beverage revenue and other revenue related to the operations of our hotels. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recorded for net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized. We 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 the position. Once it is determined that a position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. We apply this policy to all tax positions related to income taxes.

Hotel Development	Consolidated Joint Venture Preferred Equity/Capital Our joint venture that redeveloped The Knickerbocker raised $45 million through the sale of redeemable preferred equity/capital 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 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The venture expects to receive the remaining $600,000 as investors’ visas are approved.

Impairment Charges

Impairment Charges [Abstract]
Impairment Charges	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. As part of our long-term strategic plan to enhance stockholder value and achieve or exceed targeted returns on invested capital, we sell and acquire hotels to improve our overall portfolio quality, enhance diversification and improve growth rates. In that regard, we regularly review each hotel in our portfolio in terms of projected performance, future capital expenditure requirements and market dynamics and concentration risk. Based on this analysis, we may establish a plan to sell our interests in certain hotels ( two of which are owned by unconsolidated joint ventures) that no longer meet our investment criteria. As a consequence, we would shorten our estimated hold periods for those hotels and test the consolidated hotels for impairment when they are approved as non-strategic hotels. When the hotels owned by unconsolidated joint ventures are designated by those ventures as non-strategic, the joint ventures will test for impairment based on the reduced estimated hold periods. 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 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 five 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 Effective January 1, 2014, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, under which the disposal of components of an entity are reported as discontinued operations only if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. 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 year ended December 31, 2016 , we sold two hotels, and in 2015, we sold eight hotels. In 2014, we sold eight hotels, one of which was previously held for sale at December 31, 2013, and disposed of five unconsolidated hotels when we unwound our joint ventures as discussed in Note 7. We designate a hotel as held for sale when the sale is probable within the next 12 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. Excluding the hotel held for sale at December 31, 2013 and sold in 2014, w e included operations for the sold hotels, and those hotels designated as held for sale at December 31, 2014, in income (loss) from continuing operations as shown in the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , 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. 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), eight hotels sold in 2015 and two hotels sold in 2016 included in continuing operations (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Hotel operating revenue $ 39,750 $ 85,840 $ 207,762 Operating expenses (a) (39,530 ) (97,655 ) (197,180 ) Operating income (loss) 220 (11,815 ) 10,582 Interest expense, net 1 (1,031 ) (2,475 ) Debt extinguishment — (309 ) (932 ) Gain on sale of investment in unconsolidated entities, net — — 30,176 Equity in income from unconsolidated entities — 7,111 3,294 Income (loss) from continuing operations 221 (6,044 ) 40,645 Gain on sale of hotels, net (b) 6,322 19,426 66,762 Net income 6,543 13,382 107,407 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in other partnerships — (5,166 ) (977 ) Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP (28 ) (35 ) (394 ) Net income attributable to FelCor $ 6,515 $ 8,181 $ 106,036 (a) Operating expenses include impairment charges of $6.3 million and $20.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entities [Abstract]
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities At December 31, 2016 and 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 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): December 31, 2016 2015 Investment in hotels and other properties, net of accumulated depreciation $ 20,898 $ 23,047 Total assets $ 27,052 $ 29,033 Debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs $ 22,065 $ 22,563 Total liabilities $ 24,311 $ 24,541 Equity $ 2,741 $ 4,492 Our unconsolidated entities’ debt at December 31, 2016 and 2015 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 included 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. 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): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Total revenues $ 33,615 $ 32,591 $ 59,453 Net income $ 3,839 $ 22,799 $ 12,561 Net income attributable to FelCor $ 1,920 $ 11,400 $ 6,281 Cost in excess of joint venture book value of sold hotel — (3,140 ) — Depreciation of cost in excess of book value (387 ) (427 ) (1,271 ) Equity in income from unconsolidated entities $ 1,533 $ 7,833 $ 5,010 8.

Joint Venture Transactions

Joint Venture Transaction [Abstract]
Joint Venture Transactions	Joint Venture Transactions In July 2014, we unwound unconsolidated joint ventures in which we held 50% interests that collectively owned 10 hotels. As a consequence of that transaction, we owned 100% of five of those hotels and none of the other five hotels. We also obtained 100% ownership of an additional hotel of which we owned 90% prior to the unwinding of the joint ventures. We paid $2.2 million to our joint venture partner to equalize the aggregate value of assets each party received as the joint ventures were unwound. This payment was the net of $5.9 million paid for our partner’s 10% interest in the one hotel and $3.7 million received for the difference in values of the five hotels wholly-owned by us compared to the five hotels in which we no longer had any ownership subsequent to the transaction. Our joint ventures had an outstanding loan that was secured by eight of these hotels and was bifurcated when the joint ventures were unwound. That loan bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 3% , matured in March 2017 and was freely pre-payable in whole or in part. Subsequent to the unwinding of the joint ventures, we were only liable for our $64 million share of the bifurcated non-recourse loan, which was secured by mortgages on four of the five former joint venture hotels that we wholly-owned. In 2015, this loan was repaid in connection with the sale of three of the four hotels securing the loan. The remaining hotel was sold later in 2015. As a result of these transactions, we recorded the following in 2014: • A $20.7 million gain on the remeasurement of the fair value of the five previously unconsolidated hotels, which we controlled and wholly-owned following the transaction; • A $30.2 million gain on the disposition of our unconsolidated interests in the five other hotels (net of $457,000 in transaction costs); and • A $3.5 million decrease in Additional Paid-In Capital related to our acquisition of the 10% noncontrolling interest of another hotel, which we wholly-owned following the transaction. In addition to the foregoing, we increased our ownership interest in the operating entities of all six hotels in conjunction with unwinding the joint ventures. Prior to the transaction, we had 51% controlling interests in 10 of the hotel lessees that operated the joint ventures’ 10 hotels and a 90% controlling interest in the hotel lessee that operated the eleventh hotel. After unwinding the joint ventures, we no longer had any interest in five lessees and owned 100% in the lessees of the six hotels we owned outright following the transaction. When we unwound the joint ventures, we liquidated the lessees’ assets and liabilities to cash, which was then distributed to the partners based on their ownership interests just prior to unwinding the joint ventures. Consequently, we recorded no gains or losses when changing ownership of the lessees. The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed where we obtained control of a previously unconsolidated entity ( i.e. , a business combination) through this, primarily non-cash, transaction (in thousands): Assets Investment in hotels $ 130,100 Other assets 1,300 Deferred expenses 259 Total assets acquired $ 131,659 Liabilities Debt $ 64,000 Net assets acquired $ 67,659 7. Joint Venture Transactions — (continued) The value of the assets acquired was primarily based on a sales comparison approach (for land) and a depreciated replacement cost approach (for buildings and furniture, fixtures, and equipment). The sales comparison approach used inputs of recent land sales in the respective hotel markets. The depreciated replacement cost approach used inputs of both direct and indirect replacement costs using a nationally recognized authority on replacement cost information as well as the age and the square footage of the respective buildings. The fair value of the debt was based on the estimated principal amount of debt having the same debt service requirements that could have been borrowed on the transaction date, at then current market interest rates. The non-cash transaction also resulted in a $19.9 million reduction in our investment in unconsolidated entities. The following unaudited consolidated pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 assumes the joint venture transactions (the business combination, the disposition of unconsolidated interests, the acquisition of a 10% interest in one hotel, and the change in lessee ownership percentages) occurred on January 1, 2013 (in thousands, except per share data). The unaudited consolidated pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations if the transactions had been completed on the assumed date. Year Ended December 31, 2014 2013 Revenue $ 892,555 $ 843,878 Net income (loss) $ 94,869 $ (65,670 ) Income (loss) per share/unit - basic $ 0.43 $ (0.82 ) Income (loss) per share/unit - diluted $ 0.43 $ (0.82 )

(b) Our line of credit can be extended for one year, subject to satisfying certain conditions. We may borrow up to $400 million under our line of credit. (c) This loan can be extended for one year, subject to satisfying certain conditions. 9. Debt — (continued) Since adoption of ASU 2015-03, we classify deferred financing costs of $16.0 million and $18.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, within the debt on our consolidated balance sheets. We previously classified deferred financing costs of $18.1 million at December 31, 2015 as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets. In accordance with ASU 2015-15, we continue classifying deferred financing costs associated with our line of credit as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets. In February 2015, we sold a hotel and repaid $13.0 million in mortgage debt 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% unsecured senior notes due 2025. We used the proceeds from that issuance, 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 was 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 was classified as a financing activity in the statements of cash flows. In June 2015, we amended and restated our secured line of credit facility primarily 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 unused commitment fee decreased 5 basis points to 35 basis points. 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 we amended 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, including one hotel that is part of the security for the amended facility. We incurred $2.0 million of debt extinguishment charges relating to writing-off deferred loan costs for the repaid loan. 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. We sold the remaining hotel that had been mortgaged to secure this loan in September 2015. We incurred $237,000 of debt extinguishment charges relating to writing-off deferred loan costs for the repaid loan. In 2015, we increased our borrowings under our loan secured by The Knickerbocker from $64.9 million to $85.0 million . Also, in November 2015, we amended our Knickerbocker loan to lower the interest rate to LIBOR plus 300 basis points and extended the maturity to November 2017. Our senior notes, which are guaranteed by FelCor, require that we satisfy total leverage, secured leverage and interest coverage tests in order to: (i) incur additional indebtedness, except to refinance maturing debt with replacement debt, as defined under our indentures; (ii) pay dividends in excess of the minimum distributions required to qualify as a REIT; (iii) repurchase capital stock; or (iv) merge. We currently exceed all minimum thresholds. In addition, our 5.625% senior notes are secured by a combination of first lien mortgages and related security interests on nine hotels, as well as pledges of equity interests in certain subsidiaries of FelCor LP, and our 6.00% senior unsecured notes require us to maintain a minimum amount of unencumbered assets. 9. Debt — (continued) At December 31, 2016 , we had consolidated secured debt totaling $879.3 million , encumbering 22 of our Consolidated Hotels with a $1.1 billion aggregate net book value. Except for our 5.625% senior secured notes due 2023 and our line of credit, our secured debt is generally recourse solely to the specific hotels securing the debt, except in case of fraud, misapplication of funds and certain other customary limited recourse carve-out provisions that could extend recourse to us. Much of our secured debt allows us to substitute collateral under certain conditions and is freely prepayable, subject in some instances to various prepayment, yield maintenance or defeasance obligations. Most of our secured debt (other than our 5.625% senior secured notes) is subject to lock-box arrangements under certain circumstances. We are permitted to spend an amount required to cover our hotel operating expenses, taxes, debt service, insurance and capital expenditure reserves, even if revenues are flowing through a lock-box triggered by a specified debt service coverage ratio not being met. All of our consolidated loans subject to lock-box provisions currently exceed the applicable minimum debt service coverage ratios. We reported $78.2 million , $79.1 million , and $90.7 million of interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 , and 2014 , respectively, which is net of: (i) interest income of $62,000 , $24,000 , and $48,000 , and (ii) capitalized interest of $973,000 , $6.0 million , and $16.3 million , respectively. To fulfill requirements under one of our loans, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an aggregate notional amount of $140 million at December 31, 2015 . We did not designate the interest rate cap as a hedge, and it had an insignificant fair value at December 31, 2015 , resulting in no significant impact on earnings. We had no outstanding interest rate caps at December 31, 2016 . Future scheduled principal payments on debt obligations at December 31, 2016 are as follows (in thousands): Year 2017 $ 87,637 2018 2,954 2019 122,106 2020 3,245 2021 3,432 Thereafter 1,134,919 $ 1,354,293

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 December 31, 2016 and 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 approximately $1.0 billion at December 31, 2016 and 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 $364.6 million and $438.8 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively). The estimated fair value of all our debt was $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The carrying value of our debt was $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Capital Stock / Partners' Capital [Abstract]
FelCor Capital Stock/FelCor Partners' Capital	FelCor Capital Stock/FelCor LP Partners’ Capital FelCor, as FelCor LP’s general partner, is obligated to contribute the net proceeds from any issuance of its equity securities to FelCor LP in exchange for units, corresponding in number and terms to the equity securities issued. Preferred Stock/Units FelCor’s Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of up to 20 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish the number of shares in each series, to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of each such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Our Series A preferred stock (units) bears an annual cumulative dividend (distribution) payable in arrears equal to the greater of $1.95 per share (unit) or the cash distributions declared or paid for the corresponding period on the number of shares of common stock (units) into which the Series A preferred stock (units) is then convertible. Each share (unit) of the Series A preferred stock (units) is convertible at the holder’s option to 0.7752 shares of common stock (units), subject to certain adjustments. In April 2015, FelCor called for redemption of all of its outstanding shares of 8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and all depositary shares representing the Series C preferred stock. FelCor redeemed those shares of Series C preferred stock and the depositary shares, and FelCor LP concurrently redeemed its Series C preferred units, on May 14, 2015 using proceeds from the equity offering. Including dividends of $491,000 , the total redemption price was $170.4 million . We reduced income available to common stockholders (unitholders) by $6.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 , primarily representing the original issuance costs ( $5.5 million ) and discount ( $538,000 ) of the redeemed Series C preferred stock (Units). Common Stock/Units In April 2015, FelCor issued 18.4 million shares of its common stock at $11.25 per share in a public offering. FelCor contributed the net proceeds from the offering ( $199 million ) to FelCor LP in exchange for 18.4 million common units of limited partnership interests. In 2015, FelCor’s Board approved a common stock repurchase program, under which it may spend up to $100 million repurchasing shares of its common stock through October 2017. FelCor may repurchase shares in transactions on the open market, in privately-negotiated transactions or by other means, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. In 2015, FelCor paid $14.4 million (including commissions) repurchasing approximately 2.0 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $7.26 per share. In 2016, FelCor repurchased 4.6 million shares for $30.5 million (including commissions), at an average price of $6.58 per share. Since the inception of the repurchase program, FelCor has repurchased 6.6 million shares for $44.8 million (including commissions), at an average share price of $6.78 per share. All repurchased shares have been retired and have been re-designated as authorized but unissued. There is no guaranty as to the number of shares that will be repurchased, and FelCor may extend, suspend or discontinue its repurchase program at any time without notice at its discretion.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes FelCor LP is a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and is not subject to federal income tax. However, under its partnership agreement, it is required to reimburse FelCor for any tax payments FelCor LP is required to make. Accordingly, the tax information herein represents disclosures regarding FelCor and its taxable subsidiaries. FelCor elected to be treated as a REIT under the federal income tax laws. As a REIT, FelCor generally is not subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level on taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders. FelCor may, however, be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income. FelCor’s taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, formed to lease its hotels are subject to federal, state and local income taxes. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distributes at least 90% of its annual taxable income to its stockholders. If FelCor fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year for which the statute of limitations remains open, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) for such taxable year and may not qualify as a REIT for four subsequent years. In connection with FelCor’s election to be treated as a REIT, its charter imposes restrictions on the ownership and transfer of shares of its common stock. FelCor LP expects to make distributions on its units sufficient to enable FelCor to meet its distribution obligations as a REIT. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The following table reconciles our TRSs’ GAAP net income (loss) to federal taxable income (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 GAAP consolidated net income (loss) attributable to FelCor LP $ 3,405 $ (9,059 ) $ 92,236 Loss (income) allocated to FelCor LP unitholders 93 194 (137 ) GAAP consolidated net income (loss) attributable to FelCor 3,498 (8,865 ) 92,099 GAAP net loss (income) from REIT operations 21,332 21,838 (68,796 ) GAAP net income of taxable subsidiaries 24,830 12,973 23,303 Taxes related to joint venture transaction — — 5,761 Gain/loss differences from dispositions — (872 ) — Depreciation and amortization (a) (12,437 ) (1,877 ) (461 ) Employee benefits not deductible for tax (2,965 ) (588 ) (101 ) Management fee recognition — (107 ) (1,151 ) Cancellation of debt — — (3,188 ) Capitalized TRS start-up costs — — 11,859 Other book/tax differences 386 3,827 181 Federal tax income of taxable subsidiaries before utilization of net operating losses 9,814 13,356 36,203 Utilization of net operating loss (9,814 ) (13,356 ) (36,203 ) Net federal tax income of taxable subsidiaries $ — $ — $ — (a) The changes in book/tax differences in depreciation and amortization principally result from book and tax basis differences, differences in depreciable lives and accelerated depreciation methods. 12. Income Taxes — (continued) Included in our consolidated statement of operations are $873,000 , $1.2 million and $660,000 related to current state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. State income taxes in 2014 have been reclassified from taxes, insurance and lease expense to conform to the 2016 and 2015 presentation of a separate line for income tax expense on our consolidated statements of operations. Our TRSs had a deferred tax asset, on which we had a 100% valuation allowance, primarily comprised of the following (in thousands): December 31, 2016 2015 Accumulated net operating losses of TRSs $ 94,219 $ 98,367 Tax property basis compared to book 4,844 (4,518 ) Accrued employee benefits not deductible for tax 4,966 4,889 Historic tax credits (a) 19,357 25,375 Other 26 109 Gross deferred tax asset 123,412 124,222 Valuation allowance (123,412 ) (124,222 ) Deferred tax asset after valuation allowance $ — $ — (a) Because of the completion of construction at The Knickerbocker in 2015, one of our TRSs became entitled to the future benefits of historic tax credits that vest over a five year period and do not expire. Historic tax credits for 2015 reflect both federal and state credits. Upon the filing of the state return for 2015 in 2016, the state credit became refundable. Historic tax credits for 2016 reflect federal credits only. We provided a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that results in no net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2016 and 2015 . We recorded a 100% valuation allowance related to our TRSs’ net deferred tax asset because we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be fully realized. The realization of the deferred tax assets associated with our net operating losses and historic tax credits is dependent on projections of future taxable income, for which there is uncertainty when considering our historic results and the cyclical nature of the lodging industry. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for deferred income taxes is reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2016 , our TRSs had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $254.8 million , which are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and do not begin to expire until 2024. 12.

(b) The dividend distribution requirement is 90% of any taxable income (net of capital gains). For 2016 and 2015, our distributions were in excess of 100% of taxable income. At December 31, 2016 , FelCor had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $534.2 million , which it expects to use to offset future distribution requirements. For income tax purposes, dividends paid consist of ordinary income, capital gains, return of capital or a combination thereof. Dividends paid per share were characterized, in accordance with the requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, as follows: 2016 2015 2014 Amount % Amount % Amount % Preferred Stock – Series A Capital gains $ — — $ 1.23 63.08 $ — — Dividend income 1.03 52.82 0.72 36.92 — — Non-dividend distribution 0.92 47.18 — — 1.95 100.00 $ 1.95 (a) 100.00 $ 1.95 (b) 100.00 $ 1.95 (c) 100.00 Preferred Stock – Series C Capital gains $ — — $ 0.63 63.00 $ — — Dividend income — — 0.37 37.00 — — Non-dividend distribution — — — — 2.00 100.00 $ — — $ 1.00 (b) 100.00 $ 2.00 (c) 100.00 Common Stock Capital gains $ — — $ — — $ — — Dividend income — — — — — — Non-dividend distribution 0.24 100.00 0.16 100.00 0.08 100.00 $ 0.24 (a) 100.00 $ 0.16 (b) 100.00 $ 0.08 (c) 100.00 (a) Fourth quarter 2015 preferred and common distributions were paid January 29, 2016, and were treated as 2016 distributions for tax purposes.

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. 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. At December 31, 2016 , we had 610,183 limited partnership units outstanding carried at $4.9 million . We base the value of these outstanding units on the closing price of FelCor’s common stock at December 31, 2016 ( $8.01 /share). Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests (or redeemable units) are shown below (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of period $ 4,464 $ 6,616 Conversion of units (9 ) — Redemption value allocation 673 (1,865 ) Distributions paid to unitholders (147 ) (93 ) Comprehensive income (loss): Net loss (93 ) (194 ) Balance at end of period $ 4,888 $ 4,464

These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests. We record all rebates or discounts, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. We make appropriate allowances for doubtful accounts, which we record as bad debt expense. The remainder of our revenue is from condominium management fee income and other sources. 14.

Wyndham’s parent guaranteed a minimum level of net operating income for each year of the initial 10 -year term, subject to an aggregate $100 million limit over the term (of which we have received or accrued $16.1 million through 2016) and an annual $21.5 million limit. Amounts recorded under the guaranty are accounted for, to the extent available, as a reduction in contractual management and other fees paid and payable to Wyndham. Any amounts in excess of those fees will be recorded as revenue when earned. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, we have recorded $5.3 million , $1.4 million , and $1.3 million , respectively, for the guaranty as a reduction of Wyndham’s contractual management and other fees.

We grant our executive officers restricted stock units each year, which provides them with the potential to earn shares of our common stock. 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.

Commitments, Contingencies and Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Commitments, Contingencies and Related Party Transactions	Commitments and Contingencies Our property insurance has a $100,000 “all-risk” deductible and a 5% deductible (insured value) for named windstorm coverage and for California earthquake coverage. Substantial uninsured or not fully insured losses would have a material adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows and financial condition. Catastrophic losses, such as the losses caused by hurricanes in 2005, could make the cost of insuring against these types of losses prohibitively expensive or difficult to find. In an effort to limit the cost of insurance, we purchase catastrophic insurance coverage based on probable maximum losses based on 250 -year events. We have established a self-insured retention of $250,000 per occurrence for general liability insurance with regard to 32 of our hotels. The remainder of our hotels participate in general liability programs sponsored by our managers, with no deductible. Our hotels are operated under various management agreements that call for minimum base management fees, which generally range from 2 to 3% of total revenue, with the exception of our IHG-managed hotel, where base management fees are 2% of total revenue plus 5% of room revenue. Most of our management agreements also provide for incentive management fees that are subordinated to our return on investment. In addition, the management agreements generally require us to invest approximately 3 to 5% of revenues for capital expenditures. The management agreements generally have terms from 5 to 20 years and generally have renewal options. The management agreements governing the operations of 32 of our Consolidated Hotels contain the right and license to operate the hotels under the specified brands. The remaining six Consolidated Hotels operate under franchise or license agreements that are separate from our management agreements. Typically, our franchise or license agreements provide for a license fee, or royalty, of 4 to 5.5% of room revenues. In the event 18. Commitments and Contingencies - (continued) we breach one of these agreements, in addition to losing the right to use the brand name for the operation of the applicable hotel, we may be liable, under certain circumstances, for liquidated damages (generally equal to the fees paid to the franchisor with respect to that hotel during the three immediately preceding years). At December 31, 2016 , we have $26.2 million in purchase obligations related to planned renovations at our hotels, most of which we expect to spend in 2017. One of our consolidated subsidiaries was engaged in a commercial dispute with a third party that related to circumstances that arose prior to December 31, 2014. Under generally accepted accounting principles, we recorded $5.9 million in other expenses in 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 year ended December 31, 2015. 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 $1.1 million to the pension trust during 2016 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 not occur until mid-2018. Accordingly, we have recorded the $1.1 million in payments made in 2016 and accrued for seven more quarterly payments (approximately $2.0 million ) that would be made if the dispute remains unresolved until mid-2018 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). There is no other litigation pending or known to be threatened against us or affecting any of our hotels, other than claims arising in the ordinary course of business or which are not considered to be material. Furthermore, most of these claims are substantially covered by insurance. We do not believe that any claims known to us, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on us.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, our repayment of borrowings consisted of payments on our line of credit of $156.0 million and normal recurring principal payments of $2.7 million . For the year ended December 31, 2015, our repayment of borrowings consisted of debt retirement of $880.5 million , payments on our line of credit of $314.5 million , payments on the cash collateralized tranche of our Knickerbocker loan of $6.3 million and normal recurring principal payments of $2.6 million . For the year ended December 31, 2014, our repayment of borrowings consisted of debt retirement of $310.2 million , payments on our line of credit of $251.0 million , payments on the cash collateralized tranche of our Knickerbocker loan of $58.6 million and normal recurring principal payments of $3.3 million . For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, the changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities related to investment in hotels and hotel development were a decrease of $4.5 million , an increase of $2.7 million , and a decrease of $11.3 million , respectively.

FelCor is authorized to issue up to 6,100,000 shares of common stock under the Plan pursuant to awards granted in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. Stock-based grants vest subject to time-based or performance-based vesting. There were 4,085,899 shares available for grant under the Plan at December 31, 2016 . FelCor Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units A summary of the status of FelCor’s restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants as of December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , and the changes during these years is presented below: 2016 2015 2014 Shares Weighted Average Fair Market Value at Grant Shares Weighted Average Fair Market Value at Grant Shares Weighted Average Fair Market Value at Grant Shares unvested at beginning of the year 1,830,123 $ 6.79 1,509,519 $ 5.70 1,270,000 $ 4.12 Granted: With up to 5-year pro rata vesting 1,207,926 $ 6.24 1,116,394 $ 8.14 1,036,252 $ 6.70 Forfeited (396,148 ) $ 6.04 (2,250 ) $ 9.62 (2,250 ) $ 9.62 Vested (771,508 ) $ 7.72 (793,540 ) $ 6.61 (794,483 ) $ 4.46 Shares unvested at end of the year 1,870,393 $ 6.21 1,830,123 $ 6.79 1,509,519 $ 5.70 20. FelCor Stock Based Compensation Plans - (continued) Our executive officers were granted market based restricted stock units providing them with the potential to earn common shares based on total stockholder return relative to a group of 10 lodging REIT peers. These awards granted in 2013 through 2015 vest in three increments over four years . Market based awards granted to our executive officers in 2016 cliff vest in three years . Fair value of our market based restricted stock units estimates are based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The assumptions used in this simulation include the following: 2016 2015 2014 Annual volatility (a) 45.92 % 48.11 % 53.78 % Dividend rate (b) $ 0.05 $ 0.04 $ 0.02 Risk-free rate 0.93 % 1.32 % 1.13 % (a) Based on share price history. (b) Based on dividend rate at time of award. Our executive officers were also granted time-based restricted stock unit awards in 2016 that vest in three equal increments over three years . Other employees have received time-based restricted stock awards that vest in equal increments over three years to five years . Our executive officers also received financial performance based awards in 2016, however the three-year performance requirement for vesting has not yet been established. As such, these awards do not yet have a grant date and no expense has been recorded for financial statement purposes. The fixed cost of market and time based grants is amortized over the vesting period. The unearned compensation cost of FelCor’s granted but unvested restricted stock and units was $5.1 million and $6.9 million , as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The weighted average period over which the December 31, 2016 cost is to be amortized is approximately one year . Amortization expense for fixed stock compensation related to FelCor’s restricted stock and units was $5.0 million , $5.1 million , and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The restricted stock unit grant also provides that to the extent any of these executive officers earn more shares than allowed under the plan upon vesting of this grant, the excess is settled in cash. To the extent there is excess likely to settle in cash, these awards are accounted for as liability awards, the fair value of which is remeasured at the end of each reporting period. We paid $3.3 million in 2016 and $1.9 million in 2015 for the excess cash settlements for vested awards. The liability accrued for these awards expected to be settled in cash was $1.0 million and $2.6 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Amortization expense for our variable stock compensation was $450,000 , $798,000 , and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Prouncements,Policy [Text Block]	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). The Company expects to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018, on a modified retrospective basis. Based on the company’s assessment of this standard, it is not expected to have a material effect on the amount of revenue, or the timing of recognizing revenue, from our hotel operations. 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. While we are still in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance, we do expect that t he application of this standard will result in the recording of a right-of-use asset and a related lease liability on our ground leases. In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash , which addresses classification issues related to the statement of cash flows which may impact our classification of cash activity related to restricted cash. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.

Summary of Significant Accoun36

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation — Our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in unconsolidated entities (consisting entirely of 50% owned ventures) are accounted for by the equity method. We follow the voting interest model and consolidate entities in which we have greater than 50% ownership interest and report entities in which we have 50% or less ownership interest under the equity method. 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.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment in Hotels	Investment in Hotels — Our hotels are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings, 15 to 30 years for improvements and three to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. For those hotels subject to a ground lease, depreciation expense is based on the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. We capitalize certain inventory (such as china, glass, silver and linen) at the time of a hotel opening or acquisition, or when significant inventory is purchased (in conjunction with a major rooms renovation or when the number of rooms or meeting space at a hotel is expanded). These amounts are then amortized over the estimated useful life of three years. Subsequent replacement purchases are expensed when placed in service. We periodically review the carrying value of each of our hotels to determine if circumstances exist indicating an impairment in the carrying value of the investment in the hotel or modification of depreciation periods. If facts or circumstances support the possibility of impairment of a hotel, we prepare a projection of the undiscounted future cash flows, without interest charges, over the shorter of the hotel’s estimated useful life or the expected hold period, and determine if the investment in such hotel is recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows. If impairment is indicated, we make an adjustment to reduce the carrying value of the hotel to its then fair value. We use recent operating results and current market information to arrive at our estimates of fair value. Maintenance and repairs are expensed, and major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from our accounts and the related gain or loss is included in operations. Acquisition of Hotels — Investments in hotels are based on purchase price and allocated to land, property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and assumed debt and other liabilities at fair value. Any remaining unallocated purchase price, if any, is treated as goodwill. Property and equipment are recorded at fair value based on current replacement cost for similar capacity and allocated to buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment using appraisals and valuations prepared by management and/or independent third parties. Identifiable intangible assets (typically contracts including ground and retail leases and management and 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued) franchise agreements) are recorded at fair value, although no value is generally allocated to contracts which are at market terms. Above-market and below-market contract values are based on the present value of the difference between contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the contracts acquired and our estimate of the fair value of contract rates for corresponding contracts measured over the period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the contract. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining non-cancelable term of the related agreements. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we may utilize a number of sources such as those obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of a property and other market data, including third-party appraisals and valuations.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities	Investment in Unconsolidated Entities — We own a 50% interest in various real estate ventures in which the partners or members jointly make all material decisions concerning the business affairs and operations. Because we do not control these entities, we carry our investment in unconsolidated entities at cost, plus our equity in net earnings or losses, less distributions received since the date of acquisition and any adjustment for impairment. Our equity in net earnings or losses is adjusted for the straight-line depreciation, over the lower of 40 years or the remaining life of the venture, of the difference between our cost and our proportionate share of the underlying net assets at the date of acquisition. We periodically review our investment in unconsolidated entities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Any decline that is not expected to be recovered in the next 12 months is considered other-than-temporary and an impairment is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the investment. Estimated fair values are based on our projections of cash flows, market capitalization rates and sales prices of comparable assets. We track inception-to-date contributions, distributions and earnings for each of our unconsolidated investments. We determine the character of cash distributions from our unconsolidated investments for purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows as follows: • Cash distributions up to the aggregate historical earnings of the unconsolidated entity are recorded as an operating activity ( i.e., a distribution of earnings); and • Cash distributions in excess of aggregate historical earnings are recorded as an investing activity ( i.e., a distribution of contributed capital).
Hotels Held for Sale	Hotels Held for Sale — We consider each individual hotel to be an identifiable component of our business. We do not consider a hotel held for sale until it is probable that the sale will be completed within 12 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. We test hotels held for sale for impairment each reporting period and record them at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less costs to sell. Once we designate a hotel as held for sale it is not depreciated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents — All highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents. We deposit cash at major banks. Our bank account balances may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Limits; however, management believes the credit risk related to these deposits is minimal.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash —Restricted cash includes reserves for capital expenditures, real estate taxes and insurance, as well as cash collateral deposits for mortgage debt agreement provisions.
Deferred Expenses	Deferred Expenses — Deferred expenses, consisting primarily of loan costs, are recorded at cost. Amortization is computed using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the maturity of the related debt. Deferred loan costs associated with our line of credit are classified as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets, while deferred loan costs associated with other outstanding debt are classified within the debt on our consolidated balance sheets.
Other Assets	Other Assets — Other assets consist primarily of hotel operating inventories, prepaid expenses and deposits.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition — Nearly 100% of our revenue is comprised of hotel operating revenues, such as room revenue, food and beverage revenue and revenue from other hotel operating departments (such as telephone, parking, resort fees and business centers). These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests as earned. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. Appropriate allowances are made for doubtful accounts and are recorded as a bad debt expense. The remainder of our revenue is from condominium management fee income and other sources. We do not have any time-share arrangements and do not sponsor any frequent guest programs for which we would have any contingent liability. We participate in frequent guest programs sponsored by the brand owners of our hotels, and we expense the charges associated with those programs (typically consisting of a percentage of the total guest charges incurred by a participating guest) as incurred. When a guest redeems accumulated frequent guest points at one of our hotels, the hotel bills the sponsor for the services provided in redemption of such points and records revenue in the amount of the charges billed to the sponsor. We have no loss contingencies or ongoing obligation associated with frequent guest programs beyond what is paid to the brand owner following a guest’s stay.
Taxes, Insurance and Lease Expense	Taxes, insurance and lease expense — For the year ended December 31, 2015, taxes, insurance and lease expense included an out-of-period adjustment of $1.6 million related to straight-line lease expense from prior years for a ground lease associated with one of our consolidated hotels. The $1.6 million adjustment represented the cumulative additional rent that should have been recognized in prior years on a straight-line basis, with the credit being included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Management evaluated the impact to all previously reported periods and concluded all previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated, nor was the impact of the adjustment material to the three months or the year ended December 31, 2015.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation — Results of operations for our Canadian hotel were maintained in Canadian dollars and translated using the weighted average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities were translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting translation adjustments were reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. In 2014, we sold our remaining Canadian hotel and recorded a $24.4 million gain from foreign currency translation (which we had previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income).
Capitalized Costs	Capitalized Costs — We capitalize interest (by applying our weighted average cost of borrowing to our construction in progress) and certain other costs, such as property taxes, land leases, property insurance and employee costs relating to hotels undergoing major renovations and redevelopments. In addition, these costs were capitalized on our Knickerbocker hotel during development. We begin capitalizing these costs when activities necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are underway and cease capitalizing these costs to 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (continued) projects when construction is substantially complete. Such costs capitalized in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , were $7.7 million , $13.3 million and $25.9 million , respectively.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share	Net Income (Loss) per Common Share/Unit — We treat unvested share (unit)-based payment awards containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends (distributions) or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) as participating securities for computation of earnings per share (unit) (pursuant to the two-class method, in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 260-10-45-59A through 45-70). We compute basic earnings per share (unit) by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (or unitholders) less dividends (distributions) declared on FelCor’s unvested restricted stock by the weighted average number of common shares (units) outstanding. We compute diluted earnings per share (unit) by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders less dividends (distributions) declared on FelCor’s unvested restricted stock by the weighted average number of common shares (units) and equivalents outstanding. For all years presented, our Series A cumulative preferred stock (units), or Series A preferred stock (units), if converted to common shares (units), would be antidilutive; accordingly, we do not assume conversion of the Series A preferred stock (units) in the computation of diluted earnings per share (unit).
FelCor's Stock Compensation	FelCor’s Stock Compensation — We account for stock-based employee compensation using the fair value based method of accounting. We classify share-based payment awards granted in exchange for employee services as either equity awards or liability awards. Equity classified awards are measured based on the fair value on the date of grant. Liability classified awards are remeasured to fair value each reporting period. Awards that are to be settled in cash ( i.e., phantom stock) are classified as liability awards. The value of all our share-based awards is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for awards for which employees do not render the requisite services. 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 reclassified $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.
Derivatives	Derivatives — We recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect either equity or net income, depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and the nature of the hedging activity.
Segment Information	Segment Information — We have determined that our business is conducted in one operating segment.
Distributions and Dividends	Distributions and Dividends — FelCor declared aggregate common dividends of $0.24 , $0.18 and $0.10 per share in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. FelCor’s ability to make distributions depends on FelCor’s receipt of quarterly distributions from FelCor LP, and FelCor LP’s ability to make distributions is dependent upon the results of operations of our hotels. FelCor LP distributes funds to FelCor to pay common and preferred dividends. FelCor’s Board of Directors will determine the amount of any future common and preferred dividends based upon various factors including operating results, economic conditions, other operating trends, our financial condition and capital requirements, as well as minimum REIT distribution requirements.
Reacquired Stock	Reacquired Stock — We account for FelCor’s purchase of capital stock under a method that is consistent with Maryland law (Maryland is FelCor’s domicile), which does not contemplate treasury stock. Any capital stock reacquired for any purpose is recorded as a reduction of common stock (at $0.01 par value per share) and an increase in accumulated deficit.
Noncontrolling Interests	Noncontrolling Interests — Noncontrolling interests in other partnerships represents the proportionate share of the equity in other partnerships not owned by us. Noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP represents FelCor LP units not owned by FelCor. We allocate income and loss to noncontrolling interests in FelCor LP and other partnerships based on the weighted average percentage ownership throughout the year. FelCor characterizes minority interest in FelCor LP as noncontrolling interests, but because of the redemption feature of these units, FelCor includes them in the mezzanine section (between liabilities and equity) on its consolidated balance sheets. These units are redeemable at the option of the holders for a like number of shares of FelCor’s common stock or, at our option, the cash equivalent thereof. 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.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes — FelCor has elected to be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to federal income tax, provided that it distributes all of its taxable income annually to its stockholders and complies with certain other requirements. FelCor LP is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and is not subject to federal income taxes. However, both FelCor and FelCor LP may be subject to state, local and foreign income and franchise taxes in certain jurisdictions. We generally lease our hotels to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs, that are subject to federal, state and foreign income taxes. Through these lessees, we record room revenue, food and beverage revenue and other revenue related to the operations of our hotels. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recorded for net deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized. We 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 the position. Once it is determined that a position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. We apply this policy to all tax positions related to income taxes.
