Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring Charges	RESTRUCTURING CHARGES We initiated several regional restructuring plans to achieve cost savings in response to the decline in lodging demand caused by COVID-19. In the 2020 first half, we recorded $26 million of restructuring charges for employee termination benefits, of which we present $6 million in the “Restructuring and merger-related charges” caption and $20 million in the “Reimbursed expenses” caption of our Income Statements. Our global above-property restructuring activities are currently expected to result in approximately $125 million to $145 million of charges, primarily related to employee termination benefits. We expect to substantially complete the foregoing programs relating to our above-property organization by year-end 2020. The above amounts do not include estimates for property-level plans for company-operated properties which are anticipated to be implemented over future quarters and expected to result in future charges.
