HAT-P-18 is a K-type main-sequence star about 530 light-years away. The star is very old and has a concentration of heavy elements similar to solar abundance. A survey in 2015 detected very strong starspot activity on HAT-P-18.{{citation|arxiv=1510.08062|year=2015|doi=10.1088/0004-637X/814/2/148|last1=Piskorz|first1=Danielle|last2=Knutson|first2=Heather A.|last3=Ngo|first3=Henry|last4=Muirhead|first4=Philip S.|last5=Batygin|first5=Konstantin|last6=Crepp|first6=Justin R.|last7=Hinkley|first7=Sasha|last8=Morton|first8=Timothy D.|title=Friends of Hot Jupiters.

In 2010 a transiting hot Saturn-sized planet was detected.{{citation|arxiv=1007.4850|title=HAT-P-18b and HAT-P-19b: Two Low-Density Saturn-Mass Planets Transiting Metal-Rich K Stars|year=2010|doi=10.1088/0004-637X/726/1/52|last1=Hartman|first1=J.

In 2014, observations utilizing the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect detected an exoplanet, HAT-P-18b, on a retrograde orbit, with an angle between orbital plane of the planet and the parent star equatorial plane equal to 132{{±|15}}°.{{citation|arxiv=1403.6728|title=The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG.

In 2016, the transmission optical spectra of the planet indicated that the atmosphere is lacking detectable clouds or hazes, and is blue in color due to Rayleigh scattering of light.{{citation|arxiv=1611.06916|title=Rayleigh scattering in the transmission spectrum of HAT-P-18b|year=2016|doi=10.1093/mnras/stx752|last1=Kirk|first1=J.|last2=Wheatley|first2=P.
