Phony / false / not really Hilton and Hilton properties

When I was in Adelaide, South Australia, last, I stayed at the Hilton Adelaide hotel, at 233 Victoria Square. Out on a walk I found...

The Hilton Hotel Adelaide, not a Hilton property, but rather a public house (pub) and restaurant (and gaming) situated at the corner South Road & Sir Donald Bradman Drive in the Adelaide suburb of Hilton. <link> You can't actually stay there...

I know I have seen other "Hiltons" that are not at all Hiltons, like the "Bali Hilton" - actually Ayodya Resort Bali in Nusa Dua that is still sold by the less than scrupulous as the "Bali Hilton", and which still retains the www.balihilton.com/ website.

And there is the "Paucar Vera Hilton Magin" in Mariscal Ramon Castilla, in Lima.

What other "Hilton" properties exist out there, under whatever name, Ersatz Doubletree, Notrili Conrad, etc. can we list here?
