Over the last few years, most of the others (Ankara, London Park Tower, Imperial Kuala Lumpur, Sofia, etc) have been renamed to remove the Sheraton name or repositioned as legit Sheratons. I'm sure these last few will be renamed soon too, I suspect it's to do with waiting for contracts to run out, etc.

Thank you for that snippet of history.
