There's a strange sign on the Hotel Plaza in Targu Mureș, Romania. It says partner "Hilton The Diamond Club". They told me it used to be a Hilton. Maybe bmi and Hilton had involvement in the business...

The thread title says "properties", and not "hotels", so possibly the "Lamma Hilton Shum Kee Seafood Restaurant" in Lamma Island, Hong Kong, qualifies:
https://www.openrice.com/en/hongkong...-seafood-r1812 I didn't actually eat there, but walked past a few times; some of the older signs prominently add the word "genuine." Reviews of the food seem positive, however. rmxjzr |
Near where I grew up, a local industrialist had his own hotel. His last name was Hylton, and Hilton sued his "Hylton Hotel" for trade infringement. He ended up renaming it (and at some point not long after that, closed the place IIRC). This was in WV.

Here in the uk in Lowestoft we had a homeless shelter called " The Hilton " .....this was back in the 1970s, I remember it always used to make people laugh on the bus as it queued to get over the bridge......I was only a kid and never understood the humour at the time.

My dog goes to the "Hilton Animal Hospital" which is so named because of the street that its on. Although their website doesn't have it their sign on the street is rather reminiscent of old Hilton hotels branding.
My dog has one night towards lifetime status there... http://i64.tinypic.com/2j1ab0y.jpg |

OT, but there is an award winning hotel in Cyprus brazenly using the Four Seasons name.
It's actually a really nice place and the service there is impecable, so it definitely lives up to the name. I visited it a couple of weeks ago and it was absolutely buzzing. All the other hotels on the strip were dead at the time as it's currently out of season for that resort, but this place was packed! Apparently it all went to court a few years back and they won because their logo was different. http://www.fourseasons.com.cy/ There must be a bunch of hotels in Hilton Head with Hilton Head in their names. |

Older but well-kept building that has kind of a classic New York City look to it, so it kind of fits. |
