I really don't know the reason why, but this version has been renamed to "Hotels", maybe MB had copyright issues in the United States? Anyway this version features again a totally different design, which reminds very much the European edition. All the hotels have the same name except L'Etoile, which now is called Le Grand, another mistery for me. The entrances are now red instead of yellow and the cars have a Limousine-like shape, even the banknotes are different. The walls are thicker and they fit perfectly inside the holes in the bases.
The rules are pretty the same but in olny this edition each hotel has a space marked with a star which is reserved fot that hotel, so each hotel has at least a chance to have an entrance.
There are many differences of hotel values from the 1986 edition.
In this edition Royal hotel doesn't have the two "small-precious-hated" lampposts, which most of the european players have now broken or lost (if you watch on Ebay auctions, people generally specify if the box include them or not). The only negative of this version is that the box doesn't include any plastic partition, so that all of the items are messed up.
The Canadian version (which is called "Milton Bradley's Hotels") includes all the texts both in English and French plus a paper insert with French instructions.
The Japanese version is similar with texts written both in English and Japanese and is called "Hotels deluxe" (ホテル王). The hotel names are written on the walls too.
Only in the United States release Fujiyama and President walls have a metallic paint overlay.
