We construct a hyperbolic group with a finite classifying space that admits no geometric action on a proper complete CAT(0) space. Consequently, a finite aspherical simplicial complex with a linear combinatorial disk-filling inequality need not have a finite locally CAT(0) homotopy model, and hence need not have a finite locally CAT(−1) model. Here metric models carry geodesic length metrics inducing the given complex topology.
