The Keating Building,^[2] also known as The Keating Hotel, is a 35-room luxury boutique hotel in San Diego. Located in the center of the Gaslamp Quarter, the Keating is located near the San Diego Convention Center, Balboa Theater, and Petco Park.

It is a five-story Romanesque Revival-style building, built as an office building with then modern conveniences of steam heat and a wire cage elevator, in 1890. It was designed by George J. Keating and was completed by the Reid Brothers after Keating's death. The San Diego Savings Bank occupied the corner space in the building from 1893 to about 1912, and its old safe was still in the building in 1980.^[3]

In the 2000s its interior was redesigned by Pininfarina and in 2007 it was re-opened as the Keating Hotel.^[4]

In 2012, the hotel was featured on the FOX reality series Hotel Hell starring Gordon Ramsay.^[5]

-The Keating Hotel Group “KHG” was established in preparation for the re-development, construction, operation, and franchising of a series of “limited edition” Keating Hotels by Pininfarina worldwide.
-Recently recognized, and awarded, by the most prestigious worldwide media outlets and publications, KHG prospers as a clear leader at the cutting edge of the hospitality industry. Adding to its acclaim, The Keating Hotel by Pininfarina has most recently been featured on Condé Nast Traveler’s Hot List of new Hotels, MSNBC’ short list of the “coolest hotels,” and Fortune Magazine’s “Top New Business Hotel Spots [of] 2008”, and has also recently been awarded the 2008 HotelWorld “Hotel Owner of the Year” and Hospitality Design’s inaugural “2008 Earth-Minded Award.”
-Each limited edition franchise hotel will ride this highly advantageous and ever-expanding wave of acclaim and publicity through its exclusive intellectual property agreements, each Keating Hotel by Pininfarina franchise, and its furnishings, will be exclusively designed by the Italian design firm Pininfarina, the world-famed master designers behind Ferrari and Maserati. Each new Keating Hotel by [[Pininfarina]] will also have naming rights and collateral material signatures from one of the most well-known and highly regarded brand names in the world. The Pininfarina name brand has recently joined the exclusive ranks of brands valued at over $1 Billion. The exclusive access to this branding has equated, and will continue to equate to, hundreds of millions of free media impressions and value-added world-wide marketing exposure.
