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.

San Diego’s first true luxury boutique hotel that transformed the Gaslamp District from bland to chic. The Keating Hotel, with its premier downtown location, offers panoramic views of the city’s skyline and first class access to the finest local cultural arts, shops, nightlife, restaurants, sporting and entertainment venues.

Reflecting historic grandeur and modern allure, The Keating Hotel offers a chic retreat from the urban metropolis that redefines the world of luxury accommodations. With its sophisticated Italian design and matchless personalized services, the Keating Hotel caters to guests every desire from arrival to departure and beyond.

The Keating Hotel features 35 custom-designed luxury guest rooms “stanzas”, by world renowned Italian design firm, Pininfarina. Each stanza, Italian for loft style guest room, incorporates contemporary design elements juxtaposed amongst historic building details.

Stanzas are outfitted with exposed brick paired with warm wood trim, stainless steel lining, and crimson plush beddings. High vaulted ceilings and soft lighting overlook hand crafted Pininfarina furniture, luxurious Frette linens, and state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen technology. Stainless steel vanities invite guests to come clean in deep blue sinks infused with chrome finish, as the walk-in rain shower entertains an intoxicating escape.

Stanzas at The Keating Hotel perfect comfort and style. Lounge on the curvilinear window seat and enjoy panoramic views of the Gaslamp glow through oversized open air windows. Make yourself at home; we understand if you extend your stay.
