Review: The Keating Hotel

Keating Hotel in San Diego – Where Luxury Meets Modernity

The Keating Hotel brings a European feel to San Diego that was notably absent. Designed by the Italian Pininfarina Group, it is a ‘first creation’ and strikes at heart of post-modernity. The Keating redefines so-called ‘hotel design’ by bringing in an international chic lifestyle.

Located on F Street in the bustle of downtown San Diego, The Keating’s size should not give you a negative first impression. Sometimes flavor is sparked by the grandeur of what can be. Taking a liking to a San Diego chain hotel can sometimes remove you from innovation, as can happen if you overlook the Keating.

Spacious and inventive, there are 35 stanzas (Italian for guestroom) created ultimately for luxury and sensuality. Constructed with no interior walls, an abundance of space brings back the intimacy of communal love. Stepping beyond traditional privacy, these walls merge together warm and wet zones – Pininfarina describes these zones as the bedroom and bathroom. Welcoming in guests not frightened by skin, the Keating appeals to lovers and close families alike.

The linens are designed by Frette, and the down feather beds as well as pillows create an inviting lure. Look up and vaulted ceilings will change your concept of a good night’s sleep. Even the smallest details, such as the espresso machine, are designed by Pininfarina – making everything ooze with Italian sex appeal. Water spouts from the ceiling for your shower, the chairs are deep-red and retro, and the shades of warm and wet colors create a feeling of ultimate exquisiteness.

A multitude of one of a kind Stanzas are available at the Keating Hotel in San Diego – the oversized one-bedroom suite completes your night with a dash of skyline.
