The Keating Hotel By Pininfarina - A boutique San Diego hotel with Italian-designed rooms in the Gaslamp Quarter

Located in the Gaslamp Quarter, The Keating Hotel By Pininfarina occupies a historic building with original architectural accents. This 3.5-star San Diego hotel features industrial-style rooms equipped with Bang & Olufsen HD entertainment systems, Lavazza espresso machines, Bluetooth connectivity, and custom-designed glass rainfall showers. Each room includes Egyptian cotton sheets, goose down duvets, and DIY cocktail minibars. The property maintains a 2500-square-foot meeting space highlighting the building's historic architecture, plus a simple fitness room with Nordictrack equipment. A small lobby showcases vintage black-and-white photographs documenting the hotel's history. The Keating's central position places guests within walking distance of the San Diego Convention Center (0.5 miles), Westfield Horton Plaza (0.5 miles), and The New Children's Museum (0.5 miles). Eight restaurants, including De Medici Ristorante Italiano and Bandar Restaurant, operate within 0.5 miles of the property.

Pros

Historic building maintains original architectural elements

Central location surrounded by 8 restaurants within 0.5 miles

Custom Italian-designed room features including rainfall showers

24-hour fitness access and bicycle rentals available

Cons

“What stands out is the modern design within a historic building. The hotel is located in the Gaslamp Quarter, putting guests near nightlife and attractions. I think the personalized room features are worth noting. It could be a chic, convenient base for exploring San Diego.”
